Review of Gas Dynamic RF-Only Funnel Technique for Low-Energy and High-Quality Ion Beam Extraction into a Vacuum
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
I would have liked to see the gas jet in this figure 1. There is a sentence in the General Description section, I would also have liked to see how these energy spreads and emittances, for this ion source compare to conventional sources, e.g. RF, duoplasmatrons, liquid metal ion sources, ...

There are a lot of examples where a word is in the wrong position of the sentence and the improper use or omission of articles in this paper. But this is not affecting the readability and I suggest just making the edits I have indicated in comments in the MS.

Reviewer 2 Report
The article is devoted to an overview of the modern techniques for ion beams extraction into vacuum. A detailed analysis of the design of the elements of the RF-only funnels was carried out and Monte-Carlo simulations of the gas flow was carried out. I recommend to publish this manuscript in its present form after the check of some misspellings, i.e. "vaccum" on p.6, "blation" on p.13, "Figur 22" and others.
