An overview of accomplishments, challenges, and goals for LPPhysics: Progress over the past year—Where are we and where are we going? You can find additional background with this report at the Focus Fusion Society. In this web write-up, we will be taking a longer view than our monthly reports, looking back over the entire past year’s…
The Somerset County Business Partnership will host Understanding Energy Possibilities: The Focus Fusion Solstice Seminar, a presentation focused on how private research start-up Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) is using innovation to develop an operational method for providing clean, inexhaustible fusion power. LPP has already achieved record relative fusion yields at their “Focus Fusion-1” lab in…
Summary: Experiments this month gave further confirmation of our basic theoretical model of the DPF. ICCD images showed the pinched filament kinking into a plasmoid and gave us clearer estimates of the plasmoid radius and density. X-ray emission energy continues to increase, giving us more confidence for our spin-off X-ray generator applications. Our replacement trigger heads…
Firing all switches repeatedly and reliably On September 29, we finally achieved repeatable firing of all attached capacitors. That day, and on September 30 and October 1, we fired all eight attached capacitors in 11 successive shots with only three pre-fires. While last month we thought that we had the switch problem under control, we had…
First shots and first pinch achieved October 15, 2009 Eric Lerner Receives Energy Research Award The baby is born! After seven years of theoretical work and raising money, five months of design, five months of construction and assembly, and a week of testing, LPP now has a functioning dense plasma focus, Focus Fusion- 1….
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. is pleased to announce that Abdelmoula Haboub will be joining our scientific team as a Senior Research Scientist. He will be working with LPP President Eric Lerner and Senior Research Scientist Dr. K. Murali Subramanian to conduct experiments with LPP’s new Focus-Fusion 1 Dense Plasma Focus. Mr. Haboub graduated from Cadi Ayyad,…
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Initiates Two-Year Experiment to Test Hydrogen-Boron Fusion $1.2 Million Project Funded by The Abell Foundation and Individual Investors Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Inc., a small research and development company based in West Orange, NJ, has announced the initiation of a two-year-long experimental project to test the scientific feasibility of Focus Fusion,…
