RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

WSI research focuses on compact fusion energy concepts and methods of heating by adiabatic compression (as in a diesel engine). We employ state-of-the-art computational modeling with innovative techniques for forming and compressing plasmas in the laboratory.

Read about compact tori here (from a recent DOE planning activity).

We lead the planning for the compact torus, and summarized our thoughts in a paper, obtainable here.
