Unlike other businesses pushing clean nuclear energy, Helion is working on a 'pulsed non-ignition fusion system.'
Microsoft Corporation has placed a big bet on Helion by agreeing to purchase power generated by its nuclear fusion process. Helion is also backed by Sam Altman, the OpenAI CEO with whom Microsoft is spearheading the artificial intelligence race.is the holy grail of clean energy as it promises the generation of power without the emission of carbon or hassles of radioactive nuclear waste.
At the core of the company's attempt is a plasma accelerator that uses powerful magnets to heat a gas mixture to an ultra-high temperature point, where it turns into plasma and is moved by magnets at a million miles to compress them and increase their temperature further for nuclear fusion to occur.Helion has reached a maximum of 180 million degrees Fahrenheit , nearly half of the temperature required to carry out nuclear fusion and release energy.
That's a big ask since its latest reactor prototype, Polaris, is still under construction, and it would need to get the necessary regulatory approvals before it begins supplying energy to Microsoft in 2028.
