Ever notice how their machine resembles a direct-coupled motor-generator perpetual motion machine? 😉

Not until now,
i designed one myself when I was ~12, never thought you can add fission reactor to make it work 😀

[Aeronaut]

That’s about the age I was when I came up with the idea. Took my dad about .5 seconds and 0 thought to tell me it wouldn’t work. Maybe a water wheel is what Helion needs to provide the makeup energy?

Topic typo: Helion, not Hellion. :cheese:

The site seems focused on fission waste processing, not energy or Q.

[Breakable]

Well you can get net energy from processing fission waste.

[Aeronaut]

Methinks funding trumps Q over there.
