Q > 1, A Billion Times: Timing, Repeatability, and Recovery in Fusion Pulsed Power

We'll follow one pulse through the dielectric, capacitor, and switch, and get into the supplier-side questions we're starting to see in RFQs: shot life, recovery time, and bank size.

Speakers:

• Alec Laws, Peak Nano: higher-energy-density NanoPlex films for smaller, cooler-running capacitor banks
• Caroline Sorrick, E&P Technologies: turning advanced films into qualified, fusion-grade capacitors
• Dave Chesny, PhD, Equilibria Power: solid-state switching that replaces spark gaps for tighter timing and faster recovery

A live Q&A with all three speakers follows. The timing lines up with the supply chain news: the American Leadership in Fusion Act now lists high-power capacitors and switches as critical fusion technologies, and DOE just approved a capacitor milestone rated for 6 billion pulses.
