Direct energy conversion
Direct energy conversion (DEC) or simply direct conversion converts a charged particle's kinetic energy into a voltage.
See Richard F. Post and Direct energy conversion
Electronics
Electronics is a scientific and engineering discipline that studies and applies the principles of physics to design, create, and operate devices that manipulate electrons and other electrically charged particles.
See Richard F. Post and Electronics
Flywheel
A flywheel is a mechanical device that uses the conservation of angular momentum to store rotational energy, a form of kinetic energy proportional to the product of its moment of inertia and the square of its rotational speed.
See Richard F. Post and Flywheel
Inductrack
Inductrack is a passive, fail-safe electrodynamic magnetic levitation system, using only unpowered loops of wire in the track and permanent magnets (arranged into Halbach arrays) on the vehicle to achieve magnetic levitation.
See Richard F. Post and Inductrack
James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics
The James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics is an annual American Physical Society (APS) award that is given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of the Plasma Physics.
See Richard F. Post and James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a federally funded research and development center in Livermore, California, United States.
See Richard F. Post and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Magnetic levitation
Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields.
See Richard F. Post and Magnetic levitation
Magnetic mirror
A magnetic mirror, also known as a magnetic trap or sometimes as a pyrotron, is a type of magnetic confinement fusion device used in fusion power to trap high temperature plasma using magnetic fields.
See Richard F. Post and Magnetic mirror
Markie Post
Marjorie Armstrong Post (November 4, 1950 – August 7, 2021), known professionally as Markie Post, was an American actress. Richard F. Post and Markie Post are Pomona College alumni.

Mechanical energy
In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy.
See Richard F. Post and Mechanical energy
Mirror Fusion Test Facility
The Mirror Fusion Test Facility, or MFTF, was an experimental magnetic confinement fusion device built using the tandem magnetic mirror design.

Nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion is a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei, usually deuterium and tritium (hydrogen isotopes), combine to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles (neutrons or protons).
See Richard F. Post and Nuclear fusion
Particle accelerator
A particle accelerator is a machine that uses electromagnetic fields to propel charged particles to very high speeds and energies to contain them in well-defined beams.
See Richard F. Post and Particle accelerator
Patent
A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.
See Richard F. Post and Patent

Physicist
A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics, which encompasses the interactions of matter and energy at all length and time scales in the physical universe.
See Richard F. Post and Physicist
Plasma (physics)
Plasma is one of four fundamental states of matter (the other three being solid, liquid, and gas) characterized by the presence of a significant portion of charged particles in any combination of ions or electrons.
