Based on the Z machine MAGLIF. Curious how Eric Schmidt is involved as he’s mainly been concerned with DoD projects.

Sounds like the fusion version of Theranos. - big names, big money, questionable science.
4:52 -- It isn't entirely fair to compare them to Theranos, which was fraudulent. There are no allegations of that nature against this company as far as I know.
9:55 - they are fraudulent. The center section on the z machine is heavily damaged after each shot. No way a machine with several times more energy could be fired at 1 Hz and you could extract energy from it. Also those capacitors and switches wouldn’t last more than a day at 1 Hz. There are also problems with energy delivery at those voltage levels. Of course the CTO knows all this, just like Elizabeth Holmes knew she was a fraud.
