 In October 2014, Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works announced the development of a high beta fusion reactor, the Compact Fusion Reactor, intending on making a 100-megawatt prototype by 2017 and beginning regular operation by 2022.Although the original concept was to build a 20-ton, container-sized unit, the team conceded after actual engineering and scientific research and computer simulations in 2018 that the minimum scale would be about 100 times larger at 2,000 tons.In January 2015, the polywell was presented at Microsoft Research.
