Now, will more research be needed on the subject in

do?

I have to do something for a PhD. I am working on a thorium reactor paper as well. I would think it could be feasible to contribute in a small way if there is some engineering to do. I can perhaps do a simulation of the power electronics drive that would run off a pulsed power source such as this at a 1-200 Hz rate and deliver energy to the local grid… eh? Im not sure now, I just knew there was an issue with the switches recently. Would love to learn what your solution is.

What about the bigger picture in the electronics drives aspect? What will the interfaces look like for the photoelectric onion shell device or the beam transformer? Anything?
