In an ion thruster, electricity is used to accelerate ions out the back.

Built to accelerate heavy ions, its maximum magnetic field is 3.8 tesla, yielding a bending ability of 8 tesla-metres.

The essential working principle of the Hall thruster is that it uses an electrostatic potential to accelerate ions up to high speeds.

These designs use high voltage electrodes in order to accelerate ions with electrostatic forces.

Electrostatic ion thrusters have accelerated ions to speeds reaching 100 km/s.

They would generate the electric field needed to accelerate ions to fusion conditions.

Fusors uses a voltage drop to accelerate and collide ions, resulting in fusion.

Particle acceleration: The potential drop across the double layer will accelerate electrons and positive ions in opposite directions.

Each type accelerates ions to a particular velocity.

Ion engines use electric fields to accelerate ions to very high speeds, producing thrust.
