Lawrenceville Plasma Physics High Yield Pulses to Megawatt Generators

Ad Support : Nano Technology   Netbook    Technology News    Computer Software Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) has a goal of generating 30,000 joules with each nuclear fusion pulse. This would be net energy with conversion to elecricity. So if 100,000 joules was put in from the capacitors then they would need say 200,000 joules back and convert that …
