So, if i got it right, you put power in to spin the emitter and you are assuming that the thermal electrons would have enough energy to fly away?That would be the basic principle?
In that case the idea is not so new and has been researched a while ago.

Your backers may wonder why you run a web site with Mickey Mouse effects that require
special software much used by advertisers, and therefore loathed.
