Avalanche Energy hits key milestone on the road to a desktop fusion reactor

Avalanche Energy has operated its desktop fusion machine at 300,000 volts for extended periods, potentially leading to a reactor that produces more energy than it consumes. The design uses electrical currents instead of magnets for fusion reactions. Avalanche plans to generate revenue through radioisotope production and a new testing facility, FusionWERX. With a $10 million state grant and potential profitability by 2028, the company is poised to become a leader in small-scale fusion reactors.
