Abstract
A process and apparatus for separating element isotopes in space by imparting a velocity and direction to a body of material along a substantially linear path, heating and vaporizing the body and ionizing the material thereof as it flows along the path to produce a first stream comprising ionized material, and then using at least one aperture to separate a first portion of the ionized material having a velocity transverse to the path that exceeds a predetermined transverse velocity limit while a second portion of the ionized material passes through the aperture and can be subsequently collected.
