From ignition experiments to a power plant
Inertia builds on inertial-confinement fusion demonstrated at Lawrence Livermore’s National Ignition Facility. Its team includes Annie Kritcher, who designed the ignition experiments, alongside laser expert Mike Dunne and former Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson.
Developing the industrial systems
The program pairs a repeatedly firing laser with mass-manufactured targets and a system that feeds them into the reaction chamber. These are the technology and supply-chain steps required for the company’s planned grid-scale plant.
