Definitions

  • the gas separation apparatus 10 includes a gas container 17 for storing an input target gas 32.
  • a separation or irradiation chamber 12 having a rotary member or core 1 with fluid stabilizing partitions 14 receives the target gas 32.
  • Electrons e " emitted from the electron beam emitter 6 in an electron beam are directed into the irradiation chamber 12 through electron beam emitter exit window foil 42 and break the target gas 32 into fragment ions of disparate masses consisting of larger and smaller mass constituent molecular components which are then separated in the irradiation chamber 12.
  • a collection reservoir or container unit 33 collects the smaller mass constituent components 34 and a collector unit 18 collects a portion of the larger mass constituent components 30, for example, carbon (C), filtered by a filter in collector unit 18.
  • the chemical properties of the input target gas 32 and the energy and number of incident electrons e " will determine the mass and charge of the fragment ions or constituent components.
  • fragment ions that are not fully atomized will typically be at least about twelve or thirteen times as massive or greater in mass as the hydrogen.
  • ions formed at the edge of the electron cloud 64 can be drawn back to the designated cyclic starting position by the attraction pulses. It is possible that target gas 32 molecules may diffuse through the electron cloud 64 without ionizing and continue to diffuse to the right wall or region 56. Ionization and cyclic displacement can overcome the less predictable effects of diffusion and interspecies interaction.
