We’re depending on publicly available data to arrive at generations for the HiPCO’s. The original HiPCO built under Smalley is given a Generation-1 followed by a Generation-2 for the HiPCO modified by Bronikowski with a graphite heater and a Ceramic based thought experiment from the same time. The 3rd generation simply blows away all competition.
That’s the name for the reactor. Kelley chose HiPCO because the name sounded HiP and the new HiPCO had to sound a little more hippy. It’s been chirstened the HiPCO-3G to denote that it is pretty advanced.
