Hello,
This is something that's puzzled me for a while, but I haven't been able to find any conclusive answers anywhere. What I'm wondering is, how far would an electron beam (such as that found in a TV) travel in the atmosphere before it lost its kinetic energy or bonded with the air molecules?
I've heard about particle beam weapons being researched for anti-missile applications and such, so that makes me think it could potentially go quite a ways...any answers or even suggestions as to where I could look would be greatly appreciated!
