If I understand correctly, a charged particle beam is created by the fusion reaction in the plasmoid. The beam will exit the pinch and be directed to the solenoid, which converts the concentrated energy into electricity. I presume this will be hot, as with a lightning strike? And it will be focused into a beam which would mean a small surface area will be impacted. Can it be absorbed without damage to the solenoid, long term?
