In one embodiment, systems and methods include an electrospray device for atomizing fluids comprising a body defining a resonant microwave cavity, wherein the body comprises a radio frequency inlet configured to inject a radio frequency signal received from a power source into the resonant microwave cavity, wherein the resonant microwave cavity is configured to to amplify a voltage of the radio frequency signal. The device further comprises a field concentrating pole disposed within the resonant microwave cavity configured to concentrate the amplified voltage at a first end of the field concentrating pole to form an electric field. The device further comprises a nozzle disposed at the first end of the field concentrating pole and a fluid supply line configured to provide a fluid disposed within the field concentrating pole and fluidly connected to the nozzle, wherein the fluid supply line is fluidly connected to a fluid source.
