Designed to confine extremely hot plasma in a tokamak fusion reactor, HTS magnets can enable magnetic fields for applications likely to drive scientific discoveries, improve medical diagnostics, and contribute to advances in the defence industry.

Fusion is expected to contribute to the transition to a clean and secure energy future and TE Magnetics aims to become the market-leading designer and supplier of HTS magnets to the fusion industry.

With over a decade of advanced HTS magnet research, generating more than 200 patents, TE Magnetics is introducing its ultra-high field, robust and cost-effective technology stack at this week’s Applied Superconductivity Conference (ASC) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

In a statement, Dr Liam Brennan, TE Magnetics director, said: “The era of high temperature superconductors is here. TE Magnetics is born from Tokamak Energy’s world-class fusion mission and is centred on opening new fields of performance in applications that will change the world in which we live today. We’re taking our knowledge, skills and talent forward to disrupt existing and create new markets for magnet technologies over the next decade, including renewable energy, science, and land, water, air and space propulsion.”
