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]
Direct energy conversion was developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in the 1980s as a method to maintain a voltage directly using fusion reaction products. This has demonstrated energy capture efficiency of 48 percent. [15]
Photon-intermediate direct energy conversion (PIDEC) is a scheme for direct conversion of nuclear power to electricity. PIDEC process is somewhat similar [citation needed] to a concept of fluorescent light - as in the CFL, in the nuclear reactor the original type of energy generated is not useful to humans. CFL uses a fluorescent coating on the ...
The 80s were a big time for fashion. From neon colors to body suits to fingerless gloves, this list will remind you of all the best looks of the decade. 15 Iconic 1980s Fashion Trends
They are not responsible for wildfires in Hawaii or Chile—and painting your roof blue won’t protect you from them.
An advantage of p-11 B as a fusion fuel is that the primary reactor output would be energetic alpha particles, which can be directly converted to electricity at high efficiency using direct energy conversion. Direct conversion has achieved a 48% power efficiency [39] against 80–90% theoretical efficiency. [11]
A fusor, exhibiting nuclear fusion in star mode. Inertial electrostatic confinement, or IEC, is a class of fusion power devices that use electric fields to confine the plasma rather than the more common approach using magnetic fields found in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) designs.
Direct conversion may refer to: Direct energy conversion (DEC), a scheme for power extraction from nuclear fusion, Direct-conversion receiver (DCR), ...
