Our team wrapped up the formation section testbed power bank upgrade and is now back to running plasma tests. This test bed enables our team to optimize how we form FRC plasmas in our systems and will provide early data to inform Polaris operations. #engineering #manufacturing #fusionenergy

In 2022, our team was facing a dilemma. We needed a 1.5-meter quartz tube for Polaris’ vacuum vessels and no supplier was prepared to build it — at least not on the timescale we needed. Our Arc Fusion program was born from that: A drive to build something that has never been done before, in pursuit of building a machine capable of demonstrating electricity from fusion. After 2 years and many hours of rigorous testing, the team has successfully formed their final quartz tube, bringing an end to the vacuum vessel production program.

Our team was at the Workforce Snohomish Mixed Industries job fair this week. We had the opportunity to connect with members of our community in Everett and talk about what it’s like to build fusion generators. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

Congrats to the Helion research team for being awarded a Department of Energy Mission Science Award for a NERSC allocation! The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) supports research in the physical sciences with access to high-performance computing resources. This Mission Science Allocation Award provides our team with time on DOE supercomputers and storage resources to simulate fusion-relevant field reversed configurations using the state of the art open-source particle-in-cell code WarpX. (https://lnkd.in/gT9VWpNW) As we complete construction of our 7th fusion prototype, Polaris, we’ll use these simulations to help us design and build the world’s first commercial fusion power plant. The animation here is an example of the work we can do with WarpX to model FRCs.
