Pacific Fusion Finds Cheaper Way to Make Fusion Reactor Work

Pacific Fusion's Breakthrough in Fusion Reactor Technology

Pacific Fusion, a fusion power startup, has made a significant breakthrough in its fusion reactor technology. According to a recent experiment at Sandia National Laboratory's Z Machine, the company has found a cheaper way to make its fusion reactor work.

The Experiment

The experiment, which was conducted in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratory, aimed to test the feasibility of Pacific Fusion's fusion reactor design. The results of the experiment were shared exclusively with TechCrunch.

The Breakthrough

The breakthrough comes after years of research and development by Pacific Fusion's team. The company's fusion reactor design uses a novel approach to achieve fusion, which is the process of combining atomic nuclei to release vast amounts of energy.

Implications

The implications of this breakthrough are significant. Fusion power has the potential to provide a nearly limitless source of clean energy, which could help mitigate climate change. Pacific Fusion's cheaper and more efficient fusion reactor design could make it more viable for commercialization.

Next Steps

Pacific Fusion plans to continue refining its fusion reactor design and testing it in larger-scale experiments. The company aims to make its fusion reactor technology available for commercial use in the near future.
