In accordance to the laws of thermodynamics, any
efficiency cannot exceed or even reach 100%, but do
not prevent any efficiency from reaching or evenexceeding 90%.
Higher pressures and temperatures (PV=nRT) can allow
greater efficiencies =1-(TC/TH), e.g. TC=300K, TH=3000K,
%=90%.
However, temperatures are limited by ability ofmaterials to withstand high temperature, which is not
the case for magnetic fields (r=mv/qB) that can
withstand very high-temperature ion plasma.

Up to date, all MHD and thermoelectric converters are
still far from reaching 90% efficiency. Most of them
remains below of 30% efficiency.
In space, waste heat cannot be dissipated via
convection and conduction; it can only be dissipatedthrough radiation, which requires heavy radiators with
a large surface area.
A newer and more efficient approach is possible usingphased electromagnetic compression and
electromotive conversion (Electrodynamic Vortices).

It is known that sequential phase variation can producerotating and moving magnetic fields.
Having concentric helix-coils out-of-phase with eachother, forming two contra-aligned arrangementsfor producing opposing helically movingforces resulting in electrodynamic vortices.
Which radially and axially produces twistingelectromagnetic forces, compressing a hot ionized gasF=q(vB), forcing it to expand longitudinally, which
amplifies the alternating EM fields, electrodynamicallyF=i(L B) =(Bv sin) squeezing out its energy to amultiphase electrical system to be effectively harvestedby diode bridge rectifiers (clipping circuit).

Phase rotation keeps plasma centered, preventing very
hot plasma from melting down the coils, opening
possibility of ever higher efficiencies =1-(TC/TH),TC=300K, TH=30000K, %=99%.
Also Multistage Ion Collectors is used for increasing
even more the efficiency, by progressively forcing ions(F=qE) to exchange their kinetic energy into potential
energy (W=qU) slowing/cooling down, and neutralizing
them for collecting their residual energy, which causesan overvoltage on capacitor (E=CV) that is
transferred via three-phase rectifier/inverter to a
battery bank (multidirectional flow of energy).

Fusion Energy Source Although energy conversion directly from aneutronic
fusion byproducts can be highly efficient, the wasteheat from electromagnetic losses (bremsstrahlung) inthe reactor's core could make the overall efficiencystay below the breakeven point. However, by turning
the wasted heat efficiently into electricity, the overallefficiency will surely stay well above the breakevenpoint assuring a net gain for the fusion reactor makingit more easily self-sustaining than ever.
Perfect combination, virtually, no thermal andradioactive waste, a dense energy source with anextremely high degree of cleanness and efficiency topower the electrodynamic thrusters.

Relativistic Space Drive
Vacuum of space in the universe is filled with
electric/magnetic fields/waves, thus net force is achievable.

Conclusion:
The Multiphase Thermoelectric Convertercan harvestmost of the waste heat from theAneutronic FusionReactorand Electrodynamic Space Thrusters.
By doubling (or even tripling) the overall efficiency ofthermal-to-electric conversion, it can reduce or eveneliminate the need for space heat radiators.
Thus, the spacecraft can take off from an atmospheric
environment just using Phase-shiftPlasma Turbines,and then, in deep space, use Relativistic Space Drive tosurf the spacetime at least at subluminal speeds.
