    Dr. Lerner,

    I have the ability to source funding from the private placement divisions of regional hedge funds.

    Would it be worth discussing a large-scale fundraising campaign?

    Q: How much would it take for you to achieve large-scale independently varifiable results, which would in turn allow the technology to be brought to market?

    Finally, why haven’t investors been throwing money at you?

    Blacklight raised $55 million, and Dr. Mills’ theories are MUCH more controversal than yours.

    Please email me for my mobile number. I live in Morristown, NJ, and can drive down to see you.

    Thank you,

    Robert F. Sullivan

    First, let me make it clear that Focus Fusion Society is a 501c3 not-for-profit and Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. is a separate NJ for-profit corporation. So I assume you asking a question about LPP.

    LPP has been raising money from investors for six years. Right now, we are in the midst of a capital drive to raise $750,000 to fund an experiment which we think will demonstrate the scientific feasibility of focus fusion. An additional much larger sum, about $20 million, would be needed to develop a working prototype.

    We are very hopeful that we will raise the $750,000 in the near future. But of course LPP will need more money, since this is an absolute minimum for the experiment.

    I can not fully answer why investors have not been throwing money at us. What I do know is that 100% of LPP

    I would love to see a small investment company created with specific goal of investing into Lawrenceville Plasma Physics,
    I believe its possible to raise at least 750k $ this way easily if there was a simple way to channel private funds.
    I for once would be glad to invest at least 10k and my own salary is far from that of highly developed countries.

    This thread seems to be dead, so probably I will not receive an answer but here are my 5 cents…

    I’d also like to invest some of my personal savings into a promising future technology. Just like “breakable” mentioned, i’m thinking of about $10K. Especially given the appalling stock market evolutions and equally appalling interest rates nowadays, I don’t consider it a bad investment for a 10 year or longer timespan. And if this machine really works it could be a goldmine as well.

    I read about an emission of $100 LPP shares, is that still going on?

    Can I get some of these shares, given the fact that I am a private person, not a company, and I don’t live in the US of A?

    I read this investment information and I definitely agree that you will not collect money from private investors until it is certain that your phase 1 experiment can actually be funded.
    I also found the conditions to become an “accredited investor” in this april 23 news article. Unfortunately I fall short of the mentioned $1M asset or $200K income limit by an order of magnitude, so I fear it’s a no-go for me. And in any case, none of these assets are located in the USA

    My $10K investment would be about a sixth of my current financial assets (was more before the stock markets plummeting down, but not including the house I own).
    I would consider this investment as a sort of poker chips, a high-risk bet on the future of clean and cheap energy that I CAN afford to lose. (unfortunately, our world cannot)

    Regards,

    The good of the many outweighs the good of the few, or the one.

    Doesn’t it?
