About_the_electrodynamic_acceleration_of_cylinder-shaped_particles

A possibility of electrodynamic acceleration of particles from the initial zero velocity to the final velocity ten kilometeres per second the acceleration length five meters is considered. After the electrostatic preacceleration particles are accelerated at the trailing edge of the voltage pulse six megavolts, which runs along the spiral turns. Accelerated particles have the diameter six microns, and length one centimeter. Because of a pointed cone at the head the particles can move in the air almost without loss of velocity, penetrating into aluminum and water as deep as ten centimeter and water one meter respectively.
