    OpenStar is advancing fusion energy generation through the development of a levitated dipole reactor, building on the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) concept. This approach integrates high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets with an onboard superconducting power supply.

    Having successfully demonstrated the feasibility of integrating HTS magnets into the levitated dipole concept,...

    The Volumetric Neutron Source (VNS) is a steady-state tokamak designed to bridge the technological gap between ITER and DEMO by enabling full-scale testing of tritium breeding blankets and other fusion reactor components under DEMO-relevant conditions. The VNS magnet system features an innovative magnetic cage architecture, where the superconducting poloidal field (PF) coils are positioned...

    The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is the United Kingdom's next-generation publicly funded fusion power plant prototype, aiming to export 100 MW of electrical power to the grid. For all magnets, the basic requirements imposed by the plasma and the spatial constraints are provided, as well as the anticipated modes of operation where applicable. Then, the most up-to-date concept...
