How would electricity be produced by the polywell?

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.
