Our Technology
A groundbreaking fusion demonstration designed to connect energy and ecology.
The Fusion Demo Program
With engineering work underway, the fusion demonstration has been designed to demonstrate our Magnetized Target Fusion technology, creating fusion conditions in a power-plant-relevant environment. Based in the UK with support from investors across the globe, the demonstration facility will become the world’s largest and most capable prototype for a Magnetized Target Fusion power plant – a prototype intended to demonstrate a massive step forward in practical fusion energy.
Core Fusion Technologies
Creating fusion conditions. Commercializing fusion power. We’re proving the viability of our core Magnetized Target Fusion technologies with attention to sustainable design for industrial infrastructure. We believe greening our global industries should start at the source.
24 prototypes and 200,000 plasma experiments helped us build the world’s largest and most powerful operational fusion plasma injector.
With our scalable control systems, we’ve achieved the required timing precision with full-scale drivers to produce smooth, rapid, and symmetric compression of a liquid metal cavity.
Our field test program substantiates our understanding of plasma behavior and informs our plants’ requirements, work that is critical to creating fusion conditions at scale.

Our Impact
With our core technologies in place, our UK facility is the next big test. Rapid progress is underway. The fusion demonstration facility will provide important insights to support our commercialization of fusion energy. By demonstrating our integrated core technologies in a power-plant-relevant fusion machine, the demonstration validates the economics of commercial fusion power and our readiness to deliver.
Global Fusion Infrastructure
We’re developing a pipeline of early adopters and capturing market leadership for fusion energy. With a practical, durable, and cost-effective machine, we aim to create the conditions and market infrastructure to sustainably convert energy with an economical end-to-end solution.
