Dr. C. L. Olson, et al., of Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico, experimented with special ion accelerators using electron beams to accelerate protons. ("Experimental Demonstration of Controlled Collective Ion Acceleration with the Ionization-Front Accelerator," Phys Rev Letters, 26 May 1986, vol 56, no 21, pp 2260-63.) The highest electron density that they were able to achieve was about 1012 to 1014 electrons per cubic centimeter. By contrast the plasma-injected charge clusters have an electron density of 1023 electrons per cubic centimeter. This is an achievement of ten order of magnitude over previous technology.
PROTON BEAM PARTICLE ACCELERATORS
It is standard physics that high-energy proton particle accelerators can produce nuclear reactions and have been proposed to transmute high-level radioactive wastes into stable elements. The problem has been that it requires a nine-million volt (or more) acceleration potential to speed up the protons to about 0.1 the speed of light.
Using the charge cluster technology, protons can be combined with a high-density electron cluster so that about one proton is picked up for every 100,000 to 1,000,000 electrons in the cluster. The combined cluster can be accelerated to about 0.1 the speed of light with about 5,000 volt potential! An important question is, "How does the density of protons using the charge cluster technology compare with the proton density in a high-voltage proton particle accelerator?" The answer is the following:
The proton density in a standard high-potential particle accelerator is about 1012 protons per cubic centimeter.
The proton density in a table-top charge cluster particle accelerator is about 1017 to 1018 protons per cubic centimeter!
Not only is the proton density larger using charge cluster technology, but the cost of the table-top proton accelerator is about 1,000 times cheaper than classical proton accelerators!
These are very important concepts to get the attention of the decision makers and their scientific advisors in the DOE. Although these figures are based on limited laboratory experiments, this technology deserves funding by the Department of Energy because it has the potential of saving taxpayers billions of dollars and possibly thousands of lives by on-site stabilization of high-level radioactive wastes.
