Simone Giertz and Cleo Abram Tried to Make a Fusion Reactor… But Parts of It Were Stolen!

YouTubers Cleo Abram and Simone Giertz decided to collaborate on a unique DIY project: Building a small fusion reactor in Simone’s LA workshop. Cleo partnered with Helion, a company working on fusion power, to create some of the parts that they would need.

Now, some LA porch pirate is running around with parts to a nuclear reactor. Helion shipped the parts to Simone and some thief boosted a few boxes from her doorstep.

While they wait for Helion to send replacements, Cleo explains to Simone exactly what they’re going to be building, how fusion works, the challenges, and what an energy game-changer fusion could be.
