Helon

“a lot of physicists have been skeptical of Helon's approach and I I think that's in part because they haven't been able to study it. You know, you don't publish as often as others like Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Um, you know, we've talked previously and you told me that you'd rather be building than writing peerreview papers.”

Helion is discussed substantively regarding their fusion approach, skepticism from physicists, and their commercial strategy, without clear positive or negative sentiment.

“There's one uh that tries to smash two plasmas together. That's what Helion is doing. You've got uh things that use electricity to try to zap a plasma.”

Helion is mentioned as one of several companies pursuing alternative fusion energy approaches using plasma smashing.
