A TERM PAPER ON DIRECT ENERGY CONVERTING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
Fossil fuels (coal, fuel oil and natural gas) still meet the major part of our energy demand and are getting fast depleted. Moreover, there are serious pollution hazards like greenhouse effect and global warming which occur due to fossil fuel burning. The use of nuclear power too has its own problems and nuclear fusion is yet to be realized in practice. We have thus been forced to look for non-conventional power generation systems so as to reduce fossil fuel consumption by increasing the conv...
