Last week we showed how we test HTS tape. Today, we show what we make from it. A superconducting tape is a long way from becoming a magnet. First it has to become a cable, long enough to wind our Stellarator Model Coil (SMC). And while a cable for one coil is a first - and the longest we have ever made - Alpha, our demonstrator, will need more than 40 magnets. Which means kilometres of cable and thousands of kilometres of tape, made in a process we repeat. That is an entire industry in its own right, and we are setting it up here in Germany. Last week’s MoU with Fujikura Ltd. and our September MoU with Lower Saxony on HTS tape production show how. Watch the story of our SMC cable.

You don't need to have worked in fusion to help build it. If you've worked with precision machinery, industrial equipment, complex assemblies or electrical testing, your experience could help us build the next generation of energy technology. At Proxima Fusion, we're scaling our manufacturing capabilities and looking for skilled technicians and manufacturing professionals to build, test and maintain first-of-a-kind hardware. We're hiring across manufacturing, maintenance, production, testing and engineering. 📍 Roles in Munich, Germany, and Villigen, Switzerland. Bring your industry, Build a new one.

Building a star on Earth is one of the most important challenges to solve in our time. Making thousands of identical, reliable components, fast enough to build a fleet of stellarators, is the engineering problem sitting underneath it. At Proxima, that work advances on several fronts at once. As teams test and develop superconducting cables, others build the tooling, secure the materials, develop the systems needed for production and scale the operations behind it. What each team learns helps shape the others’ work. Arne helped turn HTS research testing into an industrial process, and says a typical day doesn't exist. "It feels like riding a bull." Paul A. left the automotive industry for a place "where everything is being built for the first time." Our SMC alone needs roughly ten times its finished weight in raw stainless steel, and Alpha will need more than 40 magnets like it. That is why our procurement team is building a supply chain for many Stellaris power plants, not one machine.

On 22 October, we’re opening our Munich office for Building the Baseload, an engineering evening during Munich Climate Week. Engineers and experts from Proxima Fusion and Reverion will share what they’re working on and the challenging problems they’re trying to solve. We’ll talk about stellarator design and what it takes to turn complex designs into working hardware. If you work in automotive, aerospace, defense or another hardware industry, come along. Bring your questions, share how you approach similar challenges and stay for food, drinks and conversation. 📍 Proxima Fusion, Munich · 17:30
