Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
From what I understand, pulse length in Polaris is somewhere around 1 ms, give or take a few hundred microseconds. They can not make it much longer for the reasons outlined by Charliem. Again, as mentioned, Helion would rather terminate the pulse early and recover the energy than keep the plasma ali...

Re: Lawaranceville E-Newsletter
New newsletter out today. Welp, they broke their electrode again... It will be at least March until they have a replacement. I predict that we won't see them having any significant progress until mid 2024, maybe even the end of 2024... or 2025... https://www.lppfusion.com/storage/LPPFusion-Report-De...

Re: ZAP Energy News
I wonder if this is a matter of ready to confirm & publish as it seems their FuseQ device test amps is high enough? From what I understand, they have the input current, but the pinch current did not increase as much yet. Could be a lot of reasons for that. Looking at what LPPF has been going throug...

Very happy for them. It is not a lot of money, but hopefully enough to get them started.
