NT-Tao (Israeli fusion company)

"NT-Tao raises $22M to explore way to generate energy from nuclear fusion"

Gour-Lavie said that NT-Tao has come up with an ultra-fast heating technology that will scale. He said it could generate plasma at densities that are 1,000 times higher than other leading solutions. This optimal plasma regime yields a fusion reaction that is a million times stronger, resulting in significantly more efficient energy production.
Without giving away all of its secrets, NT-Tao said it is taking the best of Tokamak technology and the best of stellarator technology and are refining those technologies to make a new design that will operate at significantly higher plasma density. The machine can heat up the plasma to huge temperatures that enable the fusion of hydrogen atoms to happen.

This gives NT-Tao the ability to generate a fusion reaction with a much smaller footprint than most of the other solutions under development. Furthermore, NT-Tao’s new magnetic chamber topology is designed to significantly reduce energy loss due to drifts, instabilities and other plasma disruptions, ensuring core temperature is maintained and creating a Super Stabilised Confined Plasma.

I get the feeling that a lot of proposals are flying out of the woodwork looking for investment money, that it is more about the looking than the proposals.
Counting the days to commercial fusion. It is not that long now.

Let me translate this:
"We will take the new 20 Tesla tech that everybody is talking about and we will use it to swap the stellarator magnets. As nobody proposed it until now this is a new design and we are making "innovation"! Please sign the check now."

If we needed more proofs, the guy is a career military with a Master Public Administration focused in Government and National Security from Harvard Kennedy School of Government..........

Anyhow, it's honestly not a surprise that every week one of these company without real innovations is popping out trying to joining the fusion bandwagon, is part of the game when a new technology start to become mainstream.
A society of dogmas is a dead society.

By achieving an impressive efficiency of over 32% in prototype A and further improving performance in prototype B with a stronger power supply, NT-Tao showcases its ability to optimize energy transfer and enhance overall system efficiency.

The quick and successful construction of prototype C-1 is an important achievement that will enable the demonstration and integration of critical components of the Genesis reactor. This is one of many milestones on our path towards an operational and commercialized system.
