LPPFusion’s IT team, CIO Ivy Karamitsos and Systems Administrator Jose Varela, have completed a major upgrade of the IT network and hardware. The upgrade replaced equipment dating back to 2013-2014. By the beginning of this year, network speeds and data access had...
The LPPFusion research team has been extremely busy preparing for our next experiments—too busy in fact to put out this report until now. (If you want more frequent updates, please follow us on Wefunder and Facebook.) Our first big milestone was installing our new...
“The attractiveness of a low power, low capital cost, and a ‘clean’ fusion power reactor system is worthy of continuing the research at a much higher funding level.” That is the key recommendation of an “Evaluation of LPPFusion Dense Plasma Focus Research”, a new...
President Biden’s infrastructure plan includes the goal of getting to no net carbon emission by 2050. The Fusion Industry Association (which LPPFusion is a member of) has proposed a way of making that goal practical—and even well exceeding it. The FIA is proposing a...
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…
