I’ve watched the animations for the collapsing plasmoid and they show a positive beam traveling in one direction and a negative beam traveling in the opposite direction. There has been discussion about using energy recovery coils for the positive beam. Can’t coils also be used for the negative beam?

As I understand it the negative beam is supposed to expend its energy on the plasmoid that created it… heating it even further and thus increasing the fusion yield and the positive beam output,.. so it would already be increasing the electrical output in an indirect manner.

Right, Zap. The negative beam is shown for completeness, even though its circuit is virtual- it heats the plasma even further. The problem illustrating it is that you have to show that ion stream being balanced by an electron beam in order to be believable to scientists. Of course that’s at odds with illustrating how the theory says it works…
