LPP Fusion
LPP Fusion is developing a new energy source, modeled on fusion energy that powers our Sun. The energy produced will be environmentally safe for all life on our planet.

What these terms mean
Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.
- Fusion developer
- Develops a fusion device or power plant concept. Carries no implication that the device exists or works.
- Fusion
- Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
- Z-pinch › › Z-pinch
- A current driven straight through a plasma column, whose own magnetic field squeezes it inward. Long dismissed as unstable; sheared-flow stabilisation revived it.
- Proton–boron-11
- Aneutronic, and requires roughly an order of magnitude more triple product than D-T. A p-¹¹B roadmap that skips D-T is a listed red flag.
In LPP Fusion’s own words
Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.
In our work of developing Focus Fusion , we have often been asked, especially by people without physics backgrounds: “How can I tell if what you are saying is real? How can I tell the difference between your claims, and the claims of a lot of pseudo scientists who say they have cheap or free energy?” So this raises the broad problem of how to tell real science from pseudo-science, something masquerading as science.
LPPFusion’s main technology is Focus Fusion , a fusion energy generator that we are researching and developing. Our spin-off technology is X-scan inspection technology. Our Focus Fusion R&D project was initially funded by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory . It is now backed by over 2000 private international investors including the Abell Foundation of Baltimore.
LPPFusion’s patented technology and peer-reviewed science are guiding the design of our fusion energy based visions of future; a future where humans and planet come before profits. LPPFusion’s nuclear fusion generators will produce safe and clean energy without any radioactive waste. Focus Fusion energy generators can produce virtually unlimited source of environmentally clean energy thanks to the abundance of hydrogen and boron (pB11) fuel and because of its high energy density.
Our approach at LPPFusion differs from most fusion power projects in that we are aiming to use aneutronic , or radioactive waste-free fuels in a device called the dense plasma focus or DPF . Because this device focuses the filaments within the plasma gas inside its vacuum chamber into a tiny fusion producing ball, or plasmoid, we refer to this combination of fuel type and device as “ Focus Fusion .”
