The burner's direct-conversion technology decelerates escaping ions against a biased electrode array ('venetian-blind' collector), recovering their energy as electricity at about 0.70 — no steam cycle. It is backed by its own open deposit and underpins the burner's engineering gain of QE = 1.31.
Common questions
What efficiency does direct conversion reach?
About 0.70 — well above a Carnot-limited steam cycle, because charged-particle energy is recovered as electricity without being turned into heat first.
