Salad Bowl Accelerator - How to make

This is a video showing how to make and use a teaching model of a particle accelerator using a salad bowl, some aluminium foil and an EHT power supply

thanks mr. Dan... loved ur physics model... helped me out with my science project

Max velocity because of the max electric potential in volts supplied by the power supply. A Van der Graaf supplies more potential and so usually makes the ball move faster

[madhanadhityas.s.]

Should we use ac current or dc current ?

[discoveryourself]

Can we use balls made of aluminium foil??

Hi Dan my son wants to make one of these for a science fair. Is there a home power source you can use? Like a 9 volt battery? What is the power source you are using?

[augustejo]

What else can I use for the power source?

[shivamsahil]

why the particle attains a terminal velocity in this accelerator

[Docsthetics]

And one more question we need to use AC or DC current sir?
