    Undergrad Designing a resonance tube with a defined ambient wind speed

    Do you know what Q, the "Air consumption rate" might be referring to? I don't see where any air is being "consumed". I can find the pressure of the air at the open end of the cylinder, and I know the pressure at the bottom of the cylinder. Assuming I know those and several other things I...

    Undergrad Designing a resonance tube with a defined ambient wind speed

    Hello, As we know, when you blow over the neck of a bottle, it resonates at a certain frequency. I want to build a cylinder that will resonate at a certain wind speed: 4 mph or about 1.78 m/s I definitely know how to find the resonant frequency of a cylinder. However, I'm not sure what...

    Graduate How Can Two Electron Beams Be Manipulated to Merge and Exit on a Parallel Path?

    I have an engineering problem that I have to solve. Imagine that we have two electron beams, one originates from a heading of 0, coming toward point A. A line between the origin of beam 1 and point A would create a line of heading 0. Now a second beam, beam 2, originates from a heading of...

    Simple Electron Guns - Sources & Vacuum Storage Solutions

    The only supplier of them that I found was Kimball Physics, however those seem to be more complicated and advanced guns, which are most likely out of my ~500$ price range. I haven't received a quote from them as of now.

    Simple Electron Guns - Sources & Vacuum Storage Solutions

    Does anyone know of a good source for small electron guns? Just a simple one. I was using a TV CRT gun but the filaments don't last when exposed to atmosphere. I obviously operate under vacuum but I have no way to store my device in a vacuum for a long period.

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    Don't judge so quickly, this is just a forum, you have nowhere near the data to infer that about this experiment.

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    I have radiation shields attenuating the x-rays to 0.2%. and I've achieved 0.8 Pascals with the PVC already, any suggestions about better piping/tubing would be appreciated though!

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    The PVC already sustains a 0.8Pa environment(in a different design), I just need to make connectors for this setup. And there already Helmholtz Coils in there, that are controlled by variable power supplies, at every 45* bend. Each coil's geometry can curve up to 60*.

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    In June 2011(after the ISEF) I will have EVERYTHING made available to the public, schematics, parts lists, video tutorials, diagrams, and a 20 page paper on how to build it and how it works.

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    Thanks for the link update. 1.3MeV is the current energy.

    Is this the largest homemade accelerator ever built?

    Here's a video of my homemade electron accelerator, named the Aurora Accelerator. To the best of my knowledge it is the largest homemade accelerator ever built. Check it out, and comment! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dc7STQht08&feature=youtube_gdata_player
