The Burner — Aegis & MetroVolt

MetroVolt: The Data-Center Housing of the Burner

MetroVolt is the commercial configuration — firm, carbon-free campus power with no steam cycle and no long-lived waste.

MetroVolt is the data-center housing of the same D-3He burner: the longer central-cell configuration, for behind-the-meter campus power. It is deliberately the last product in the sequence because it must clear the highest bars, including a helium-3 supply at scale.

The science

MetroVolt is the burner's reference physics in a longer central cell: the same D-3He mirror, the same direct-conversion architecture, the same closure gates. A longer cell means more fusion power and a larger helium-3 appetite — the enabling fuel condition that puts this housing last in line.

Why it matters

A data-center campus buys firm, clean power with no fuel logistics and no long-lived waste. MetroVolt delivers that from a machine whose direct conversion needs no steam cycle — but only once closure physics and a helium-3 supply at scale both arrive.

Straight answersMetroVolt's fuel need at commercial scale (28-54 kg/yr) is many times current world helium-3 supply — a dependency on lunar helium-3 that Kronos states plainly as external to the company. It waits for the fuel landscape to change.
