Our fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth TF magnets are now in place in tokamak hall. Our SPARC fusion machine will have 18 total — two sets of nine we'll later join into a single donut-shaped arrangement. #FusionEnergy
In case you've been wondering — yes, we've been quite busy 🧲.
We're now up to eight installed toroidal field (TF) magnets of the 18 total our SPARC fusion machine needs to help confine its superhot plasma. 1/2

#FusionEnergy costs are indeed key to its eventual success. Those costs are deeply connected to a fusion company’s choice of architecture, where it’s critical not only that the eventual power plants can be economical, but fundamentally, that a commercially relevant machine can actually work. 1/3
Fusion is having a moment: Investors have poured more than $14 billion into the tech.
But proving fusion works is only the first step. The bigger question is whether it can ever make power cheaply enough to compete.
