TAE Technologies is located in Foothill Ranch, California, where its National Laboratory-scale fusion device, Norman, performs an average of 650 experiments per month. Named after TAE's technology co-founder Dr. Norman Rostoker, the $150 million machine was constructed from scratch and is fifth in a sequence of seven machines that will help TAE deliver commercial hydrogen-boron fusion – the cleanest, safest, most abundant carbon-free energy source – to the world. TAE will begin construction on its sixth machine, Copernicus, this year.
