AMFN~American Fusion is trading at all time highs at .07 and just getting started with BIG news today April 24, 2026, the company was awarded 1.7 billion to be cancelled and they are officially gone bringing the outstanding share from 3B to 1.3 billion (Raising the ESP). This is a new company trading on the OTC for a limited time with plans of uplisting/ dual listing. There are plenty of catalysts upcoming and very strong leadership. The technology; Fusion energy which will meet the needs of growing demands powering ai data centers, missions in space possibly and other applications. It is worth checking out, please don’t take my word for it and look into it yourself at https://keplerfusion.com/ and https://americanfusionenergy.com/ as a bonus I’ve included a quick you tube link https://youtu.be/9XcrLaEvmX8?si=z1TkcRVYqraZTrAK

The Sun regulates fusion using plasma oscillation as a governor rather than suppressing it. Every tokamak instability suppression programme treats oscillation as the enemy. Has anyone formally asked whether plasma has natural rhythms that reactor engineering should synchronise with rather than fight?

Startups are started by optimists. Startups are funded by optimists (and/or super high risk takers.) Timelines for optimists are…well , optimistic (and usually about 1/3 to 1/4 the actual time to do something that has never been done before.) Holding their feet to the fire for being optimistic is a waste of time. However, there comes a point when the question needs to be called. It seems like Helion is at or near that point. I appreciate the success they had with their DT campaign. Very impressive. But they have many distractions. The Hercules program is laudable for its purpose but feels poorly timed. Orion is a shell-in-waiting. What the heck is going to go in it so that the ON switch can be flipped in 2 short years? Completing the generator design, lining up manufacturing for many less than off-the-shelf parts, and assembling the device feels monumental within the timeline. I do wish them great success but I’m still a fan of crawl, walk, run. Prove that there is a need for Hercules first. Prove that the knowledge exists to design the generator before building its home. I’m sure the thinking is that doing things serially slows things down. It does. But parallelism is a slowing agent as well if it distracts from efficiently completing the core job. My hope is that Helion hasn’t gotten swept up in startup bravado. It isn’t helpful; thoughtful efficient execution is the only thing that really counts.

Interesting take on we inherently keep trying
