Pulsed compression #fusion:
This is well worth watching, quite a bit more exciting than the recent successful experiment with #inertial confinement fusion net energy gain at the National Ignition Facility #nif
#helion is regularly producing fusion reactions now using temps of 100 million degrees. It's on a path to produce grid power directly from those fusion reactions without employing any heat exchangers or steam turbines.
Its technology can also produce the needed Helium-3 fusion fuel, making it a sustainable industry: It does this by producing Tritium, a valuable isotope which decays to Helium-3 within 12 years.
Helion has not yet reached net energy gain. But unlike other experimental fusion projects, it will immediately be able to start supplying electricity to the grid.
Helion's electricity-producing reactor is scheduled to be online by 2024.
