01. WHAT WE DO

Introducing MIMSV

New MHD-Based Plasma Shaping Control

Use MIMSV to enhance plasma flow dynamics, redistribute density profiles, and suppress specific turbulence modes (e.g., ITG, TEM) in controlled fusion environments. This is a local heating/compression component that can be integrated into the existing control framework to improve efficiency.

02. OUR VISION

Toward a More Stable Fusion Future

We believe that precision plasma shaping. While complex and still in early development, the MIMSV concept aims to complement established magnetic confinement methods by introducing dynamic, modular shaping zones for improved stability and confinement.

We’re committed to a collaborative approach.

03. OUR CONCEPT

A Modular Approach

Our system introduces toroidally distributed magnetic constriction zones that shape plasma pressure and flow profiles. These zones are not injection systems, but instead act to modulate internal plasma dynamics — potentially improving energy confinement, reducing turbulence-driven losses, and enhancing edge fueling.

We envision a staged R&D path, starting with linear and partial-loop testbeds to evaluate local flow effects, followed by simulation-aided refinement and eventual integration into toroidal configurations such as stellarators or hybrid tokamaks.

Technical Enablers

High-temperature superconductors (HTS). Advanced magnetic control systems. Real-time diagnostics for feedback and tuning.

Next Steps

Simulate MIMSV shear zones in both tokamak and stellarator field geometries. Compare mode growth rates with and without modular shaping. Build simplified prototypes to test density and turbulence response.

04. How We See It

Our Perspective

As a concept-focused development group, our role is to explore new architectures that could expand the toolkit of plasma physics. We aim to support, not replace, existing research pathways — offering alternative methods for modulating plasma conditions.

We’re deeply aware that meaningful progress in fusion depends on scientific rigor, collaborative validation, and transparent iteration. That’s why we’re opening our ideas to critical review, experimental testing, and input from experts across the field.

05. How It Works

Discover the key insights behind our concept

MIMSV is based on the principle that localized magnetic field shaping — when applied in a modular and symmetric way can influence plasma velocity and shear without direct material contact.

Our goal is to create controlled pressure gradients and flow dynamics that affect turbulence and transport behavior in a measurable way.

Theoretical Basis

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models suggest that we can suppress specific turbulence types (e.g., ITG, TEM), improving energy confinement.

Simulated Effects

Initial modeling (under development) in geometries similar to Wendelstein 7-X indicates that localized magnetic shaping could lead to up to 150% increase in localized flow — in ideal conditions.

06. To solve challenges

Our Next Step: Building a Strategic Consortium for EIC Pathfinder Open

We are excited to announce our next major milestone — participation in the EIC Pathfinder Open programme. This prestigious EU funding initiative supports bold, high-risk, high-reward research and innovation projects, with funding up to €4 million.

We have already formed the minimum eligible consortium to enter the programme. However, to maximize our chances of success and impact, we are now focused on bringing in strategic partners who share our vision and can strengthen our interdisciplinary approach.

07. Overview of the MIMSV Codebase

DESC & VMEC++ Simulation Results Ready for Review

Key performance trends and observations

Simulations were conducted using open-source software, incorporating the Wendelstein 7-X magnetic-field geometry within the VMEC++ framework. Equilibrium geometry and magnetic-field data were generated using the DESC stellarator equilibrium code. All simulation scripts and resulting data products are available and ready for sharing.

Focus on a “Good Pre-Demo Regime”

Our near-term goal is to identify and validate a credible pre-demonstration operating regime. The reference scale is a mid-size stellarator with a major radius of a few meters, comparable to W7-X. If fully three-dimensional modeling can demonstrate such a regime without extreme engineering assumptions—such as unrealistically high localized RF power—that result alone would represent a significant and credible milestone. From this foundation, a clear scaling path can be defined: moderate increases in device size and magnetic field, combined with ~2× improved confinement, provide a defensible route toward demonstration-relevant performance.

Operational Window

We don’t offer this as a replacement for the standard MHD/transport framework, but rather as a local module; the hypothesis is that it expands the operational window, and the goal is to quantify the gains and risks through step-by-step validation.
