A New Way to Achieve Nuclear Fusion: Helion
Real Engineering
Real Engineering's Brian McManus explains Helion's approach to nuclear fusion: colliding two plasma rings, compressing them magnetically, and capturing energy directly from the changing magnetic flux rather than boiling water. It covers why this pulsed design sidesteps problems of tokamaks and laser fusion.
It is the go-to accessible explainer whenever HN discusses Helion or alternative fusion designs.
