ABSTRACT:
A selected isotope of an element may be caused to acquire more energy than other isotopes by generating a plasma in a magnetic field and electrically exciting the selected isotope at its resonant frequency. Instead of exciting the desired ion by a variable magnetic field, this is effected by electrostatic excitation. A segmented anode is disposed in the plasma at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the device. Each segment of the anode has applied thereto a voltage varying at desired resonant frequency of the selected isotope so that each segment has a different alternating potential. The potential between the cathode and the anode is a steady dc potential to generate the plasma.
