A Sam Altman-backed startup is betting it can crack the code on fusion energy. Here's how it's trying to bring that to the masses by 2028.
A graphic explaining how Helion's fusion energy technology works."That is one cycle of the machine, and then you pulse it over and over in order to get more energy out," Krisiloff said.Fusion could be a better source of clean energy than wind and solar"The fuel comes from water in the form of deuterium, which is found abundantly on Earth," Krisiloff said.
Another benefit of fusion is that it's safer, Krisiloff said, compared to other forms of energy such as nuclear energy, or fission, which is a chain reaction. That means if something happens to the machine producing fusion energy, it will shut down immediately.
Polaris, a prototype fusion reactor from Helion, which recently announced a deal with Microsoft to provide the tech giant with electricity produced from fusion.Compared to other sources of clean energy, Krisiloff said fusion is the most energy dense, meaning it can happen in a confined space, and doesn't need large amounts of land and space required by solar and wind power.
