A dramatic enhancement of the deuterium-deuterium fusion reaction rate – 100x beyond thermonuclear – is observed from a field reversed configuration plasma during high power hydrogen beam injection.
Nikkei Science featured TAE Technologies in the March 2017 edition of their magazine.
Watch Miles O’Brien feature TAE Technologies on PBS NewsHour. “In Southern California, this complex, power- hungry machine is hard at work on a seemingly quixotic mission – akin to catching lightning in a bottle.”

Field Reversed Configurations (FRCs) heated by neutral beam injection may include a large fast ion pressure that significantly modifies the equilibrium. A new analysis is required to characterize such hybrid FRCs, as the simple relations used up to now prove inaccurate.
