We are pleased to announce that Energy Singularity has signed a definitive agreement with Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) recently on the collaboration of our first experimental tokamak, the world’s first tokamak based on HTS magnets. This tokamak is designed to achieve steady-state operation with high confinement plasmas and bootstrap current fractions. We schedule to complete the construction of this device and produce the first plasma in 2024. It will provide an important technological basis for next-generation high-field tokamaks and will demonstrate the feasibility of HTS applications in fusion devices.
About SWIP
SWIP is one of the most important and renowned institutes focusing on magnetically confined fusion technology in China. Their history of fusion research dates back to 60 years ago with an advanced track record along the way, including the successes of a series of Tokamak devices, HL-1, HL-1M, HL-2A and HL-2M. SWIP is a major contributor for ITER as well.
About Energy Singularity
Energy Singularity was founded in 2021 in Shanghai, China. Our goal is to develop fusion energy by leveraging recent breakthroughs of and strong synergy among HTS magnets, advanced tokamak physics, and AI technologies. We believe, once realized, fusion energy will be abundant, economic, clean, safe, and globally deployable.
