Fusion facility using 156 pulsed modules to compress fuel and demonstrate net facility gain.
Demonstration facility broke ground August 2026 in Albuquerque; designed to achieve net facility gain by 2030.
Updated 24 Aug 2026Checked 10 Oct0 updates this week
Each module has 32 stages of 10 bricks. Each brick: 2 capacitors + 1 switch for discharge.
Switches release energy from capacitors nearly simultaneously, creating intense pulse. 156 modules fire together for enormous currents.
Current flows through fuel target, creating magnetic field that compresses fuel to extreme density and temperature for fusion.
Fusion releases neutrons and heat. System designed to capture more energy than pulses consumed, achieving net gain.
