So again, my understanding is that all alpha particles have a specific activity around 5 MeV - including those generated by the fusion reaction, therefore could the same energy conversion process occur at a small scale using an alpha source instead of fusion?

I'm sure that this would fall under the catagory of a stupid question, but as I understand the theory of how this works, the electricity is generated from the alpha particles grabbing electrons and thus creating holes/current, and the positively charged collector shell slows down the alphas so that ...
