Realta & Commonwealth partner to commercialize magnetic mirror fusion energy. Realta Fusion and Commonwealth Fusion Systems have made a long-term strategic partnership for the design and manufacturing of high-temperature superconducting magnets that Realta will use to accelerate the commercialization of its compact, scalable and modular CoSMo fusion energy systems that use magnetic mirror technology. The deal represents a second case where CFS is selling its powerful magnet and superconducting technology to other fusion developers. Realta's magnetic mirror concept confines a plasma between two high field superconducting magnets, now to be produced by CFS. The strong magnetic fields cause charged, energetic particles to bounce back and forth, known as the mirror effect. CFS will develop magnets for Realta's demonstration prototypes as well as its commercial fusion power plants under the agreement, which has the potential to reach a multi-billion dollar value. The partnership also includes talent-sharing of CFS expertise to support the design, manufacturing, deployment and operation of HTS magnets for magnetic mirror fusion systems. The arrangement was announced April 2. "Commercializing magnetic mirror fusion systems requires integrating multiple cutting-edge technologies. By working with the world's leading HTS magnet manufacturer, we are significantly de-risking one of...
