I assume they are using a cyclotron accelerator.
Basically its a large disk with a spiral track on the inside. The disk is then oscillated in along its flat plane, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPLzsRojo_A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPLzsRojo_A
There was a video of a marble cyclotron, that basically had a spiral like the above, but instead of tilting, the whole disk moved along the z axis (as we look at it, x up, y left and right) it was about 1 meter wide, and was oscillating at about 2hz, that was capable of ejecting marble sized objects at about 500 mph or something similar.
So I can see the method, but I doubt how payloads will survive that level of G.
