I've been working on modifying the cyclotron particle accelerator. Tell me what you think?
It's pretty basic though

  • Handwritten notes in ink on lined paper sketching looped particle paths with arrows, a figure-eight shape, and a bowtie-shaped coil labelled electromagnet, with annotations about magnetic pulses, torque, weight reduction, stopping particles and mass-energy acceleration.

  • Handwritten sketch on lined paper of a spiral coil at top, a ring with arrows around its rim below it joined by a short connector, labelled 'Ring Rotates', with a sun-like symbol and text 'Magnetic pulse is adjusted to prevent wall collision when ring is stopped'.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

Your pictures are unreadable. Plus, what is wrong with existing cyclotron designs? What aspect would you want to improve?

Physics just doesn't say "what goes up must come down". It must also say where and when it comes down.

Your "modified" cyclotron is nothing more than a drawing. There are people on here that don't just draw such things. They actually are physicists and engineers in accelerator science. So if you want to impress them, then you need to not only understand the physics, but also to show quantitative analysis of what you are doing, especially if you claim to have made a modification to something that is well-known.

And has berkeman has said, what exactly did you do that is different, and why is it important/interesting? What does it do that the old design can't do, or something that can't be done with other existing design or facilities?
