Commonwealth Fusion Systems has completed testing of its Central Solenoid Model Coil, a critical component in building its SPARC tokamak reactor.
Massachusetts-based Commonwealth Fusion Systems, the world’s largest private fusion company, has achieved a key milestone in its journey to producing energy for the grid. Earlier this week, the company successfully tested the Central Solenoid Model Coil , a crucial component of its SPARC tokamak reactor design that could one day help produce carbon-free energy.
Since its inception in 2018, Commonwealth Fusion Systems alone has raised $2 billion, making it the biggest nuclear fusion company in the world. With the successful CSMC testing, CFS has moved a step closer to realizing itsCFS is working with the tokamak design for its fusion reactor and previously tested the Toroidal Field Model Coil in 2021. Both the TFMC and CSMS use high-temperature superconducting magnets and will work together to control the fusion plasma inside the reactor.
The CFS team also ramped up the electrical current to 50,000 amps, the maximum current SPARC is designed to work with and one that could power up 250 homes.
