nT-Tao Deploys 50 MW Pulsed-Power Subsystem to Drive Fusion Prototype Toward Next Temperature Milestone

nT-Tao’s MEGA (Modular Energy Generator Architecture) system integrates 50 Power Electronic Generators (PEGs) with real-time nonlinear control, a roughly five-fold scale-up in the company’s pulsed-power capability

HOD HASHARON, Israel, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- nT-Tao, an Israeli compact fusion energy company, has developed and deployed a new proprietary 50 MW pulsed-power subsystem with real-time nonlinear control, expanding its established MEGA (Modular Energy Generator Architecture) platform. The subsystem is designed to drive the company’s C3 fusion prototype series toward its next major temperature milestone, building on the 1.5 million degrees Celsius already demonstrated.

The new subsystem brings together 50 compact Power Electronic Generators (PEGs), each rated at approximately 1 MW, configured as ten parallel branches of five parallel-connected modules and designed to operate at 50 to 2,000 kHz. It represents a roughly five-fold scale-up from an earlier generation that integrated 12 PEGs into an approximately 10 MW system.

Scaling to 50 PEGs is only half the challenge. The power must also be controlled precisely as the electrical characteristics of the system and the plasma change rapidly during each pulse. The new subsystem builds on nT-Tao’s recently proven real-time nonlinear control system for pulsed-power applications, developed to maintain resonance and ensure maximal power transfer to the plasma under fast-varying conditions.

“The hard part isn't generating 50 MW of pulsed power, it's controlling 50 modules together, in real time, so they act as a single, precisely tuned system rather than fifty separate ones,” said Boaz Weinfeld, Co-Founder and CTO of nT-Tao. “A pulsed-power system that can't be manufactured at scale is a dead end for fusion. Building it from 1 MW modules keeps the footprint small enough for a compact device, and it means scaling up is a matter of repeating a unit we've already proven, not reinventing one.”

Using 1 MW modules also provides configuration flexibility, allowing the PEGs to be connected in parallel or in series depending on application needs. Together, the 50 PEGs and the real-time controller form the power architecture subsystem intended to deliver large amounts of energy to the plasma in precisely controlled pulses, moving nT-Tao closer to its next temperature milestone on the path toward a commercially viable compact fusion system.
