The magnet technology used in SPARC is intended to give "the world a clear path to fusion power," [33] according to the CFS CEO Bob Mumgaard. As of October 2024, SPARC was targeted to begin operations in 2026, with the goal of demonstrating net power (Q > 1) in 2027. [ 34 ]
Meanwhile, MIT-backed Commonwealth Fusion Systems, which has raised funding from Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson, aims to have a commercial plant up and ...
It hopes to produce its first plasma – the superheated cloud of charged gas in which fusion reactions happen – in 2026 and achieve net fusion energy shortly afterward.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems, a private company spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, plans what it calls the world's first grid-scale fusion power plant in Virginia, to generate ...
SPARC is designed to achieve this with margin in excess of breakeven and may be capable of achieving up to 140 MW of fusion power for 10 second bursts despite its relatively compact size. [ 2 ] [ 1 ] The project is scheduled to start operations in 2026, with the goal of demonstrating net power (Q > 1) in 2027. [ 4 ]
By the time the deal closed in March 2000, the stock was worth $5.6 billion and Aegarter was a billionaire on paper. After the dot-com bubble burst, Aegarter's fortune dwindled to 500 million Swiss francs. He formed Armada Investment Group, a family office to manage his wealth. He capitalized the company with $120 million. [5]
Commonwealth Fusion Systems, an MIT spinoff, raised $1.8 billion in December 2021 to build a tokamak fusion device, called SPARC, at a scale intended to achieve “net energy,” that is, it is expected to output more energy than required to sustain its nuclear fusion reactions. The company is building this facility in Devens.
