LPP Receives Major Investments
(5) CommentsAfter a 7-year hiatus in our experimental work, LPP is back on track to test the feasibility of Focus Fusion!
LPP has received $620,000 in new investments, enabling it to initiate a two-year-long experimental project to test the scientific feasibility of Focus Fusion.
Additional investments are forthcoming which will assure continued operations. [Update: 12/17/08 Additional investments received.]
The goals of the experimental project are:
- first, to confirm the achievement of the high X-ray energies first observed in previous experiments at Texas A&M;
- second, to greatly increase the efficiency of energy transfer into the plasmoid;
- third, to achieve the high magnetic fields needed for the quantum magnetic field effect; and finally,
- to use pB11 fuel to demonstrate greater fusion energy production than energy fed into the plasma (positive net energy production).
LPP is now hiring an experimental plasma physicist and a skilled research assistant to help us design and build the device. [Update: 12/18/08 researchers have been hired.]
After the hiatus in our experimental work, which was due to inconsistent funding, we look forward to producing critical and exciting data in 2009.

Well, Halle-flockin’-luliah!!
All hands on deck! Four sheets to the wind! Fire at will! Pedal to the metal! Go where no reactor has gone before!
At last. About time. Faster Please!
:D
PS, your smiles javascript box doesn’t work, or this would be littered with ‘em.
That would be “smileys” javascript. ;( 8)
Fantastic news! Very pleasing to see Dr. Subramanian from the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement project is on board.
Will Dr. Lu be working from Wuhan, China, or will he relocate?
