Development Milestones

Engineering our core fusion tech for the real world

We’ve shown that the stellarator can be built in a simpler and scalable way

The building blocks for the planar coil stellarator

We are currently focused on iterating these planar magnets and validating their ability using high temperature superconductors (HTS) to create the precise field required for fusion in a simpler and more practical way.

Why It Matters
Expansion into HTS Magnet Manufacturing, Scaling & Iteration

Following the close of our Series A, we rapidly began prototyping HTS magnets.

Our proprietary architecture and IP allow for all magnet systems to be constructed using more conventional manufacturing methods, a radical simplification of stellarator magnet design and a critical advancement allowing for the deployment of stellarator fusion power at scale.

We’re able to iterate our core fusion tech at a quicker pace.

By utilizing an array of smaller and simpler planar magnets, we have been able to advance our tech from generation to generation on a time scale of months, not years (like prior modular stellarator magnets) and for orders of magnitude 
less capital.

Why It Matters
HTS Planar Magnet Testing

Our current testing campaigns operate these superconducting magnet coils at scale and high field, validating our ability to produce the complex magnetic fields required for stellarator systems.

Why It Matters
HTS Magnet Array Testing

We demonstrated the performance and controllability of small and simple magnets for fusion energy with our latest planar coil 3×3 magnet array system. The world’s first superconducting planar coil magnet array created and controlled stellarator-relevant magnetic field structures. These results are the hardware validation to the leading approach for a maintainable and dynamically controllable stellarator fusion system.

Future testing will support analytical models showing recovery and reliability of systems leveraging the planar coil stellarator architecture, where systems can continue to operate if a coil fails. Additional work is also planned to further demonstrate the resiliency of this architecture and its ability to actively control and tune out hardware errors via Thea Energy’s dynamic software control system.
