Documenting a Proof-of-Concept Experiment
- Technical Reports: Monthly reports, special reports, analysis.
- Theory: The DPF generates fusion. With modifications, can it generate net energy?
- Methodology: Step by step explanation of the experiment.
- DPF Design: This Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) is unique.
- Instruments: What you use to measure the results.
- Simulation: modeling the plasma.
- Troubleshooting: What to do when things go wrong.
- People: The team.
- Milestones: Key moments on the path.
- History : More detail of the long and winding road.

FF-1 main insulator improvements underway
Jun 04, 2011Reprinted from the LPPX June 2, 2011 Report:
Insulator breakdown causes discovered, reinforcement started
Reinforcement will be completed in June for planned firing with 12 switches up to 45 kV in July.
Symmetry Solutions to Support Greater Fusion Yield
Jun 04, 2011Reprinted from the LPPX June 2, 2011 Report:
Uneven tungsten pins likely cause of asymmetric firing, lower fusion yields.
Continuous knife-edge cathode base, previously produced, is ready for installation in June and expected to bring increase in yield. Soot contamination also to be improved.
