How about a gigascale polywell using space/or the moon as its vacume chamber and a few minimagnetospheres to replace the solid magnets and create a virtual wiffleball several tens/hundreds metres diametre, the positive charged ions could be harvested from the solar wind

While i am eager for Polywell to scale up and reach / surpass the energy break-even point, so does the cost increase for hardware materials. Someone on this board mentioned that for polywell to become succesfull we should not only look at getting a bigger power output, but also lower the power input...
