I've attached a picture of an ion accelerator design I just though of.
The power source can be any constant DC supply; the voltage X would only be limited by the breakdown voltage of the gap at a given pressure.
The pairs of plates are close enough together and large enough that the E field outside a pair of plates is near negligible.
The number of plates is arbitrary; I just chose to draw 5
Would this be an effective design? Would it work at all?
