Abstract
A high energy discharge apparatus uses a generally electron transparent thin foil anode of various configuration which is arranged parallel to and spaced apart between a pair of cathodes, and energized to create a potential difference between the anodes and cathodes causing electrons to be reflected back and forth through the foil anode with the concurrent discharge of ions being accelerated to the cathode.
