Tokamak Energy

Tokamak Energy is a private company developing and accelerating the progress of fusion power. It requires scientific thinking, specialist expertise, and serious determination. The company offers the smallest and most cost-effective solution. Their unique approach focuses on rapid innovation using the latest materials and technology, while building on decades of scientific research and experience. Tokamak Energy focuses on spherical tokamaks, pioneered at Culham, because these compact devices can achieve a much higher plasma pressure for a given magnetic field than conventional tokamaks. They deploy high-temperature superconducting magnets to control the plasma within its devices. These magnets allow high magnetic fields to be created in the confined dimensions of compact tokamaks, further improving the efficiency of the device. Tokamak Energy was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
