High-density charge clusters

ENERGY FOR THE FUTURE HIGH-DENSITY CHARGE CLUSTERS... 

Kenneth R. Shoulders, one of the most astute experimental scientists known to this author, was the person who has discovered and reported extensively on high-density charge clusters [2], His book was written in 1987, prior to the time that the first patent applications were being filed with the U.S. Office of Patents and Trademarks. An intelligent patent attorney suggested that this technology might... 

The reader will appreciate the perceived complexity of the high-density charge clusters as suggested in the above summary. There is certainly a considerable amount of new phenomena to be explored in the further development and control of high-density charge clusters. Just as certain is the claim that no present theory or current concepts from classical physics fully explains this new discovery and it manifold experimental observations. More important discoveries are expected. 

One of the remarkable uses for high-density charge clusters (HDCCs) is to ionize selected gases, combine the positive ions with the highly negative HDCC, and accelerate the combined cluster to fractional light velocities. The following description is adapted from a paper by Jin and Fox [18]. 

The class of collective-ion accelerators can be divided into two types (1) the linear electron beam accelerators or electron ring, and the newest type, high-density charge cluster accelerators. It has been shown analytically that the HDCC accelerators can provide an electron density about 1010 times higher than the conventional collective-ion accelerator. The result is that very high collective acceleration effects are predicted to be achieved. These accelerators have broad potential applications, such as the following ...
