Laurelin Energy
We're building a small modular fusion reactor based on the Field-Reversed Configuration. A reactor that fits in a shipping container and powers a city block. Prototype target: Q4 2027.

Cross-Section View
The Field-Reversed Configuration confines plasma using a self-generated magnetic field. Key components labeled.
Phase 01
The FRC reactor uses a simple cylindrical vessel - no complex toroidal geometry required. Watch as the components come together.
Phase 02
Superconducting coils slide into position along the axis. Mirror coils at each end create the magnetic bottle that confines the plasma.
Phase 03
Two plasmoids form at opposite ends of the reactor. Each is a superheated blob of ionized gas at 150 million degrees.
Phase 04
The plasmoids accelerate toward each other and collide at the center, merging into a single confined plasma.
Phase 05
A cigar-shaped plasma forms, self-confined by its own reversed magnetic field. This is the heart of the FRC.
Phase 06
The defining feature: plasma current reverses the magnetic field inside the separatrix. Red lines show closed flux surfaces trapping the plasma. Cyan lines show the external field.
Phase 07
Toroidal current flows around the plasma axis. This current generates the reversed field that makes FRC confinement possible. No external transformer needed.
Phase 08
Deuterium and helium-3 fuse, releasing 14.7 MeV protons. Charged fusion products exit through the magnetic cusps at both ends.
Phase 09
Charged fusion products are decelerated through an inverse cyclotron converter, directly generating electricity. No thermal cycle needed — 90% conversion efficiency.
Phase 10
The entire reactor fits in a 40-foot shipping container. Transportable by truck, rail, ship, or C-17 aircraft. Deploy anywhere in 72 hours.
Deployment
Container arrives by C-17 or convoy. 72 hours from delivery to full power. One unit powers an entire FOB — command centers, medical facilities, communications, lighting.
Active
Instant power to critical infrastructure. No fuel convoys. No generator noise. No emissions. Energy independence in hostile territory.
Applications
Disaster relief. Remote mining operations. Island nations. Arctic research stations. Data centers. Lunar bases. Anywhere the grid can't reach.
Comparison
One FRC reactor replaces an entire diesel generator farm. No fuel convoys. No emissions. No noise.
Fundamentals
Two plasma clouds form at opposite ends and accelerate toward each other at 200 km/s.
Plasmoids collide and merge at the center, compressing and heating the plasma.
The plasma's own current creates a reversed magnetic field that traps and compresses it.
At 150 million °C, D-He3 nuclei fuse, releasing energy as charged particles.
Milestones
Physics basis established. Laboratory-scale FRC demonstrates stable confinement.
First integrated system test. Plasma temperatures reach ignition threshold.
Net energy gain achieved. First power delivered to grid.
Factory production begins. First deployments to remote installations.
Sustainability
D-He3 fusion produces no radioactive waste. Activated components decay in <100 years.
No greenhouse gases during operation. Lifetime carbon footprint 50x lower than natural gas.
Closed-loop cooling requires 95% less water than thermal plants.
200 MWe from a shipping container vs. 500 acres for equivalent solar farm.
No tokamak complexity. Just physics.
