Helion's seventh-generation pulsed field-reversed configuration (FRC) fusion device, completed in late 2024 and in initial operations. Polaris is designed to demonstrate net electricity production from fusion — the first time any machine would directly recover electricity from fusion reactions using Helion's proprietary direct-energy-conversion architecture, bypassing steam turbines.
Helion's first commercial fusion machine, under construction in Malaga, Washington, targeting delivery of electricity to Microsoft's grid by 2028 under a signed power purchase agreement.
