Based largely on proposed next generation Sandia pulsed power machine that NNSA passed on after failed design reviews. Unclear why investors think a machine that can fire once a day can put power on the grid.

Requires hundreds of thousand of capacitors and gas switches. These typically last about 20,000 shots. Physically impossible to operate at one Hz as the machine would only last a few hours. Really old technology that was basically invented by the Russians in the 1990.
