The problem of sustaining a colliding ion beam process for advanced-fuel fusion power generation is considered. In order to overcome the space charge limit on the beam density, a concept based on a neutralized ion-electron beam is introduced.

A device with fairly novel features is described and preliminary design considerations for a basic neutralized beam experiment are outlined.
