METHOD FOR ELECTROSTATIC ACCELERATION OF MACROPARTICLES Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H05H5/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: iron atoms are first included among macroparticles which are pieces of a tungsten wire with a conical head in amount of 3.3% of the number of tungsten atoms; the macroparticles are pre-magnetised along the longitudinal axis and a magnetic dipole is thus obtained. The macroparticles are covered with platinum and passivated with oxygen to create a surface barrier which prevents leakage of electrons from the macroparticles. From the feed magazine, pieces of tungsten wire are aligned in space such that their longitudinal axis coincides with the axis of acceleration and then pre-accelerated. The pieces of wire are irradiated with a beam of electrons. All electrons are absorbed in tungsten. Further, a high-voltage pulse with voltage U_acc=210 kV is applied onto the accelerating tube and the macroparticles are finally accelerated with an electrostatic field to velocity V₀=3 km/s. The macroparticles are released into the atmosphere through three buffer cavities, each having its own separate pumping.

EFFECT: increase in charge transferred by a macroparticle, high rate of energy intake, high depth of penetration of the macroparticles into the substance.
