US firm follows unique pulsed magnetic concept to achieve fusion for limitless energy | The company is using pulser modules, a small meter-scale fusion chamber, and centimeter-scale fuel containers for the critical process.
Based in Fremont, Pacific Fusion plans to use pulsed magnetic concept to achieve fusion energy. Pulsed magnetic fusion uses large electrical current pulses to generate enormous magnetic fields, to compress and heat the fusion fuel.
In 2022, LLNL first demonstrated this advanced IMG technology, opening an efficient and affordable way to reliably achieve inertial fusion conditions,” said the company in a statement. This approach brings advantages that reduce cost and complexity, including high efficiency and mass-manufacturability, a compact fusion chamber, and built-in water shielding, according to the company. Pacific Fusion claims that a future energy producing system would be built of small mass-manufacturable units called bricks(two capacitors and a switch), which are assembled into modules that fit into shipping containers.
