Here's a video explaining the principal. They haven't achieved more outpit than input yet, but fusion creates giant magnetic fields that can in theory generate electricity. It's really fascinating

yeah I don't trust that video one bit, when I watched it it sounded like just a recruitment ad for the company. same with his hermeus video

Hard agree, unsubscribed from real engineering the moment I realised they made ads without ever declaring it. It's literally just propaganda at this point

Oh, man. They are working on direct electricity generation from 2H + 3He.

First, that's not new. But then, everything coming out of the mouth of that guy is bullshit. No idea why he doesn't want to explain it, but it's not "hot plasma creates magnetic field and we harvest it".

Anyway, assuming it's not a scam, good luck to them. Google offers me another video saying that one is a scam, though. And given that 2H + 3He fusion is about an order of magnitude harder than what everybody else is doing, I'm prone to believe the title.
