Could we use slack for free?
I am also using slack for work, would it be convenient to combine?

This is a decent description:
http://www.quora.com/Will-we-see-applicable-nuclear-fusion-any-time-soon
Unfortunately it does not explain the ignition part. Is it actually using fission bombs to do it?

I read someone mentioning that name on our Facebook group a while ago, but I was not able to find any good links that describe it. Thanks for the reasonable description, I would certainly be interested to read a little more about it.

Thanks ThePolywellGuy. I already pledged my support. Will spread the message to the forum members ASAP.

Focus Fusion Society is 501c3 non profit, so any donations to it are tax exempt.

However for the purpose of attracting investment Eric Lerner has incorporated Lawrenceville Plasma Physics which is a for-profit.

I talked with someone from X-Prize about “energy density” prize and “fusion energy prize”. I was quite clear about cold fusion not being real, so I hope this is not something that has come out of that.

Thats cool, nyemi.
How many volts/amps do you drive here?

Hi, not much progress. The technical burden of putting an easy to use irc widget needs to be resolved.
We certainly could make a global chat channel, why would you go for a local one?
I am organizing a meetup group, which would be a little more appropriate for geoip segmenting.

If its something non-urgent feel free to drop me an email ignas@focusfusion.org

Tim1 wrote: Nice chart. What are the prospects of getting more than 66 kJ of gross fusion energy per shot? That would make conversion efficiency less of an issue.

I believe that the best answer is “we dont really know”. Without an extensive research and engineering we cannot really find out. There are some simulations worked on by Dr. Warwick, but they are far from complete.

There is no 90% efficiency requirement. Some of the . This is the energy flow diagram:

Efficiencies are 81% X-Rays and 80% ION, which should be reachable considering it is high energy direct conversion. For example transformers can convert energy with 98% efficiency, but X-Ray to DC (or AC) technology still needs to be developed.
Thermal is counted as a loss. If Thermal is used as energy source it might reduce efficiency required for other methods.
If fusion output is greater due to some pleasant surprise or maybe some clever designs that are thought out during engineering it might be easier to build a production level Focus Fusion reactor.

Hi Mariusz,
Thanks for the donation!
Unfortunately FFS does not really provide any benefits to dues paying members at the moment.
I hope will renew the “sending LPP reports earlier program” once we are done with the crowdfunding which means getting the report from LPP a little earlier than it goes to the public.
Otherwise it would certainly nice to provide some flair on the forums. What do you think Zap? Ben can get you a list of the donors in a csv file if that could be possible.

Hi Mariusz,
We get maybe 2 or 3 posts a week on the forums. So it is somewhat alive. Most action happens on the board of directors though.
PS: We would appreciate any skills. Anything specific you would be interested in? We certainly need someone to work on writing articles.
