The burner's direct energy conversion — recovering charged-particle energy as electricity at about 0.70 — is backed by its own open deposit (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21842864), giving the 1.31 engineering-gain figure a reproducible basis.

Common questions

What is the direct-energy-conversion record?

An open deposit documenting the burner's direct-conversion engine — how escaping ions are decelerated and collected at about 0.70 — so the QE = 1.31 figure can be reproduced.

Why publish it separately?

Because direct conversion is the burner's decisive efficiency step, worth its own reproducible record rather than being buried in a summary.
