Some of the gas molecules roaming inside are struck by the oil particles, adhere to them, are thus escorted outside through the oil vapor exit...

When they are charged with nearly eight million volts of energy, the ions are shot against a target of light metal, usually beryllium. The bullets knock out streams of neutrons, tiny particles about the same weight as protons but carrying no electric charge...
