Eric Lerner

Eric J. Lerner, President of Lawrenceville Plasma Physics, Inc. to the program (see http://lawrencevilleplasmaphysics.com/ and also www.focusfusion.org). Mr. Lerner has been active in DPF research for over 25 years. Beginning in 1984, he developed a detailed quantitative theory of the functioning of DPF. Based on this theory, he proposed that the DPF could achieve high ion and electron energies at high densities, suitable for advanced fuel fusion and space population. Under a series of contracts with JPL, he planned and participated in carrying out experiments that tested and confirmed this theory. In addition, he developed an original model of the role of the strong magnetic field effect on DPF functioning, showing that this effect could have a large effect on increasing ion temperature and decreasing electron temperature. He is as well a leading researcher in cosmology and astrophysics, developing original, plasma-based theories of quasars, large-scale structure and other phenomena of the Universe. As a writer about science and technology he is the author of over 600 articles. He was also a visiting astronomer at the European Southern Observatory. He is now the lead scientist in a new series of experiments in NJ designed to test the scientific feasibility of focus fusion, burning hydrogen-boron fuel with the DPF to produce cheap, clean energy. Mr. Lerner received a BA in Physics from Columbia University and did graduate work in physics at the University of Maryland.

Broadcast 1524 (Special Edition)

Guest: Eric Lerner. Topics: Focus Fusion, fusion energy research and development. Fusion for space travel. Please note that you are invited to comment, ask questions, and discuss the Space Show program/guest(s) on the Space Show blog, http://thespaceshow.wordpress.com. Comments, questions, and any discussion must be relevant and applicable to Space Show programming. We welcomed back Eric Lerner for updates with Focus Fusion and Lawrenceville Plasma Physics.

Broadcast 1338 (Special Edition)

Guest: Eric Lerner. Topics: Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) fusion, fusion energy in general. Eric Lerner was our guest to discuss his work with DPF fusion energy and cosmology. In our first segment, Eric provided us with an update and overview from his last appearance on The Space Show which was in August 2006. Eric explained DPF and responded to the frequent question which is why start with boron and hydrogen fuel when the deuterium tritium reaction is much easier. You will certainly want to listen to his explanation of this.

Broadcast 532 (Special Edition)

Eric Lerner returned for this Space Show program to continue discussing cosmology and alternative theories. In addition to the cosmology discussion, we also talked about the politics of publishing, getting funded, and the peer review process. This is a powerful discussion that will not want to miss. This special show is a one hour program, all commercials are at the end of it. You can learn more about Eric Lerner and his at the websites listed in his bio and also at www.cosmology.info.

Broadcast 529 (Special Edition)

Eric Lerner returned for this Space Show program. We began the interview with Eric updating us on his fusion work and an AFRL report on propulsion using similar technology to what Eric researches. We then turned our attention to cosmology with an in-depth discussion of black holes and new theories that impact the Big Bang theory. I must say that Eric Lerner is brilliant and amazing and you must hear this program. He was so interesting that we are continuing this discussion Aug. 3, 2006 from 9:30-10:30AM PDT. Don't miss it.

Broadcast 467 (Special Edition)

Eric Lerner was the special guest for this Space Show program. Mr. Lerner discussed in detail Focus Fusion which is also Dense Plasma Focus (DPF). Not only did we discuss the relevance of this for us all here on Earth, but for space travel and transportation as well. This program is a continuation in our ongoing discussion of fusion and I must say, Mr. Lerner's approach and what he is doing sounds very plausible and exciting.
