“What we do is use the expansion of the magnetic field to extract that electricity, and we believe you can do it with much, much higher efficiencies.”
02 / belief
“You want to actually take the smallest thing you can build that accomplishes the mission—and in fusion, there is a minimum size—but accomplishes the mission, and then build it quickly and build whole teams around building it quickly and incentivize folks to move quickly, iterate and learn. And the irony I think of one of the things that I’ve discovered is that by focusing on manufacturing, by focusing on low-cost, very rapid manufacturing, you actually get to do science faster.”
03 / belief
“I think everybody is familiar with that, where you take two positive charges and you try to push them together, and the electromagnetic force between them repels them.”
04 / belief
“I think as I have gone further and further in building fusion systems that work, I’ve become more optimistic around the Fermi paradox specifically.”
05 / belief
“I think about and I look at that process in stars, in that our star is fundamentally an early stage star that’s burning just hydrogens.”
06 / belief
“What does it unlock to have power 100 times the output that we actually do here on Earth right now? And I think that’s pretty transformational.”
07 / belief
“In an FRC, you make the plasma which makes the magnets, and it traps itself. And the craziest part of this, in my mind, is that we actually see this in nature all the time.”
