Making fusion happen - repeatably! Nuclear Fusion

Follow us on Twitter @focusfusion. For several months, stubborn switching refusing to fire within the necessary tens of nanoseconds have slowed progress towards determining the feasibility of focus fusion. On September 29th, 2010, the LPP science team tested a re-assembled FoFu-1 with a new switch design. The Focus Fusion Society was there to document fusion in action!

I fear I may be ridiculed here but to someone who doesn't understand what's going on, this looks like a HOAX... You must admit all the ingredients are present; the corny east indian guy, the mad scientist with crazy hair, the geeky novice kid with glasses in the background all working together spitting out random numbers and turning seemingly rather important nobs.

If I am wrong... well I hope you see the funny side of my comment.

@Helipil0t Watch our DPF animation video for explanation of the device. The dense plasma focus has been around for a while and does generate fusion. The research project here wants to use the DPF to generate net energy from a fusion reaction. But first, they have to get their machine working at high voltages. Most DPFs not attempting net energy use only one capacitor. Coordinating more capacitors and switches is the issue here.

@Helipil0t It seems pretty straightforward. As to your descriptions of the crew...how would you describe yourself?

[benjaminthomasson]

Does it only take 3 seconds for the high energy neutrons to be absorbed enough to be safe to enter the experiment?

[FocusFusionSociety]

@benjaminthomasson Yes, safe. I'll have to get back to you on the specifics.

Thank god not all of us watch jersey shores...

Wake up world. Something big is happening here! Ok just brainstorming. What if the switches were eliminated and a circular spark gap was cut in one of the plates centered on the reactor so it would fire when the voltage was sufficient to jump the gap. You want an adjusable gap? Make an adjustable elevation betwen the inner and outer plate or add an adjustable ring between them. The gap could be enclosed in a toroid insulated gas chamber.

My compliments. One day (not too far) all your efforts will be rewarded.

[Hirvibongari2]

Could all those switches and buttons be in one place? :D

[FlavoredCoffeeGuy]

Here's what I don't understand. Why doesn't anyone design a Magneto-explosive generator to replace that capacitor bank?

[FlavoredCoffeeGuy]

It seems like you could have done this inside of a tube 1/16 of an inch in diameter if you wanted. Well, I know what I'll do with my next lightning rod. Watch it destroy air, and count the neutrons. A lightning bolt with more energy at the Earth end.

@DerekShannon thanks

fusion in coiled copper tubes under water will make steam. the water has it's own field of super heated gas like spiting on a hot plate. i can tell you are doing it. maybe that can help? lets get the ball rolling. don't be a greedy punk after you make it. lets get it now not 30 years from now.

@Helipil0t Your observations are circular. This is a typical physics research lab. The people are also typical. They are made fun of in movies, and so you are keying off of the characture. Consider yourself lucky to have seen the early stages of what will replace your municipal coal plant.

Put it simply. Those guys are saving the world !!! But the world will understand it after 10 years or never ...

@benjaminthomasson to follow up on behalf of @focusfusionsociety, Rezwan asked Murali about this during a visitor's tour today, and it's clear that after just a few seconds the neutrons generated during the shot have bounced around the experimental chamber hundreds of times and lost all their energy. Murali wears a dosimeter and it has yet to pick up detectable levels after many many shots.
