Helion
Building the world's first fusion power plant
Helion is developing a fusion power plant designed to deliver clean, reliable, and abundant electricity to the grid. Their approach uses magnets to accelerate and merge particles, releasing energy that is converted into usable electricity. Fusion fuel is drawn from water and fusion reactions themselves, producing no long-lived radioactive waste and no runaway chain reactions.
Magnets accelerate particles toward each other, fusion occurs releasing energy, and that energy is converted into usable electricity delivered to the grid.
