The Plasma Fire

Mastering Radiofrequency Waves for Fusion Energy and Beyond

Ignite the power of the stars using the precision of radiofrequency waves.

Strategic Objectives

• Master the complex physics of wave-particle interactions in magnetized plasmas.

• Understand the engineering behind Electron and Ion Cyclotron resonance heating.

• Explore the strategic advantages of Lower Hybrid frequency current drives.

• Bridge the gap between theoretical electromagnetics and practical reactor design.
