Here’s an update on the General Fusion company in Canada, which I’ve posted about occasionally here, on their quest to develop a unique approach to achieving practical nuclear fusion power at a relatively low cost: Tech firm aims to ‘save the world’ with nuclear reactor – The Globe and Mail.

LPPFusion, Inc., formerly Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc, offers some updates on recent developments in their focus fusion program: * Tungsten Cathode Nears Completion after Long Delays The long-awaited tungsten cathode is finally nearing completion in a Chinese factory.  According to the latest reports by California-based Tungsten Heavy Powder(THP), which is performing the work in China, machining will be … Continue reading Sci-Tech: Focus fusion project update from LPPFusion, Inc. →

I recently listed some relatively low cost, near(er) term nuclear fusion power projects,  most of which originated at government labs or from government funded research at universities but are now being pursued by private ventures: Updates on five fusion power projects – Dynomak, Helion Power, EMC2 Polywell, Lockheed-Martin Compact Fusion, and Sandia’s magnetized fusion. LPP focus fusion … Continue reading Sci-Tech: More fusion power projects →

I recently listed updates on five fusion power projects. There are an number of other such alternative projects underway that stand a good chance of beating the big tokamak and laser fusion programs that eat up all the government fusion funding. (Similar to the way NASA’s SLS/Orion boondoggles eat up funding from useful space projects that … Continue reading Sci-Tech: LPP focus fusion update →

While I’m quite optimistic about progress with LENR energy production, it’s great to see progress being made on more conventional fusion approaches as well. There has been a flurry of reports recently on different approaches to fusion that are far simpler and lower in cost than the ITER Tokamak-based system that is soaking up most all … Continue reading Sci-Tech: Updates on five fusion power projects →
