Commercial fusion energy IS making progress, faster than many realize ...
Avalanche: >10 keV (>115 Million deg C) 2024
Helion: 8.6 keV (100 Million deg C) 2021
Zap: 3.2 keV (37 Million deg C) 2024
Tokomak Energy: 3 keV (35 Million deg C) 2023
TAE: 1 keV (11 Million deg C) 2024
Realta/WHAM: 1 keV (11 Million deg C) 2024
General Fusion: 0.3 keV (3 Million deg C) 2024
Of all the commercial fusion companies there are currently 7 operating with fusion plasma's and here is how they rank in terms of publicly disclosed electron temperatures and when:
First plasma on Neo V4 Orbitron fusion machine. For reference at these conditions (15 kV cathode voltage, 0.2 Tesla) the electron temperature was likely 1 keV or 10 million deg C! We've previously measured >10 keV and >115 million deg C electrons (disclosed at APS DPP 2023/2024 poster sessions).
