ABSTRACT:
An electron acceleration device uses thermionic fission cells, an electromagnetic scoop coil, and/or microwaves for power. A power control junction and electron injector control and feed free electrons in packets into the acceleration components that consist of a series of either induction module units, or radio-frequency linacs module units, having quadrapole magnet units in series between the induction module units or RF linac units. The RF linac and quadrapole series are surrounded by a Klystron series. At the high speed electron exit from the device, deflector plates control the exit path of the electrons to direct the course of a craft or electrons to a work area.
