Direct Conversion Technology. Progress report, January 1, 1992--June 30, 1992

The overall objective of the Direct Conversion Technology task is to develop an experimentally verified technology base for promising direct conversion systems that have potential application for energy conservation in the end-use sectors.

This report describes progress that has been made during the first six months of 1992 on research activities associated with these two systems. (GHH)
