Helion Energy is a fusion energy company that develops technology designed to generate electricity through nuclear fusion. The company focuses on a pulsed fusion approach that uses deuterium and helium-3 fuel, combining magnetic confinement, acceleration, and compression to create fusion reactions and directly convert the resulting energy into
electricity. Its technology is based on field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas and aims to recover electrical energy through electromagnetic induction rather than conventional steam-driven turbines. Helion designs, builds, and tests successive fusion prototypes to advance the development of commercial fusion power systems and is currently working toward deploying fusion-generated electricity to the power grid. The company also develops in-house components and manufacturing capabilities to support the scaling and deployment of future fusion power plants.
