Skipjack, do you know if Helion Energy intends to publish their SOFE 2021 poster was well?

I am not sure if there will be any articles in particular but they are planning to provide some more general information. The conference contributions will be published as papers: IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science SOFE‑2021 Special Issue will publish papers based on work presented at the conferen...

Results from the 2021 JET DT-run will be published in early 2022. It will be very interesting to hear how the JET 2021 DT-run went.

A third JET DT-run is scheduled for 2023 and after that JET will be decommissioned in 2024.

The text fragment from the November press release by General Fusion that I bolded seems quite interesting to me: General Fusion announced today it is closing an oversubscribed $130 million (USD) Series E funding round filled by a new syndicate of global investors. This financing, led by Temasek, sig...

Very good news indeed. The fusion race is really heating up!

Have I gathered correctly that they will be putting 50MW on the grid, or did that come to me in a dream? The Helion Energy FAQ states the goals for Polaris: What will Polaris do? Helion's 7th fusion prototype, Polaris, will be primarily built to produce helium-3 through deuterium-deuterium fusion. ...

David told me that they will be public for 60 days after the conference. I guess their latest results were even better than what they are planning to present at SOFE. According to David, this is why they got the 500 million today.

Thanks Skipjack! Those results will be very interesting to read.

This is the announcement from Helion Energy: https://www.helionenergy.com/articles/a ... fundraise/.

Thar is really good news! They have a lot of confidence in putting up a goal of showing net electricity in 2024 with their Polaris device still being constructed! It will be interesting to follow how their plans will work out. Hopefully their SOFE 2021 contributions will be made public after the con...

I am surprised and confused by this as well. I don't think that David knows what is going on either. Last time we talked, he suspected that the list was just not complete yet. Do you know if there will be a Helion Energy contribution to this years conference? I can still not find anything related t...
