Occupation(s)Magnet Expert, Scientist
TitleChief Scientist and Founding Partner of Kronos Fusion Energy Incorporated

Carl Frederick Weggel is an American magnet engineer known for his work in the development of ultra-high-strength laminated electric conductors and magnetic field calculations.[1] With a career spanning over five decades, he has contributed to various fusion energy programs and advanced magnet systems.[2] Weggel has worked for institutions such as MIT, Inesco Inc, GE Healthcare, SAIC, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and Kronos Fusion Energy, where is a Co-Founder and currently serves as Chief Scientist.[3]

Carl Frederick Weggel's interest in science began at an early age, leading him to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Physics at Harvard University.[4] He later studied mechanical engineering at Tufts University from 1966 to 1970, specializing in high-field magnet design.[5]

Currently, Carl Weggel serves is the primary architect of the S.M.A.R.T. (Superconducting Minimum-Aspect-Ratio Torus) clean fusion energy generator being developed at at Kronos Fusion Energy.[6][7] As a Co-founding partner and Chief Scientist,[8] he is helping in the utilization of aneutronic fuels, such as D-He3, to achieve sustainable energy.[9]
