Well, considering they're all one-off prototypes, technically they're all DIY efforts. But I'm sure 3D printers and a handful of Arduinos will make all the difference for the garage efforts

Also, when I was in High School (lo these very nearly 50 years ago!) my junior year english term paper was on the imminent future of cheap, abundant fusiion energy produced in tokomac reactors that were going to get past the breakeven point any day then... :-)

And we were going to use the power generated to warm the Earth back up so the glaciers around Los Angeles would melt back...
