Do we have a process to make new helium from hydrogen?


If you come up with a process to do that efficiently, the helium will be a lovely bonus but not remotely the most important result. :D


If you want to make new helium, it's far easier to go the other way.

You just need quite a bit of Polonium, Thorium or Radon. Put it in a pool - and then wait a while. You just gotta collect what bubbles to the surface.


Yeah, but it gets quite warm


Nuclear fusion?


We usually take it from natural gas deposits instead.
