Abstract :
General Fusion is a 65-employee private company developing fusion energy with $40M of capital to date. This report will describe General Fusion´s design for an acoustically driven Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) reactor concept. The advantages of this particular MTF scheme will be discussed. Our experimental and numerical work and results so far will be presented, as well as plans for future development.
