Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Do these fusion reactors require ultra high vacuum (10-10 torr) or do they work with regular high vacuum (10-6 torr)? There was a Reuters article that provided an image with the following text appended: "Fusion energy startup Helion Energy's engineers test turbo pumps under ultra-high vacuum for th...

Re: Sabine Hossenfelder on nuclear fusion
Do I read correctly that Helion's plans are based on Helium-3 fuel? I recall the renewed interest in landing on the moon might be to harvest Helium-3. Here's what Helion has stated: Helion produces helium-3 by fusing deuterium in its plasma accelerator utilizing a patented high-efficiency closed-fu...

Re: Small Tri Alpha news blurp
Though TAE and other companies think fusion will become viable in the next decade or so, Prager thinks 20 years is a more realistic timeline to produce net electricity from fusion. “I do have a fear that after five, 10 years when these companies don't deliver, it could smear the field a little bit,...
