To produce broad beams of high-energy reactive gas molecules it was proposed to accelerate ions from the plasma emitter by negative high voltage applied to a grid composed of parallel plates and to transform the ions into fast neutral molecules due to their collisions with the grid plates.
Keywords: accelerated ions, charge exchange collisions, high-energy molecules, pulsed beams.
