LPPFusion’s research team started our long-awaited new set of experiments August 4th, successfully firing FF-2B, our fusion experimental device, with its 16 new switches and newly-redesigned anode. While we are still adjusting and optimizing the new switches,...
Two days after this year’s first fusion shot, LPPFusion successfully concluded out third Wefunder crowdfunding investment campaign. Thanks to all who invested! We raised $683,000 from 816 investors in a whopping 48 countries. We welcome all new investors to the effort...
LPPFusion is still urgently seeking another laboratory researcher. This will be a full-time permanent position in one of the most exciting fusion energy research efforts in the world. We seek a researcher who will assist in all aspects of our experiments including...
LPPFusion has released two new major educational videos and a series of short videos on our progress in the lab. A summary of our fusion research project up to the start of our new experiments is in a new video of the June 14 presentation that LPPFusion President and...
I think that the “Focus Fusion” approach of Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. should be funded as the science behind it is very interesting. Even if this approach does not succeed in producing fusion energy, the research will produce valuable technology in the near term.
A review committee of four senior scientists, led by the former head of the US government fusion program, concluded that “LPPFusion has made an impressive effort to address DPF physics and engineering issues given the limited number of personnel involved,” but that the “program is vastly underfunded and merits a much higher funding level.”
The experimental program that LPP plans to carry out has great potential to show how the plasma focus can be used to generate fusion energy and to demonstrate the feasibility of hydrogen-boron fusion. Read more…
