On 28 February, General Fusion hosted a special event at its Richmond facility in Canada to celebrate the completion of LM26, a significant step forward in the advancement of fusion energy. The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together leading figures from across the industry, as well as government representatives, to mark this important achievement.
We were delighted to be part of the occasion, with Dr. Paul Sieck, Lead Pulsed Power Engineer, attending on behalf of Woodruff Engineering. Having supplied capacitor banks for LM26, we are proud to have played a role in supporting the development of this pioneering machine.
LM26 represents a major technological step for Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF), a promising approach to achieving sustainable fusion power. The machine is designed to demonstrate key technical capabilities, with its performance expected to contribute to future advancements in the field. The rapid completion of this project is a testament to the expertise and dedication of the General Fusion team.
For Woodruff Engineering, the event was a great opportunity to witness the latest innovations in fusion and connect with industry leaders working towards the shared goal of commercial fusion energy. As fusion research continues to gain momentum, collaboration between technology providers and engineering specialists will be crucial in turning these concepts into practical energy solutions.
