On the helion site, there's a neutron FAQ about shielding and the magnitude of the radiation. I don't know if there's anything published about this specific issue.
Pls release more stuff, pls we need fusion already, I'm mostly curious about how efficient is the direct energy capture from the changing magnetic field is.
Polaris will slowly ramp up in power and power output. The first shots will likely be relatively weak. They will have to tune and upgrade it for a while. I would be rather surprised if they achieved net electricity before the middle of this year.
I highly doubt they got to net positive just yet. But I do think they're on the right track and that it won't be that long until that happens. Maybe it's just another 5 years away that will keep extending, but I truly believe we're actually getting close for real now.
Ok.. Nice to see but this doesn't do anything for us. Tell us what is going on. Stop with the theatrics. Show us a walk through or just stop with all the glitter.

Studies coming out of ITER help companies such as Helion to achieve their goals. ITER is not unlike CERN. It is a massive science experiment and not a power plant. ITER is at least 4 times as large as any commercial one would be. I am just in awe of what can be learned about the nature of fusion and the confined inertial magnetic fields.
Any machine would be better than ITER which is already past its sell-by date, even though it won’t be operational for another 8 or more years. With this in mind it is hard to understand the comment that ITER results will help Helion achieve their goals. In any case the results with DT plasmas may not carry over directly to D-He3 plasmas though both will have to deal with tritium and neutrons; in the Helion case these come from D-D reactions.
Looks pretty but doesn’t show anything or point to a reference for more information.
Gives me pleasant goose bumps.
So exciting!
How much yield?
Yes
1.21 jigawatts
3.50 shieeet
Turn the darn lights on. Nobody is going to have fun building a lawnmower never mind fusion reactor in the dark.
It’s just a marketing video. Chill hahahaha
I absolutely adore it . Keep it up !
加速器の片方をdryrunで試験したのですね
今年こそは世界初の核融合発電実証を期待しています
あと次も作り始めた方が良いでしょう
Does anyone know how they are dealing with neutron emissions? And where does they publish their findings?

They have pretty thick shield walls made from concrete doped with boron carbide.

Excell 🔥
0:49 I assume the pink flash means Polaris was just test-fired??
How much yield initially?
Are you close to breaking even?
Or DID YOU? 🙂
Polaris will slowly ramp up in power and power output. The first shots will likely be relatively weak. They will have to tune and upgrade it for a while. I would be rather surprised if they achieved net electricity before the middle of this year.
@@elmarmoelzer2229 Thanks, that's a good reasonable explanation. Exciting nonetheless!
Very cool, will there be more information published?
net positive?
If net positive some day, well that’s the holy grail then, indeed. 👍✅ So I say keep going on the work…
I highly doubt they got to net positive just yet. But I do think they're on the right track and that it won't be that long until that happens. Maybe it's just another 5 years away that will keep extending, but I truly believe we're actually getting close for real now.
@@mateusbmedeiros I think it will be much sooner than that. My estimate is 6 months to a year.
Real companies give actual information in their update videos. Close ups/quick editing videos are annoying and useless.
PERFECT
I was here
Ok.. Nice to see but this doesn't do anything for us. Tell us what is going on. Stop with the theatrics. Show us a walk through or just stop with all the glitter.
100%
So LOOOOOT of work because of the total vertical integration which couldn't be avoided.
Finally
When is POLARIS ready for Action ??
Why make a secret of it ??
We are curious people and SpaceX celebrate their strides!!
So you should do !!!
If you look closely, you can see a pink flash towards the end of the video. That is a pulse. Polaris is operational.
@ Are you sure ??
When will Helion communicate that openly ??
Anticlimactic. 😅

"Imitation is the highest form of flattery."
Polaris is a better machine to achive fusion than ITER, ITER is a waste of money and resources
Studies coming out of ITER help companies such as Helion to achieve their goals. ITER is not unlike CERN. It is a massive science experiment and not a power plant. ITER is at least 4 times as large as any commercial one would be.
I am just in awe of what can be learned about the nature of fusion and the confined inertial magnetic fields.
If nuclear physicists believed what you just said Juan, ITER would never have been approved.
Any machine would be better than ITER which is already past its sell-by date, even though it won’t be operational for another 8 or more years. With this in mind it is hard to understand the comment that ITER results will help Helion achieve their goals.
