A Company Founded for Practical Fusion Power
In 2002, Canadian physicist Dr. Michel Laberge founded General Fusion to develop a practical path to fusion energy. From the beginning, the company has focused on building real systems designed to deliver clean, reliable fusion power at scale.
Over more than two decades, General Fusion has designed, built, and operated experimental systems, test beds, and large-scale machines, advancing fusion from scientific research toward engineered systems for real-world operation.
Our Mission: To Commercialize Fusion Energy
General Fusion aims to deliver economical, carbon-free fusion energy in the next decade through its uniquely practical Magnetized Target Fusion technology.
Building Fusion Through Real Systems
Approach
Designed for Practical Fusion Power
Our Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) approach is designed from the ground up to be a practical, cost-competitive power plant, combining plasma physics, mechanical compression, and liquid metal systems to produce usable energy.
Integrates plasma formation, mechanical compression, and practical energy transfer
Uses liquid metal to protect the machine from neutron damage and capture and transfer heat to produce electricity
Designed for compatibility with existing power infrastructure
Real Machines
We Build It to Prove It
General Fusion’s program is built on operating real systems, from early prototypes to large-scale machines designed to demonstrate and validate the performance of practical Magnetized Target Fusion.
24 plasma prototypes built
200,000+ plasma experiments completed
LM26 demonstration machine built and operating
Real Results
Tested, Published, Advancing
Each system advances through defined milestones, generating data, validating performance, and reducing technical risk on the path to commercialization.
35+ peer-reviewed publications with significant, meaningful results for fusion
Ongoing experimental validation across core systems
Data-driven milestones informing next-stage design
