Dont worry, i have no intention on carrying out such a project with high risks and dangerous consequences because i honestly value my own life :), and because i have no money to spend, i can barely buy a few physics books! I think ill stick to reading and understanding the dynamics of a...
This is my first post for guidance in something like this, up until now i had been doing my own research but now it's gotten to the point where i have so many questions with which i get stressed about and have no one to answer them. My physics teacher is boring and has no interest in the...
Yeah i stumbled across this article and it was very informative on cyclotrons, and i actually got in touch with Mark Yuly, one of the professors who conducted that project and was asking him about diy cyclotrons. He was just sending me pdf files which were interesting and also livingston's work...
Yeah, i was thinking of building a computer and messing around with electronics and stuff this summer like last year, but i was also thinking of building something more to do with particle physics. I guess i can wait a few years:) Thanks anyways
No, I'm not starting now. I was planning on starting it next year. Right now I'm just going to buy some books and read up on it, especially in the summer. You're right, i don't know much about this stuff, which is why i really want to learn:)
No I'm just an excited 15 y.o. kid who likes physics and wants to learn. How much do you think a diy cyclotron would cost? I do not have any experience and have no access to any equipment tbh and the closest uni is really bad and will not have any equipment. I don't have enough money to spend on...
Thank you. Yeah, no i don't think ill afford something like that obviously, i was thinking of trying to make a cheap affordable one with minimum equipment, maybe rent some of the equipment. I was also thinking of using Americium as ion source, but someone told me that that would generate a beam...
I've been learning about cyclotrons recently and have trouble understanding how the ion source works. I have done some research and found that duoplasmatrons are some forms of ion sources but i don't think that's legit. I also found something called RF ion sources, but not sure how they work. I...
