About FFS
The Focus Fusion Society (FFS) seeks to turn the dream of safe, cheap, clean, unlimited energy from aneutronic nuclear fusion into a practical reality, to do it now, and to ensure that this technology is made available to all mankind.
What is Focus Fusion?
Focus Fusion is the aneutronic fusion of Hydrogen and Boron (pB11) fuel using the Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) to create the greenest possible energy. Can it be done?
- Aneutronic Fusion
-

- "a-neutronic" = "no neutrons". The ideal fusion reaction generates essentially no neutrons, ergo no radiation and no weapons capacity. This is not your grandpa's fusion.
- Proton Boron (pB11)Fuel

- Hydrogen nuclei have one proton ("p"). Boron nuclei have five protons, six neutrons (5+6=11, "B11"). Together, p + B11 are the likeliest candidates for aneutronic fusion.
- Dense Plasma Focus (DPF)

- A versatile device. It achieves fusion. Can it achieve net energy? The LPP Experiment will tell.
- How Green is it?

- Hands down, the greenest energy imaginable. Greener than the greenest renewable. Much greener than conventional fusion. Clorophyll, bring it on.
- The Challenge

- Fusion has eluded humanity for 60 years. What makes it so challenging? Is it impossible? Have we really tried? What can YOU do to make fusion happen?
LPP eXperiment
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) is conducting proof-of-concept experiments (X) to show the feasibility of Focus Fusion. Check here for updates.
