What sets General Fusion apart from the outset is our uniquely practical MTF approach with a liquid metal wall. Our technology was designed from the ground up with a power plant in mind.
By addressing key barriers such as material degradation, fuel production, energy capture, and cost, our approach offers a practical path without relying on expensive lasers or superconducting magnets.
The liquid metal wall:
- Shields the fusion vessel from neutron activation.
- Produces tritium fuel through neutron interactions with lithium.
- Captures the energy produced by fusion efficiently. The liquid metal then circulates to a heat exchanger, producing steam to drive a turbine and generate clean electricity
