A sterilization device has been disclosed. The sterilization device comprises a toroidal housing having an outer wall, an inner wall, and a central cavity to receive an object to be sterilized. The toroidal housing comprises a thermionic cathode to release primary electrons, an anode grid to attract and accelerate the primary electrons to obtain accelerated primary electrons, and an anode wire to pull additional electrons released from a gas plasma discharge within the toroidal housing. The anode wire may accelerate the additional electrons and the accelerated primary electrons to create a spray of accelerated electrons that may be released through the inner wall. The spray of accelerated electrons may collide with the object to sterilize the object.
