This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape

Cars That Think

In 2015, Mumgaard huddled with a group of his fellow MIT researchers to rethink the approach to fusion power. We showed that we could basically hand-build 16 winding coils and assemble them into one high-performing magnet,” says Sorbom. The team kept the magnet energized in a steady state for about 5 hours. “We
