In-House Fusion Simulation

Horne Technologies’ advanced fusion simulation platform accelerates engineering cycles and reduces costs. By combining simulations with experimental data from our operating prototype, we’ve optimized a design approach that’s leading to faster go-to-market while minimizing R&D expenses.

At the core of our models is WarpX, a fusion simulation program developed under a Department of Energy supercomputing project. At Horne, the same engineers who build our reactors also build the simulations ensuring accuracy and accelerating refinement of both the model and prototype concurrently.

Better Decisions, Faster Iterations

Before we invest in a physical experiment, we run a simulation. We only spend time and resources on building machinery if the simulation indicates promise.

The results are clear: simulating thousands of scenarios before we even turn on the reactor drastically reduces overhead and allows us to rapidly hone in on design elements that have the largest impact.

You’ve heard the saying “measure twice, cut once.” Simulation is how we apply that same practical philosophy to building a fusion reactor.

We Control the Process

Running simulation in-house - on-site, on our own hardware - means that we retain full control.

Usually, researchers have to wait their turn to run a simulation on shared computers housed at national facilities. Bringing this internally means our engineers get full control over the pace and direction of development. Plus, having everything under one roof makes it easier to align simulation, fabrication, and testing.
