TITAN FIRING TIME LAPSE
our approach: maglif
In 2018 and then further in 2022, Sandia National Lab demonstrated the feasibility of Magnetized-Liner inertial fusion (MagLIF) for fusion engineering breakeven. What’s holding us back? Repetitivity and cost. That’s why fuse is obsessively focused on engineering efficiency and affordability. MagLIF integrates proven fusion technologies.
Path to power plant
From shot frequency and debris management to steep costs and system complexity – big challenges remain. But we're undeterred. Our tested, iterative approach breaks down tough challenges into solvable objectives – it's how we've delivered two neutron-producing fusion generators and the world's first IMG pulser in less than three years, on time and on a lean budget.

Progress to date
The Quest for commercial fusion energy is a decades-long, capital-intensive mission. We choose time bound objectives to de-risk our path. So far, we've delivered – swiftly, cost-effectively, and consistently. And we're just getting started.
