- TAE Technologies differentiates itself by focusing on a dynamically stabilised torus, utilising two magnetic topologies.
- We emphasise quick and strong heating, combining Power Electronics and special magnetic topologies to achieve a dynamically stabilised torus.
- Another distinctive factor is the emphasis on smaller, more compact systems, envisioning a fusion power plant about the size of a shipping container.
- TAE Technologies also stands out for its commitment to collaboration and openness.
