I have some questions.
How do you measure the relative temperatures of ions versus electrons in a plasma?
If free hot electrons in a plasma have little temperature effect on ions, then does it matter if there is some radiation loss from the electrons?

Is the proposed onion device a charge collection unit for high speed electrons or a photoelectric unit? If it is a photoelectric unit it should be able to capture the radiation loss from hot electrons. That would mean that anything from high powered lasers to x-ray machines should be able to test the onion concept. An appropriately equipped university lab could design and test a unit with the energy spectrum of a dpf. Maybe it could be a thesis project.
