Fuse
Fuse builds pulsed fusion generators using Magnetized-Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) technology and generates revenue through nuclear effects testing for national security applications.
Fuse builds pulsed fusion generators based on Magnetized-Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) technology, with the stated aim of accelerating the transition to commercial fusion energy. Alongside its fusion programme, the company generates revenue through nuclear effects testing for national security applications. Its technical work spans pulsed power, fusion science, advanced hardware engineering, manufacturing and energy policy.
Two hardware programmes anchor the company's engineering effort. TITAN is an Impedance Matched Marx Generator, an advanced pulsed-power system, while FAETON I is an advanced hardware system under development as part of the pulsed fusion generator programme. Together these underpin the company's pursuit of a viable pathway to commercial fusion energy. The relevant industry verticals include fusion energy, national security, defence, nuclear testing and energy policy.
Fuse describes its team as misfits, tinkerers, skeptics and doers drawn to problems considered impossible, and positions its work as neither a normal company nor a normal job. Stated values include speed, accountability, thinking bigger, and moving fast while learning quickly; the company notes a commitment to the long term and a belief that an untried approach is not an impossible one. Expertise is concentrated in cutting-edge engineering, fusion science, energy policy and manufacturing.
