Plasma Physics
The science behind the Focus Fusion approach is based on plasma physics.
"In physics and chemistry, plasma is a partially ionized gas, in which a certain proportion of electrons are free rather than being bound to an atom or molecule. The ability of the positive and negative charges to move somewhat independently makes the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Plasma therefore has properties quite unlike those of solids, liquids or gases and is considered to be a distinct state of matter. "

The Magnetic Field Effect
Jul 24, 2006The magnetic field effect is important for focus fusion. By suppressing the transfer of energy from the ions, which generate the nuclear fusion energy, to the electrons, which emit x-rays, we can reduce the amount of energy lost to the plasma by the x-rays, thus heat it hotter and gain more fusion energy.
Focus Fusion is NOT Cold Fusion
Jul 13, 2006Focus fusion is very hot, in fact, requiring billions of degrees of energy to occur.
