Frequently Asked Questions
Why invert a tokamak?
An inverted tokamak explores alternative magnetic geometries to improve stability, reduce edge losses, and create more efficient heat-handling pathways. Conventional designs face challenges with plasma edge instabilities and concentrated heat loads. The inverted configuration investigates whether reordering the magnetic environment can distribute forces more evenly and create safer operational envelopes. FMI develops high-level concepts only and does not publish proprietary design details.
Why would you use Josephson‑percolation concepts in superconductors (JPC)?
Josephson‑percolation focuses on enhancing coherence pathways inside superconducting materials, potentially improving signal stability, energy efficiency, and current distribution. It’s a theoretical framework used to explore how micro‑junction networks might behave under extreme conditions. FMI uses these principles in conceptual modeling but does not disclose proprietary material compositions or fabrication methods.
What does FMI actually build or sell?
FMI develops advanced intellectual property platforms — including fusion concepts, superconducting materials, clean‑energy architectures, water technologies, environmental treatment systems, and medical innovation frameworks. These inventions are packaged for licensing, partnership, or further development by qualified labs and companies.
Are these technologies commercially available?
Not yet. Most FMI platforms are at a conceptual, pre‑prototype, or early feasibility stage. We collaborate with research organizations, federal programs, and private partners to move ideas toward testing and validation.
Can FMI share schematics, formulas, or engineering details?
To protect intellectual property and maintain licensing eligibility, FMI does not publicly release internal technical specifications, schematics, or build instructions. High‑level conceptual descriptions are available for informational purposes only.
How does FMI protect its innovations?
Through provisional patents, staged filings, continuation‑in‑part strategies, and controlled information release. FMI also ensures each technology remains compartmentalized for licensing flexibility.
Does FMI work with universities or labs?
Yes. FMI actively collaborates with laboratories, grant agencies, and research institutions to validate concepts and explore prototype pathways. These collaborations operate under NDAs and formal agreements.
Can companies contact FMI about licensing opportunities?
Yes. FMI welcomes licensing discussions with qualified partners. Interested organizations may contact us through the site’s form or via the routing address provided.
Are FMI technologies defense‑related?
No. FMI focuses exclusively on civilian applications — clean energy, water treatment, environmental cleanup, health technologies, and next‑generation industrial infrastructure.
What stage are the fusion, superconductor, and environmental systems in?
Each platform sits at a different point along the R&D arc — from conceptual design (fusion), to advanced materials modeling (superconductors), to applied evaluation (environmental systems). Additional details are available upon inquiry.
Does FMI build physical prototypes?
FMI develops intellectual and conceptual frameworks. Physical prototype development occurs through partnered laboratories and qualified industry collaborators.
Is FMI open to investment or joint ventures?
Opportunities are evaluated case‑by‑case. FMI prioritizes IP protection, ethical use cases, and non‑defense applications.
