Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
THE METHOD OF PROVIDING A HIGH ENERGY HIGH INTENSITY BEAM OF MULTIPLY CHARGED POSITIVE IONS HAVING AN ATOMIC NUMBER OF FROM 2 TO 20, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF PROVIDING A QUANTITY OF THERMAL NEUTRAL ATOMS HAVING AN ATOMIC NUMBER OF FROM 2 TO 20, IONIZING SAID ATOMS TO POSITIVE IONS, ACCELERATING SAID IONS ACROSS A FIRST VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL TO PROVIDE A BEAM OF FAST (NON-THERMAL) IONS, THEN ADDING ELECTRONS TO SAID IONS TO PROVIDE A BEAM OF FAST (NON-THERMAL) NETURAL ATOMS DRIFTING TOWARD A FIRST TERMINAL HAVING A HIGHER POSITIVE POTENTIAL OF SEVERAL MILLION VOLTS WITH RESPECT TO A SECOND TERMINAL THAN THE POTENTIAL DIFFERECE ACROSS SAID FIRST VOLTAGE DIFFERENTIAL, THEN REMOVING MORE THAN ONE ELECTRON FROM A SIGNIFICANT FRACTION OF EACH OF SAID ATOMS AT SAID FIRST THERMINAL TO FORM MULTIPLY CHARGED POSITIVE IONS, THEN ONLY ONCE ACCELERATING SAID IONS TOWARD AND THROUGH SAID SECOND TERMINAL
