Apparatus for producing charged particles

Claim 1

IN COMBINATION FOR OBTAINING A CONTROLLED PRODUCTION OF A CHARGED PARTICLES FROM A PLURALITY OF MOLECULES OF A GAS, FIRST ELECTRODE MEANS FOR OBTAINING A MOVEMENT OF CHARGED PARTICLES TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE FIRST ELECTRODE MEANS; SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS FOR OBTAINING A MOVEMENT OF CHARGED PARTICLES TOWARD AND AWAY FROM THE SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS; THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS BEING DISPLACED FROM EACH OTHER IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTION AND BEING CONSTRUCTED TO PRODUCE FORCES ON THE CHARGED PARTICLES, UPON THE INTRODUCTION OF A VOLTAGE TO THE ELECTRODE MEANS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF A VOLTAGAE TO THE ELECTRODE MEANS, IN A DIRECTION FOR OBTAINING A MOVEMENT OF CHARGED PARTICLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE MEANS AND FOR CONCENTRATING THE CHARGED PARTICLES DURING THE MOVEMENT OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE MEANS; MEANS OPERATIVELY COUPLED TO FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS FOR INTRODUCING ALTERNATING VOLTAGES TO THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS IN AN OPPOSING PHASE RELATIONSHIP TO PRODUCE A FIRST FORCE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE MEANS FOR OBTAINING A MOVEMENT OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS AT A FREQUENCY DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FREQUENCY OF THE ALTERNATING VOLTAGE AND FOR OBTAINING AN OSCILLATORY MOVEMENT OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES AT THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS BETWEEN EACH MOVEMENT OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES AND FOR OBTAINING THE IONIZATION OF MOLECULES OF GAS BY THE CHARGED PARTICLES DURING THE MOVEMENTS OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES; MEANS IN THE PLACED FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS IN THE PARTICULAR DIRECTION FOR PRODUCING A SECOND FORCE ON THE CHARGED PARTICLES IN COOPERATION WITH THE FIRST FORCE TO OBTAIN A CONCENTRATION OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES DURING THE MOVEMENT OF THE CHARGED PARTICLES BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE MEANS; AND MEANS FOR INTRODUCING THE PLURALITY OF MOLECULES OF A GAS INTO THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODE MEANS.
