Lawrenceville Plasma Physics
alt

Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. founded in 1974, is a high-technology research and development corporation specializing in applications of plasma physics, including fusion power and high-power X-ray sources.

Our lead project is the development of a dense plasma focus (DPF) fusion reactor, using proton-boron (pB11) fuel, an approach we call "Focus Fusion". This work, which was initially funded by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and is now investor-funded, is aimed at producing an extremely economical, compact, environmentally safe and essentially inexhaustible source of energy that would be at least ten times cheaper than any existing sources. It has already achieved major experimental milestones, including the achievement of plasma confinement at energies equivalent to two billion degrees, high enough to fuse hydrogen and boron. We are carrying out new experiments with our Focus-Fusion-1 experimental device in Middlesex, NJ.

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. - Bruno Coppi, Professor of Physics and Senior Fusion Researcher, MIT

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. In addition, the experiments will investigate the magnetic effect, which will be very exciting. Achieving giga-gauss magnetic fields with the plasma focus, getting gyro-radii of the order of the electron Compton wavelength, will certainly be new physics and will open up large new possibilities for energy production. - Dr. Julio Herrera, Professor of Physics, National Autonomous University of Mexico
