Cool Fusion (Non-Maxwellian Fusion)
Controlled fusion achieved by creating a non-thermal plasma where all ions are at the same specific energy level (mono-energetic), usually tuned to a specific resonance frequency, rather than heating an entire gas to...
Direct Energy Conversion Revolution
Proposes a new energy paradigm replacing inefficient steam cycles with 90 to 100 percent efficient direct conversion from aneutronic fusion charged particles
