Direct energy conversion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about a scheme for harvesting electric power from nuclear fusion. For the direct energy conversion of a plasma (partially or fully ionized gas) without fusion reactions, see MHD generator.
Direct energy conversion (DEC) or simply direct conversion converts a charged particle's kinetic energy into a voltage. It is a scheme for power extraction from nuclear fusion.
