Hi Folks!

Interesting and old article;

ELECTRON BULLETS DEADLY TO GERMS

Electronic bullets, fired with electricity as low as
30 volts, which can be obtained from a battery of 20
dry cells, are capable of killing at least one common
form of germ.

In a study made at the University of Cincinnati, Dr.
D.A. Wells has found that Staphylococcus albus, the
mildest of several germs that produce boils, are
destroyed by these relatively low-speed electrons,
moving at speeds of a few miles a second.

High-speed electrons driven by voltages of several
thousand have already been observed to have a
germ-killing effect.
