Focused Energy buys two of the world’s most powerful lasers for its fusion quest
Fusion power startup Focused Energy has signed a deal to buy two of the world’s most powerful lasers, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. The massive lasers will be installed in the startup’s future facility, which it is building in the San Francisco Bay Area over the next two years.
These are some of the highest-average-power lasers in private company hands,” Focused Energy CEO Scott Mercer said in an interview. “The technique we’re employing is known as inertial confinement, where several laser beams converge to compress a fuel pellet to the point where its contents fuse and release energy.”
