Portfolio
- Compact Fusion Systems - uses pistons to compress a spinning liquid metal liner onto a plasma target
- FuZE (Fusion Z-pinch experiment) - stabilizes a Z-pinch by inducing sheared axial flow along the pinched plasma. Developed at the University of Washington, spinning out as the company Zap Energy.
- Hyperjet Fusion Corporation - fires and merges fast, converging plasma jets to form a plasma liner that is used to compress a magnetized plasma target .
- MIFTI Inc. (Magneto Inertial Fusion Technologies) - stabilizes a Z-pinch through staged compression of an annular liner onto the central plasma target .
