Technology Assessment & Commercial Milestones

Long-running dense plasma focus program pursuing aneutronic p-¹¹B fusion in a compact, low-cost device. Holds the published record for ion temperature in a fusion device (1.8 billion °C). Thesis: DPF can self-organise into a small, dense, hot plasmoid where p-¹¹B becomes feasible — at a hardware budget orders of magnitude below tokamaks. Key engineering bottlenecks: Electrode erosion and impurity influx; Scaling shot rate to power-plant level. Recent milestones: 2016 — Reported 1.8 × 10⁹ K ion temperature.
