Senior Fusion researchers give major endorsement to Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Dense Plasma Focus Fusion Work and say they expect feasibility will be shown within two years with adequate funding. In a major endorsement of the fusion energy research and development program of start-up Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP), a committee of senior fusion researchers, led by a former head of the US fusion program, has concluded that the innovative effort deserves a much higher level of investment based on their considerable progress to date. The report concludes that In the committees view [LPPs] approach to fusion power is worthy of a considerable expansion of effort. Lawrenceville Plasma Physics has been developing an extremely low-cost approach to fusion power based on a device called the dense plasma focus (DPF). In contrast to the giant tokamak machines that have been the recipients of most fusion funding, a DPF can fit in a small room. LPPs final feasibility experiments and planned commercial generators will use hydrogen-boron fuel, which produces no radioactive waste and promises extremely economical clean energy. http://nextbigfuture.com/2013/12/senior-fusion-researchers-give-major.html Lawrenceville Plasma Physics - Homepage: http://lawrencevilleplasmaphysics.com/
