Getting to 1Hz Shot Rate: From 2,160 to 352,800 — The Capacitor Supply Chain That Commercial Pulsed Power Fusion Demands

Commercial pulsed power fusion has a supply chain problem. This whitepaper traces the evolution of the Impedance-Matched Marx Generator (IMG) and examines what commercial MagLIF architectures targeting 60+ MA actually demand from the capacitors at their core.

The whitepaper covers:

• Why BOPP's 17,000-shot lifetime runs out in under five hours at 1 Hz operation

• Capacitor counts by system: 2,160 (Sandia Z) to 50,000 (Pacific Fusion DS) to 352,800 (Sandia Jupiter concept)

• Why 70-80% of global capacitor-grade film sourced from China is a national security risk at a commercial scale

• How NanoPlex™ HDC delivers up to 4x higher energy density than BOPP with a 100% U.S.-engineered, allied-nation supply chain
