Quick Facts:
- General Fusion’s Magnetized Target Fusion (“MTF”) is designed to solve significant barriers to fusion energy, which comes at a critical time as demand for electricity is surging and nations around the world race to commercialize fusion power.
- As a technology, MTF is intended to achieve fusion in a practical way, avoiding superconducting magnets and high-powered lasers, and enabling the use of existing materials for durable machines that would produce cost-effective energy.
- In early 2025, General Fusion announced that it had designed, built, and begun operating its world-first Lawson Machine 26 (“LM26”) fusion demonstration machine in under two years. LM26 is the first MTF demonstration machine to be built at a commercially relevant scale. It mechanically compresses plasma with a lithium liner at 50% commercial-scale diameter.
- LM26 aims to achieve key fusion technical milestones: plasma heating to 1 keV (10 million degrees Celsius), then 10 keV (100 million degrees Celsius), and ultimately the Lawson criterion—the combination of fusion parameters that can produce net fusion energy in the plasma.
