I'll believe it when they actually generate net electricity output. I don't necessarily think they're a scam per se, but given the relative resources available and difficulty even for international projects to get fusion power working, I don't suspect their efforts will be successful. Would love to be proven wrong of course, or if not for their work to at least contribute useful progress to the effort.

I mean they’re using an effectively off the shelf reactor which if outputted as promised would fatally irradiate anyone in the area, so i’m not sure the’re really set up to do much beyond separation of fools and money.
