Nuclear Fusion company Trialpha energy Has Raised another $50 million

Tri-alpha energy has reportedly raised another $50 million. Tri-alpha energy is a stealth company that is pursuing commercial nuclear fusion using field reversed configuration colliding beam fusion.


Here is an article from 2007 when they raised $40 million.

And I review some of their recent patents here.

The google copy of the patent is complete.

The patent is interesting reading to get insight into what Tri-alpha Energy is trying to achieve and how what they are doing compares to some other nuclear fusion approaches. Tri-alpha Energy has been very secretive about their work, but they have received about $50 million in funding. Tri-Alpha Energy had previously indicating that they believed that they could achieve the prototype for commercial nuclear fusion (net positive energy at the scale of a commercial plant) at about the 2015-2020 timeframe.
