In the middle of the 1960s direct energy conversion was proposed as a method for capturing the energy from the exhaust gas in a fusion reactor. This would generate a direct current of electricity. Richard F. Post at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was an early proponent of the idea. [1]
The Ford Nucleon concept car. The Ford Nucleon is a concept car developed by Ford in 1957, designed as a future nuclear-powered car —one of a handful of such designs during the 1950s and 1960s. The concept was only demonstrated as a scale model.
The experimental reactor was started (reached criticality) in 1964 and decommissioned in 1966, and was used to research the concept of direct energy conversion. [4] It produced 40 kW of heat, [ 2 ] [ 4 ] and reached temperatures of 2,173 K (1,900 °C; 3,452 °F).The reactor operated for 15 000 hrs .
Currently, ATEGs are about 5% efficient. However, advancements in thin-film and quantum well technologies could increase efficiency up to 15% in the future. [5]The efficiency of an ATEG is governed by the thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the materials and the thermal efficiency of the two heat exchangers.

The electrical energy in the coil of the EMP system is translated to potential and kinetic energy through direct energy conversion. This results in the system having the same high efficiencies as other electrical machines while excluding the ejection of any substance into the environment. [14]
