ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic projectile accelerator apparatus and related method for accelerating an electrostatic projectile charged to a first polarity through a plurality of pairs of split plates. The pairs of split plates are alternately charged to the first polarity and a second polarity opposite the first polarity. A first ion generator neutralizes the polarity of the projectile or charges the projectile to the second polarity as the projectile passes through the first pair of split plates. A second ion generator recharges the projectile to the first polarity as the projectile passes through the second pair of split plates.
