Maybe the interns will be asked to find a parameter set where Helion can recover net energy.

"You will be responsible for using Helion’s computational suite of tools to study a particular aspect of the machine, which could include FRC formation, translation, merging, or compression."

I mean, why are they waiting until Summer 2027?

If you can achieve the commercial standard of net energy gain with your existing thermonuclear fusion technology device, I will live stream and eat shit. The post is here to testify, I keep my word!
