Company developing thermonuclear fusion through staged Z-Pinch plasma confinement.
Magneto-Inertial Fusion Technologies, Inc. is a company developing a method of controlled thermonuclear fusion, based on Staged Z-Pinch, a pulse-power-driven, plasma-compression system. Instability problems with staged Z-Pinch have hindered the progress towards fusion power production. Scientists at MIFTI believe they have solved these issues using software supplied by the U.S. Air Force.
The Z-Pinch is an approach for simultaneously heating, confining, and compressing plasma by applying an intense, pulsed electrical current which generates a magnetic field.
A by-product of MIFTI's fusion technology is the ability to generate radioisotopes for use in nuclear medicine.
