Am I the only one imagining this kind of tech eventually turning into something like an electron gun. Sort-of like a real world version of the laser guns in sci-fi? I can imagine basically having a bank of these in a gun where you can shoot a burst and then it would over heat like a plasma gun in warhammer 40k, and you have to wait a bit. Or maybe you can get around this by having some kind of liquid nitrogen cooling system. Of course this could also be used in industry, as a replacement for plasma torches for example. Your only “fuel” would be electricity and you could recirculate the liquid nitrogen into some kind of condenser (compressor?) to be reused. Maybe it could even be used in propulsion in small cube satellites. Obviously right now the tech is in the very early days but these are just some things I can imagine could be possible as the technology matures.
