About the Company

Xcimer Energy

Develops inertial fusion power using laser

Xcimer Energy develops inertial fusion energy systems to provide fusion-powered electricity. Its core setup combines a 10+ megajoule KrF laser, a consumable hydrogen fusion target, and a HYLIFE-style chamber with a liquid-lithium wall to absorb energy and protect the reactor. The laser compresses and ignites the hydrogen target to release fusion energy, which is then captured and sent to a power conversion system. The company aims to offer economical, scalable fusion power for utility-scale electricity generation within the next decade.
