Re: News story summarizing current contenders
Helion mentioned in one sentence, and that is about funding. Zap Energy is not mentioned. Funny how Gates' project always gets a big splash (Gates is a grifter always on the prowl for magic government money).
Counting the days to commercial fusion. It is not that long now.
Re: News story summarizing current contenders
I lamented that as well. The article seems to be based on the latest INFUSE recipients (which ZAP did not apply for this year and Helion is not participating in in general).

Re: News story summarizing current contenders
Zap is mentioned at the end of the MIFTI paragraph.
Amazing that Gates will spend a hundred or two hundred million just to get $50000 in free government money. Sigh. What a grifter.
That's the first time I've heard of Helicity Space. I couldn't find anything of substance on their website. Looks like they just threw up a PP.

Helicityspace is interesting but lacking funding. Their approach is sort of similar to Helion's but is using Plectonemes instead of FRCs and they are not colliding them head on, but merging them at an angle. They too are a spin- off of the UW.daveklingler wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 2:25 amZap is mentioned at the end of the MIFTI paragraph.

They are mainly focusing on space engines based on a phenomena called "Magnetic Helicity".daveklingler wrote: ↑Sat Aug 20, 2022 2:25 amThat's the first time I've heard of Helicity Space. I couldn't find anything of substance on their website. Looks like they just threw up a PP.
If you are interested to know more we discussed about their idea one year ago on this thread.
Unfortunately since then there has been no news from their side.
