Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Yep, they are definitely prototyping a manufacturing plant for their future machines with Polaris. They have been experimenting with various ways to build the quartz tubes and capacitors. Quite a learning process there, from what I gather. Not just the actual manufacturing but also the supply chain.

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Interesting, recent article about Helion's search for a first site for their2028 Microsoft power plant: https://kpq.com/company-aiming-to-build-fusion-power-plant-near-malaga-visiting-site/ This part stood out to me: Our last machine, which we called 'Trenta', showed that we can produce commercial c...

Re: ZAP Energy News
Yeah, the odd thing with Zap is that their simulations came out worse than their experimental results. That is why they are spending a lot of time on refining their simulations.

Re: ZAP Energy News
Yeah, I am still optimistic about Zap, but slightly less than I am for Helion. They are still my number 2 in the race.

Re: ZAP Energy News
https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.155101 Anyone have access to the full article? They mention they have a "basis" for scaling laws now, curious to know their scaling laws for Zap. I do not have the paper and I could not find it so far, but the Fusion power was expected to scale to th...

Re: ZAP Energy News
They should get in contact with Avalanche fusion and discuss about using their feedthrough technology. They could than expand their working parameters space to a degree where practical tests would make more sense than investing into simulations. They are doing both, but I assume that they want to g...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
TAE vs Helion in a nutshell, and indeed, Helion is on a faster track to commercial fusion electric power. The unknowing layman may do the reflection that the faster you push in the energy needed to reach the required conditions, the faster the instabilities should evolve. But I guess they have done...

Slow news lately, but here is a bit from Helion about their upcoming capacitor installation at Ursa:

Re: General anti-fusion attitude
Several so called "green NGOs" have already started to gear up against fusion. Greenpeace is one and I think Friends of the Earth is another, but I might be mixing them up with a different one (there are so many).

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
Link to short Helion- video on Twitter: Capacitors are cooking in the capacitor kitchen! These windings have more than 2,000 layers of thin metallized plastic film. Once completed in our winding machine, every winding undergoes rigorous electrical testing and further assembly before being installed ...

Re: Helion Energy to demonstrate net electricity production by 2024
I wonder whether their formation test section campaign is aiming to achieve just that. To my understanding the separation between Te and Ti happens during the formation, whereas the two temperatures want to return to equilibrium during the compression stage but again, the total pulse length is too ...
