Theoretical final velocities for various particle types, charged to the Rayleigh limit, accelerated through 100 kV and 3 MV potentials. Electrospray-charged particles can be accelerated to hypervelocity speeds, even with a modest 100 kV accelertion potential. Note that the final velocities of olivine and chondrite microparticles are indistinguishable in this graph due to their similar densities.
