2038 — fusion, working

FormulaFusion

Every serious fusion developer, one comparable dataset — with the evidence graded.

An independent, bilingual index of the companies building fusion power plants: what they claim, what they have shown, and where the first machines could plug in.

How to read this index

Championship A ranks developers on time-averaged power density at their design point. No private developer has yet disclosed a matched power-and-volume pair, so that ranking is deliberately empty for now.

Championship B is the evidence grade, E1 to E5. It rates how much of a company's technical claim has actually been shown, and it is always published beside — never blended into — the number.

Data confidence, separately, rates how well we sourced each row. Every row carries its sources, both ratings and an as-of date, and every company is invited to correct its own row.

  • Evidence grade E11Measured on hardware of that class
  • Evidence grade E22Subscale demonstrated and larger machine under construction
  • Evidence grade E33Design point published with independent technical backing
  • Evidence grade E44Company-stated design point, no independent validation
  • Evidence grade E55Inferred from partial or indirect disclosure
