Homemade Cyclotron

"TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"

I was trying to build this back in 1979 in middle school. I blew a breaker in my house. I'd love to see a description of the project.

Come on! We want to see it go faster and faster until it self-destructs!

How to annoy your entire family and drive the cats insane all night long.

Do that with super cooled Mercury superfluid and it'll really take off.

Alternative title: DIY particle accelerator

That could run your heart for 50 lifetimes

Now let's take the cyclotron, put a track splitter on it, so you can divert the ball to a straight track and use it as a long range rifle.

I love this is the one YouTube video that actually shows the thing plugged in and does not try to trick you that it's free energy

[fabolusgigatabolus]

As long as I don’t have to pay electricity bill for this, I’ll make it

You too can have a mini version of the "Large Hadron Collider" in your house 😂

If he used micro controller to compensate for
flux hysteresis from the inductance which increases with freq then would go much faster

[TonyCasamassima]

That is one of the most badass things I've ever seen.

Nice job it's basically a rail gun

В школе такой делали, радиокружок был, четкий физик Василий Андреевич. Раскрутили шарик, до такой скорости, запах пластика сначала появился.делали из гимнастического обруча. А потом он вылетел на такой скорости. Благо мимо всех!

I think it is the same idea used in Particle Accelerators, isn't it? Except they have a route for each particle and the particles move in an opposing direction to the other, and then put them in the same route to collide.

[Chaotic]

Nice you just gave me an idea how to make an anti gravity ball that maybe be able to fly if I do it right.

[shahabali]

A very good way to make the students understand the concept of cyclotron.

[tridsonline]

👍🏻 Very cool!
Are those little flashes only reflections of light as the balls pass by? Or are they clever indicators of when each coil is activated?

[Zen_Power]

Create an exit after it reaches max velocity and collide it with another marble going the opposite direction and you have created a SHC to discover new particles
