Discover magazine Runs Article on Focus Fusion

The June issue of Discover magazine has a very favorable, if brief, article on focus fusion in their Ideas section.  This is certainly the broadest coverage we have had in the mass media and will helpfully open up new opportunities.

Researcher Reports Highly Repeatable Functioning Of DPF

One criticism that has often been raised against focus fusion is that the dense plasma focus can not function in a highly repeatable manner. Indeed in most experiments neutron yield can vary by a factor of three or more for the same conditions.  However, we and other researchers have long contended that a properly-optimized DPF can function in a much more repeatable fashion. Experimental results have now shown this to be the case.

First results from 2-D simulation, 3-D simulation plans

Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. started an ambitious large-scale computer simulation project at the beginning of January, in collaboration with Dr. David Rose of Voss Scientific and Dr. John Guillory, emeritus professor at George Mason University. This project will also use open-source software developed by Dr. Robert Terry.  First results are in…

Large- Scale Computer Simulation Work Initiated

LPP will be starting an ambitious large-scale computer simulation project at the beginning of January, in collaboration with Dr. David Rose of Voss Scientific and Dr. John Guillory, emeritus professor at George Mason University.  In this project we expect to use open-source software developed by Dr. Robert Terry.

Get Involved

There are many ways you can get involved with Focus Fusion and speed the discovery of fusion along. 

Public pursuit of fusion

Why are we taking such a public approach to the pursuit of fusion?  Several reasons. 

Funding Focus Fusion

How much funding does the Focus Fusion project require?  How are we getting the funds?

Light Bulb Transition Screw-up

How many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  And why do we have to screw it in anyway?  There’s no compelling engineering reason for the screw-in design.  It’s a vestigial quirk that rose out of the transition from gas light to electric light. 

Is Focus Fusion RIGHT?

We keep getting asked if what we’re doing is right.  While we would like to assure you that it is, we can’t know, until the experiments are done, if the Focus Fusion device will work as theorized.  The only way to prove it either way is with proof-of-concept experiments.

Transition to Hybrid Cars

Transitions don’t happen over night.  When you compare total energy costs of hummers to hybrid cars today, as Art Spinella from CNW Marketing Research did, you find that the hybrids cost twice as much per mile driven.  Hummer drivers rejoiced at this news, because they didn’t listen to the rest of the analysis.
