Direct electrical conversion may be possible if the particles could be suspended in vacuum in a magnetic field, in a chamber where the resonance frequency = the cyclotron frequency of the alphas in the magnetic field. This would essentially be a sort of magnetron that was "internally" powered, and the EM energy could then be tapped as the radius of the cycling alphas decreased while they delivered their energy to the resonant field. The distance between particles should be kept >> than the diameter of the circle that the alphas make in the field at their most energetic, to ensure that only a tiny percentage impact other particles and lose energy to heat.
