Our Fusion Technology
A Clean Energy Opportunity
Our Fusion Technology
Designed for Practical Fusion Power
Our Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) approach is designed from the ground up to be a practical, cost-competitive power plant, combining plasma physics, mechanical compression, and liquid metal systems to produce usable energy.
We Build It to Prove It
General Fusion’s program is built on operating real systems, from early prototypes to large-scale machines designed to demonstrate and validate the performance of practical Magnetized Target Fusion.
Tested, Published, Advancing
Each system advances through defined milestones, generating data, validating performance, and reducing technical risk on the path to commercialization.
A Clean Energy Opportunity
Electricity demand is projected to nearly double by 2050
AI, data centers, and large-scale electrification are increasing pressure on power grids worldwide.
Reliable baseload power is increasingly constrained
Traditional energy sources face cost, scalability, regulatory, and environmental limitations.
Future energy systems need clean, firm, grid-compatible power at industrial scale
Renewables face weather-driven intermittency, high storage costs, and geographic constraints.
Meet LM26
Lawson Machine 26, or LM26, is General Fusion’s large-scale demonstration machine for Magnetized Target Fusion.
General Fusion recently achieved plasma heating to 1 keV. LM26 is now advancing toward the next milestones of 10 keV and achieving the Lawson criterion. These milestones are part of our roadmap to a first-of-a-kind fusion plant producing energy in the mid-2030s.
Designed, Built, and Operated by an Experienced Team
For more than 20 years, our engineers and scientists have developed, built, and operated real-world test beds and prototypes. This knowledge and experience have culminated in LM26.
