The Fuse Energy TITAN project is a pulsed-power driver designed to deliver the energy required for fusion, using a high-power, impedance-matched Marx generator (IMG). It can deliver 1 terawatt of pulsed power in bursts lasting 100 nanoseconds. Unlike traditional tokamaks, TITAN uses a magnetized target fusion (MTF) system to rapidly compress and heat plasma.
