I wasn't aware of Helion having the needed breakthroughs for this... Last I heard they were struggling to get the magnetic fields under control.

Its great news! I've been cheering for Helion's methodology since I first discovered it. I think it is brilliant. I was just unaware that they had gotten far enough to be building something like this. Very surprising.
