    🚀 Type One Energy Advances Fusion Magnet Testing!⚡️ #TAEBC member, Type One Energy announced groundbreaking progress in its journey toward commercially viable fusion energy! 🔋 The company shared that early results from its testing campaign confirm the essential design elements of its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet, specifically built for use in stellarators. These powerful, modular HTS magnets are a key component in modern stellarator machines, which are considered one of the lowest-risk, shortest-path approaches to achieving fusion energy. “Our industry-first agreement with an end-customer for power generation technology, TVA, is market validation that Type One Energy’s strategy for fusion commercialization resonates”, said Christofer Mowry, CEO of Type One Energy. “The combination of our corporate strategy, fusion technology platform, organizational capabilities, and partnerships is what the global energy industry finds compelling about Type One Energy.” 🌱 Learn more here 👉: https://brnw.ch/21wRQnh 📸: Type One Energy

    Super excited to share what I've been working on the past 16 months! Using existing technology, we built a magnet in house from design processes and safety to manufacturing instructions and test facility. It's been a roller coaster and we're only just getting started. So proud of everyone who contributed, amazing job! #FusionEnergy #Magnets #CleanEnergy

    Today, we are proud to share successful early results from our first magnet test. 💫 On March 27th, the team at our Magnet Prototype and Test Facility in Woburn, MA, successfully tested our HTS cable plate at 77K. This comes after months of hard work developing our proprietary stellarator HTS cable and plate technology. We congratulate our team on this amazing accomplishment. With the results of this most recent test, we are excited to finally share more about our magnet prototype, aptly named Magnet Zero. We look forward to bringing you along on this journey, so stay tuned for more. ➡️ Read the full release here: https://lnkd.in/gu-CtQnT

    The #ETECcommunity gathered this morning to hear from David Rausch, Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), who provided an overview of the agency’s role in supporting public safety across the state. Director Rausch spoke about TBI’s commitment to servant leadership, the work of its various divisions, and the importance of ongoing investments in technology that are advancing the agency’s mission. He credited the General Assembly for supporting modernization efforts and shared how new tools on the horizon are positioning TBI for continued success. One key takeaway he offered: Engaged communities are safer communities. Getting to know your neighbors and staying active in your community makes a difference. We also heard an exclusive progress update from John Canik of Type One Energy. We hope you were able to join us in-person or online for that exciting news. Thank you to Fluor Corporation for sponsoring this month’s #ETECFridayMorningMeetingSeries breakfast!

  • ❄️ It's getting chilly in our magnet facility ❄️ Our magnet technology utilizes high-temperature superconductors, which, contrary to the name, actually operate at fairly low temperatures. The name "high-temperature" refers to the fact that these materials can achieve superconductivity at temperatures above 77K (-321°F and -196°C), whereas traditional superconductors typically operate well below 30K (-406°F and -243°C). This means we need to have complex cryogenic systems to keep our magnets cool and maintaining high performance. For the development process, we use a cryo bath to test the magnet in similar conditions to what will exist in our stellarator device.

    New research from Type One Energy, published in the Journal of Plasma Physics (JPP), brings fusion power plants closer to reality. Speaking about the research, Professor Alex Schekochihin, Editor of JPP, commented: "it is crucial that new ideas and designs are both publicly shared and thoroughly scrutinised by the scientific community — Type One Energy and JPP are setting the gold standard for how this is done" Harnessing the power of fusion energy could lead to cleaner and safer energy for all and contribute substantially to combatting the climate crisis.
