Technical University of Munich design feeds a lunar reactor's 1,000-degree heat straight to soil electrolysis
Julius Mercz of the Technical University of Munich and co-authors design a lunar reactor whose 1,000-degree heat would drive moon-dust electrolysis directly. Sending heat to the hottest job first avoids a lossy detour through electricity, and every temperature in the chain is still a design target in an arXiv preprint.
