Direct conversion geometry was worked out a long time ago. The patents aren't very useful because the plasma temperatures that make aneutronic fusion attainable are far out of reach. If you can't demonstrate D+T then you have no hope for D+D or p+B11.
- sounds 5y agoThey're not doing direct capture of the He ion from aneutronic fusion. I'm not the best one to explain what it is Helion is doing, but it's not p+B11 -> 4He.
