At CFS, we’re very confident that our SPARC tokamak will generate net fusion energy, a crucial performance threshold also called Q>1. Q is the ratio of fusion power coming out of the heart of a fusion machine to the heating power that’s pumped in to make fusion occur. Achieving

Big, world-changing technologies don't happen in a flash. They're built on days, then months, and then years of steady progress toward a singular goal. Once we turn on our SPARC tokamak and generate net fusion energy, called Q>1, it may feel like an overnight success to those

The future of fusion isn't built all at once. As SPARC moves closer to operation, our team is commissioning the systems that make fusion possible — from cryogenics hardware that keeps our high-temperature superconducting magnets at operating temperature, to the power equipment

"Fusion provides energy that can be built anywhere and operated at any time. That contrasts with renewables, which have intermittency and geographic constraints. It contrasts with nuclear fission, which has geopolitical constraints. It contrasts with fossil fuels, which have

"It’s not like the progress just comes out of thin air. It comes out of real engineers doing real improvements across an entire system to get to the point of net positive energy. And that’s why fusion is at a great moment." – @ktrae CEO and Managing Partner of @engineventures,
