TAE Technologies Appoints CTO Michl Binderbauer as Company President
Binderbauer Expands Role as it Speeds to Complete R&D and Commercialize Fusion Energy Technology
Development of a First-Principles Simulation Model of Turbulent Transport in Compact Tori
May 2017 | D.P. Fulton | The Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference | Poster
FRC core strongly stable! Finite SOL turbulence. Both FLR and gradient-B effects stabilizing. Qualitative agreement with measure doppler backscattering.
C-2U Physics Overview
May 2017 | A. Necas | The Sherwood Fusion Theory Conference | Poster
C-2U is a unique hybrid field-reversed configuration (FRC) where we successfully combine a high-beta (~1) FRC plasma with neutral beam injection (NBI), field line biasing, and mirror physics.
Modeling feedback control of unstable separatrix location in beam-driven field-reversed configurations
March 2017 | Niko Rath | AIP Publishing | Paper
We present a linear, one-parameter model for rigid displacement of a toroidally symmetric plasma.
Enhanced fusion reactivity in the beam-driven field reversed configuration
March 2017 | R. Magee | TAE Technologies | Paper
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.
The Fusion Underground
Nikkei Science featured TAE Technologies in the March 2017 edition of their magazine.
Is alluring but elusive fusion energy possible in our lifetime?
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.”
Equilibrium properties of hybrid field reversed configurations
January 2017 | M. Tuszewski | Physics of Plasma | Paper
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.

Entrepreneurial spirit and fusion research
January 2017 | GOTA Hiroshi | The Journal of the Japan Society of Plasma Science and Nuclear Fusion Research | Paper
TAE Technologies is one of the companies that conduct fusion research in the entrepreneurial approach. It is often asked why and how such research in the large scale and long range may be carried out based on private funds. English version included.
