It's very stable and found commonly.

Helium-3 is also stable, but it's not found commonly.

Fortunately, it's lightweight, so it leaves.

It literally leaves the atmosphere and goes into space.

So we don't have a lot of it here on Earth, and so you have to make it, or you have to go into space.

And there's a whole other thing about where do you get it.

Do you get it from the moon?

Jupiter has, it turns out, massive amounts of helium-3.

But when you take deuterium and helium-3 and you fuse those together, you also get that helium particle, that alpha particle that we call that infusion.

But instead of the neutron, you get a proton.

And that proton is a charged particle.

It's a helium hydrogen nucleus.

That proton is now trapped in the magnetic field, pushes back, and you can extract that electricity.

Now, there's some prices to be paid for this helium-3 fuel, but for a high-beta system like a pulsed magnetic fusion system, that's really the ideal fuel.

All kinds of shapes.

A physics, an engineering, a technical, and a business cost.

And so let's dive in.

Yeah, so we talked about how Helium-3 is, so from the fusion physics point of view,

We talked about 100 million degrees.

That's the temperature that deuterium and tritium fusion works really well.
