I believe he is refering to helium-3 which is more correctly written He3. It is an isotope of helium. I assume it is 2 protons and a neutron in the nucleus. This is an excellent fuel for fusion reactors, because the reaction produces almost on neutrons. Neutrons are the problem because neutrons produce ratioactive isotopes in the structual material of the reactor. There is an (relative) abundance of it on the moon.TimeDog":1ofql2rb said:is there really H3 there like i herd, or can it be made out of the regolith or something?

Lets wait for OP to clarify things up.
Subscript and Superscript are available when posting. The tag macros, if needed, are at the right-hand side of the top formatting bar.Shpaget":xnwn0ikr said:..however without subscript and superscript I guess we can't be sure of anything ...
