PRAGYA tokamak

PRAGYA[1][2] refers to the newly developed Indian tokamak device. It is India's first privately developed low aspect ratio tokamak device designed by the Pranos Fusion Energy.[3][4][5] It is a tiny tokamak device having a radius of just 0.4 m. It is described as a compact tokamak designed as a precursor to a larger device.[6]

History

In the year 2026, the Bangalore based startup company Pranos Fusion in India, started working on nuclear fusion. The nuclear fusion is the same process that powers stars and the sun.[4]

The startup company Pranos Fusion was founded by Dr Shaurya Kaushal, an Indian physicist based in the city of Bangalore in India. In an interview, he explained that the nuclear fusion is the way the universe powers itself, and almost every form of energy humans use today could be traced back to it in some way.[4]
