• About

  Who we are, our mission, principles, organizational structure, relationship to Lawrenceville Plasma Physics ("LPP"), funding, how you can get involved and legal information.

  • People

    The people behind the Focus Fusion Society.

• News

  News from the Focus Fusion frontier!

  • Progress

    Everyday reports on the progress of Focus Fusion, including notes on work in the lab, physics, and other thoughts.

  • Milestones

    Actions or events marking a significant change or stage in the development of Focus Fusion.

  • Pending

    Actions or events that we have initiated but require further action, often from another party.

  • Setbacks

    Reversals or checks to our progress.

  • Press

    Focus Fusion in the media.

• Science

  The science behind Focus Fusion, science in general, including frontier science and the scientific method and skepticism; energy (maybe this will go under economics); and our competition (fusion alternatives).

  • Focus Fusion

    All things related to the science of Focus Fusion: What is Focus Fusion, the theory, the experiments required for proof of concept, the physics.

  • Fusion Alternatives

    We think the focus fusion approach is the best for realizing the promise of fusion. However, we also think that all promising alternative routes to fusion should be adequately funded, that the fusion field as a whole needs more money. What are the other approaches? And how can we increase support and funding for them?

  • The Energy Crisis

    A look at the history of humanity and energy: our fossil fuel addiction, the industrial revolution, global warming, security and environmental issues related to current energy production and consumption. This category covers all types of energy except for nuclear fusion (e.g., fossil fuels, nuclear fission, traditional renewables).

  • The Scientific Method

    Here's where we discuss frontier science and the scientific method, skepticism, fraud in science, risk taking, and encouraging innovation.

• Transition

  If the Plasma Focus device works as theorized, it means that, within a decade, cheap power stations will be popping up all over the world, completely transforming the energy, resource and political dynamics that we are currently operating under. This section looks at ways to facilitate the transition to fusion world, to make it as universally beneficial as possible.

  • Fusion World

    The vision, the possibilities.

  • Investment & Innovation

    The economics of investment - based on our experience of trying to raise money for Focus Fusion.

  • Environmental Impact

    How will Focus Fusion impact the environment? Why fusion is clean, plasma torches, desalinization, no greenhouse gases, etc. Still, any change has to be looked at and managed carefully. This needs a considered EIS.

  • Economic Impact

    What is the economic impact of a novel new source of energy? Scenarios explored here.

  • Spatial Impact

    If decentralized energy is a viable option, how will it affect the spatial layout of human settlements?

• Fun

  Based on alliteration alone, I think we can have fun with Focus Fusion.
