A low cost fusion future

DPF-based hydrogen-boron fusion power plants would combine simplicity of construction and operation with small unit size, low investment cost, low fuel cost and intrinsic safety.

For commercial power production, the DPF device is to be combined with a patented system for direct conversion of the fusion energy into electricity. Pulsed at a rate of 200 discharges per second, the system will provide an electric power output of 5 megawatts.'
