C-2W’s diagnostic suite verifies our history making FRC Fusion Reactor progress. Key diagnostics has allow progress on answering key physics questions and enhancing understanding.
June 2022 | J. Romero | TOFE | Presentation
C-2W is the world’s first steady-state FRC with fusion relevant parameters, C-2W machine and diagnostics are upgraded often in response to the research needs.
Michl Binderbauer has made an audacious promise. Within the next decade, his company, TAE Technologies, will create a nuclear fusion reactor that delivers energy to the power grid.
“It’s not false confidence,” said Binderbauer, the CEO of TAE. “The building blocks we need — they’re coming.”

Effects of finite ion temperature on the plasma flow in the converging–diverging magnetic field, the magnetic mirror, or equivalently,
magnetic nozzle configuration are studied using a quasineutral paraxial two-fluid MHD model with isothermal electrons and warm magnetized ions.
