Pacific Fusion, launching with a $900 million Series A, details its innovation in fusion energy led by a Human Genome Project scientist. Their approach to fusion uses inertial confinement but with a twist: instead of lasers, they apply a powerful electric pulse to compress fuel within a shell, achieving significant energy output. Their technical roadmap promises a reactor that boasts a hundredfold gain compared to existing methods, aimed for commercial use in about a decade, leveraging advanced pulser modules for exceptional power generation.
Regan stated the system aims for "100x the gain of what the National Ignition Facility can do at about one-tenth the cost."
Pacific Fusion's approach builds on inertial confinement, where fuel is squeezed to ignite fusion, promising high energy output.
