MIFTI’s patented Z-Pinch method uses a gas liner to compress hydrogen fuel in a two stage process. This approach both preheats and stabilizes the plasma, reducing the input energy required to reach fusion conditions, while still delivering the intense conditions needed to drive fusion.
Neutron output is the clearest indicator of real fusion taking place. Thousands of trillions of neutrons per shot is widely viewed as the threshold for practical energy generation. Tracking both total yield and rate of improvement reveals whether a company is actually approaching breakeven energy.
MIFTI’s experiments, with our patented Staged Z-Pinch approach, have produced the most neutrons per shot of any private company.
The ability to remain consistent with the industry-standard MHD code simulations while increasing the scale of each experiment is a strong indicator of a company’s likelihood to reach viability in the market and ultimately achieve fusion with net energy gain.
MIFTI’s results have consistently aligned with the numerical simulations from the three different MHD (MagnetoHydroDynamic) codes that are considered the gold-standard across the industry: HYDRA, Mach 2, and FLASH. Our findings have repeatedly met the projections at every energy level tested.
Our approach has been decidedly different from our competitors and peers in the fusion landscape. Rather than raising and spending large amounts of money on building machines to test unproven theoretical ideas, we have been validating our hypotheses and pushing boundaries in the most efficient way possible: through partnerships with universities, national labs, and targeted tests using dedicated commercial facilities.
MIFTI Fusion’s full scale fusion system will be designed to deliver powerful, repeatable fusion reactions that generate net positive energy. Built for scalability and real-world deployment, it represents an achievable path to clean, net-positive fusion energy.
