Would it be extracted via the Rankine cycle? Photoelectric effect? Decelerators?
The presentations I've seen haven't been too clear on this..
Sorry if this has been posted before I didn't know what to search for.
Thanks

The first net power Polywells will likely be D-D and make electricity via Rankine. Later versions will hopefully be p-B11 and use a deceleration grid.
There is a long thread in Design on the deceleration grid.
