Fusion has long been theorized, but has yet to reach commercial viability- even with the advent of new technologies. Scalable fusion means a future with limitless clean energy, but the path to getting there isn’t an easy challenge. We do, however, believe it’s an engineering one.

Our engineering-first, hybrid approach to fusion is built upon practicality. To create scalable and modular energy free of radioactive materials, we combine inertial electrostatic heating (IEC), a superconducting, magnetically-shielded grid, high-beta capable fusion core, and ion-ion and ion-neutral thermalization mitigation optimization. The result is a non-thermal process that doesn’t require the immense fuel and energy requirements of traditional approaches, without the risk of using radioactive or highly regulated materials. By taking a dual confinement approach, we’re able to conduct faster development cycles with less expensive construction.

We’re making fusion practical, decentralized, and more economical to expand energy access and smaller, modular energy generation that can be scaled up or down depending on need.
