After announcing the raising of 432.77 million euros (500 million dollars at the current exchange rate), Helion has finished the round with another 1,471 million euros (1.7 billion dollars). To reach that figure of 2.2 billion dollars, which, as Teknautas points out , represents a significant acceleration in the race to create the first nuclear fusion reactor . Among the investors in this cycle – led by Sam Altman, CEO of Open AI – are, among others, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz; Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal with Elon Musk and the investment fund Mithril Capital, and also Capricorn Investment Group. Meet electrical needs and reduce climate impact In this sprint, which, who knows, will not end with the electric ones.

Helion is taking almost definitive steps. In June, as reported in World Nuclear News , the clean energy company announced that it was the first private company to exceed 100 million degrees Celsius in its sixth fusion generator prototype: Trente . This, they assured, was a  AT&T Email List true engineering milestone, since it is the ideal fuel temperature for a commercial power plant to operate. An Extremaduran inventor is going to donate his energy generator, which allows you to have free electricity at home without depending on any company They were also satisfied with the development of their test campaign: “the performance of fusion fuel has been taken to unprecedented levels and reliability and useful life tests have been carried out on key components of the fusion system,” they highlighted.



These achievements, they continued, represent great advances and have notable implications for how the world meets its growing electricity needs , “while greatly reducing climate impact,” said Helion founder and CEO David Kirtley. Your nuclear fusion project is not like the others They explain in the aforementioned publication that the approach of this first nuclear fusion reactor that Helion is preparing differs in 3 main aspects from other projects. First of all, they indicate, it uses a pulsed fusion system, with which they overcome the most complicated physical challenges, achieve a smaller fusion device and adjust the power output to the needs.
