TE Magnetics HTS magnet systems

Commercial

The company's high-temperature superconducting magnet business, built on REBCO tape wound in-house, sold both into fusion programmes and into non-fusion markets including power distribution, propulsion, motors and generators, and analytical science. Demo4, its 44-coil demonstration system, is the technology proof point.

Current status

Demo4 completed a 14-month campaign on September 9, 2026 at 13.7 tesla peak, 5,600-amp toroidal-field coils, 150 MPa transverse stress and roughly 10,000 operating hours, after first reproducing fusion-relevant fields at system level (11.8 tesla, 7 million ampere-turns) in November 2025. After the August 2026 decision not to construct ST-E1, TE Magnetics is the company's commercial center of gravity: STEP Magnet Systems Partner under a £70M contract to March 2029, Ridgway Machines manufacturing, Furukawa Electric HTS tape work, and the October 2025 General Atomics/DARPA undersea-propulsion magnet contract.
