    Yes! That is super cool tech. If I remember correctly, only about half of the fusion reaction energy was produced as charged particles though. The other half was free neutrons which are notorious for not interacting with the EM field.

    I love the idea, it is such a cool direct energy capture method, but it is inherently inefficient.

    I’d love to be proved wrong. I did a quick search and couldn’t find the company I’m thinking of, so I’m going off memory.
