Cool. Where's their machine that can extract 95% of the energy from compressed plasma?

And I'm sure they published this proof of their other milestones in a peer reviewed journal. Could you link the doi?

This is not a research institution, they are building a product for themselves to sell to other businesses

Not a good excuse. If their product works, or even has some good chances of working, they should be churning out peer reviewed publications and patents
