How it works
A donut-shaped chamber where powerful magnets hold plasma hotter than the sun's core as it loops around. New high-temperature superconducting magnets let the machine be much smaller.

Google: 200 MW PPA (Jun 2025). Eni: PPA worth over $1B (Sep 2025). Power sold into PJM; offtakers take the clean-energy credits.
STEP 2/4 · AT RISK REBCO superconducting tapeHigh-temperature superconducting magnets use a rare-earth barium copper oxide layer.
STEP 3/3 · WATCH Copper-intensive technologiesMagnet coils and stabilizers; also every grid and transmission project.
STEP 3/5 · WATCH Fusion gets its first buyersContracts exist before the technology is proven, so delivery risk stays with the developer.
