the power of a polywell is related by its size and or magnetic field. the power of a polywell is supposed to be the fifth power of the radius and the forth power of the magnetic field.

the operating conditions for the 100mw power plant are currently thought to be 1.5meters and .1 tesla magnetic field. with Magnifye 17 tesla super conducting magnets that could really improve matters.
