Serving Defense and Civilian Needs

The burner's two housings serve fixed defense installations (Aegis) and data centers (MetroVolt); both are clean-power roles, stated plainly.

One machine, two homes

The burner (Aegis / MetroVolt) is a single D-3He tandem-mirror design studied in two housings for two kinds of user. Aegis is for fixed defense installations — resilient, on-site clean power for bases and critical facilities. MetroVolt is for data centers, which need dense, steady power close to load. Both are about supplying clean firm power where it is hard to supply otherwise.

We are precise about Aegis: it is fixed installations, not naval, and its purpose is clean resilient generation, not weaponry. Naming the defense application honestly is part of candor; obscuring it would not be. Clean power for defense infrastructure is a legitimate civilian-adjacent need, and we treat it as such.

The same gates apply to both housings

• Plug coils overstressed ~3 to 3.9x at the design bore
• Operating regime 166 to 830x beyond any existing device
• Helium-3 demand ~400x domestic supply per commercial unit
• Availability 0.86-0.995 vs hyperscale Tier III 0.99982

These are physics findings that hold regardless of housing, and we do not soften them for either user. The burner is a design and simulation study. Serving both defense and civilian needs means serving both with the same honesty. See defense installations and data centers.
