    A nuclear reaction may be accomplished by:

    smashing one nucleus into another through theCoulombian barrier (accelerated particles or neutrons) or,

    by tunneling (non-local nuclear reaction)

    The selection rules for nuclear reactions apply, and thenuclear reaction channels opened and the final products

    depend on the entry parameters of the initial particles

    The nano-structure may also harvest the energy released by thenuclear reaction, when and where it was released!

    The direct nuclear energy conversion into electricity resembles asuper-capacitor charged directly from the nuclear reactions released energy- discharged directly as electric current

    The process has 2 main stages:

    1. The particles released by the nuclear reaction are stopped inthe nano-hetero structure like a planar capacitor - made ofan alternating structure generating electron showers

    2. - The electron showers generated on one plate are collectedby the next plate that becomes negatively polarized

    To amplify the process the capacitor plates are made ofdifferent materials, that maximizes the efficiency

    The device will be a single solid-state unit

    58/63

    With-in a serious approach, the first reliable products may bedelivered in less than 10 years

    The knowledge journey effort is just at the very beginning, and

    much more have to be done in order to understand thefundamentals of this process

    This is the gate towards new fascinating discoveries and applicationsThe power sources we may produce using this process will placethe mankind in a new more friendly relationship with nature, and

    we may become a cosmic civilization, having solved the problemof energy and resources, because with enough energy all otherresources may be had.
