At KAVE Industries, plasma is more than a scientific subject — it is the foundation of our platform approach. From delivering clean air through AirKAVE to advancing surface and energy applications, our focus remains on real-world deployments of the fourth state of matter. As part of this commitment, KAVE Industries’ CEO and Co-Founder, Brett Lieberman, visited the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics in San Diego, joined by Dr. Hal Streckert, who is supporting KAVE’s initiatives in advancing plasma and fusion technologies.
The Role of DIII-D in Fusion Research
The DIII-D tokamak is the largest operating magnetic confinement fusion device in the United States. Operated by General Atomics for the U.S. Department of Energy, it provides a collaborative platform where scientists and engineers test plasma confinement, heating, and control — all critical components of achieving sustained fusion energy.
During our visit, we were able to see the systems and research environment that are driving innovation forward. The DIII-D program continues to be a global resource, producing results that inform not just U.S. energy policy, but international collaboration on the path to commercial fusion.
A Strategic Alignment with Our Vision
For us at KAVE Industries, this visit wasn’t just about observing the scale of the machine; it was about connecting the work at DIII-D to our own ongoing focus. Plasma applications exist on a spectrum — from improving air quality in sensitive environments today to enabling fusion power tomorrow. The principles that govern how we harness plasma for clean air and safe surfaces are part of the same scientific foundation that will ultimately deliver clean, abundant energy.
Our platform approach means we’re not locked into a single application. Instead, we are building across verticals — health, infrastructure, and energy — with plasma as the common denominator. Engaging with leaders at DIII-D underscores how critical plasma will be in every layer of future infrastructure.
Building Toward the Future
KAVE Industries is committed to advancing practical plasma applications while staying connected to the frontier of fusion research. Visits like this allow us to maintain perspective: understanding how near-term solutions like airKAVE contribute to today’s challenges, while preparing for the long-term transformation fusion promises.
The work at DIII-D is a reminder that plasma isn’t just theoretical — it’s an active, evolving field with direct implications for how we live, work, and power the world. At KAVE Industries, we’re proud to play a role in that continuum, bringing plasma innovation from concept to deployment.
