Horne Technologies Updates and Timeline
2019 - Seed funding acquired
2022 - Series A completed
2022-2024 - Fusion systems development
Second-generation device now nearing completion and full power fusion prototype in operation 2024.
Horne Technologies has already achieved:
- World's first superconducting, high-beta plasma research device in operation
- 10 years research and development of fusion technologies
- First use of advanced ReBCO superconducting wire in plasma containment device
- Extensive network of leading plasma physicists, engineers, and scientists
- Design of a record-breaking capable hybrid reactor
Second-Generation Device - In progress
Horne Technologies' large vacuum chamber is housed in our 50ton concrete shielding structure, which has a removable roof.
The second-generation will provide the optimization and parameter data to prove feasibility and acquire data to create a device capable of high efficiency.
The full power prototype device is targeted online 2024:
- Improved coil structure
- Advanced cryogenic cooling
- Advanced plasma diagnostics
- 50KeV plasma temperatures
- Full continuous operation
- Validation of all required technologies
- Optimization and efficiency experiments
The third-generation full power device, also housed in our shielding structure, will utilize 5T+ coils and 100KeV plasma energies in a full-field device.
Third-Generation Device, Full Power Fusion Device - In progress
- Scale up proven technology to full power
- 5T+ magnets
- 100KeV plasma temperatures
- New higher current ion fuel system
- Full continuous operation
