Technology Description
Helion is developing a 50 MWe-scale field-reversed configuration fusion system in which deuterium-helium 3 plasmas are injected into opposite sides of a linear reaction chamber and accelerated into a "burn chamber" at over 100 million mph, where strong magnetic fields compress the merged plasmas to fusion conditions. Unlike its leading private fusion vendor competitors, Helion is pursuing direct energy conversion for its first-of-a-kind "Fusion Engines".
