SPARC plans to verify the technology and physics required to build a power plant based on the ARC fusion power plant concept. [1] 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]
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is an American fusion power company founded in 2018 in Cambridge, Massachusetts after a spin-out from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Its stated goal is to build a small fusion power plant based on the ARC tokamak design. [2]
The ARC fusion reactor (affordable, robust, compact) is a design for a compact fusion reactor developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC). ARC aims to achieve an engineering breakeven of three (to produce three times the electricity required to operate the machine).
During the incident, a 138,000 volt coupling capacitor potential device failed, resulting in an arc flash, which in turn burned aluminum, lighting up the sky with a blue-green spectacle visible for miles around and as far as New Jersey. It received the humorous name "Astoria Borealis" due to its resemblance to the northern lights.
ARC Resources Ltd. is a Canadian energy company with operations focused in the Montney resource play in Alberta and northeast British Columbia. The company has been operating since 1996. The company has been operating since 1996.

In Germany, researchers at the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Space Aviation Systems have been working with arcjets for years and have developed various hydrogen-powered arcjet engines capable of power outputs from 1 to 100 kW. The heated hydrogen reaches exit speeds of 16 kilometres per second (9.9 mi/s).
Understanding arc suppression requires an understanding of both arcing and arc initiation mechanisms. Contact arcs are either a Thermionic-Emission-Initiated-Arc ("T-Arc") or a Field-Emissions-Initiated-Arc ("F-Arc"), and are maintained by a continuous supply of power (think of an arc welder or a Xenon arc lamp).:
