Abstract:
A system including a first cylindrical structure embedded into a second cylindrical structure. The first cylindrical structure includes a combustion chamber. The first cylinder additionally includes a plurality of plasmonic materials on an outer wall of the first cylindrical structure. The second cylindrical structure includes a plurality of photovoltaic cells on an inner wall of the second cylindrical structure. A radius of the second cylindrical structure is greater than a radius of the first cylindrical structure.
