Plasma compression breakthrough: General Fusion hits 600 million neutrons per second | General Fusion demonstrated the viability of a stable fusion process using its MTF approach.
General Fusion attained world-first achievements using its uniquely practical Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) technology.
The high-performing plasmas remained stable and maintained magnetic flux while the fusion neutron yield increased significantly during the PCS experiment. The experiments showed the effectiveness of new technology for plasma formation and compression using a metal liner, providing the foundation for its Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), which is the company’s large-scale fusion demonstration. Its results will significantly de-risk the company’s commercial-scale machine, fast-tracking its path to provide commercial fusion energy to the grid by the early to mid-2030s, added the press release.
