Technology
High-field magnets.
High field, not sheer size, is the lever for compact fusion. Kronos builds on a magnet heritage that runs from the record-setting Alcator tokamaks to modern REBCO high-temperature superconductors.
The approach
Buildable fields, demonstrated hardware.
01
REBCO / HTS
High-temperature superconducting magnets deliver the fields compact fusion needs at engineering scale.
02
Demonstrated, not assumed
The burner's mirror throat is specified at 17 T — WHAM's demonstrated HTS field — kept inside a qualified structural allowable, not an unsourced material.
03
A magnet heritage
The founders designed the Alcator magnets (a Guinness-record field) and record 20 T hybrids — the lineage behind the Kronos coils.
U.S. Patent 12,009,112 covers the high-field magnet system — the moat under both machines.
