So many RU memories flooding back. Prof's Devlin, Halpern, and Shapiro. Your magnets and cool stuff out on the back end of Livingston. This is so cool! Thank you for doing this.
Hey! I just dropped in here from the Usagi Electric community and it looks like I fell down a rabbit hole for an in-depth explanation. I'm an electronic hacker (not comfortable calling myself an engineer as I don't have formal education in the field) with a MSc in chemistry, recently a space nerd too, always learning new things and admiring the gear.

Increibles todos los videos!, trabajo hace 6 años en un ciclotron GE petTrace800 como tecnico de operacion y mantenimiento. Realmente ahora puedo decir que termino de entender claramente el funcionamiento del equipo. Un gran trabajo de divulgacion estan haciendo, felicitaciones!
Interesting and thanks. I build a very low power linear accelerator, earlier this year, and it was a lot of fun. I tracked the axial production of ionized air with my trusty Geiger Counter. The voltages that it ran off of were one or two k volts, I think. I had used a Faraday Cage with internal brushes that were running at over 1 k volts, so there you go. The initial target was a window of aluminum. I was thinking of putting a target of beryllium or titanium next to the window and then apply my counter to see if there's a change. Guess I'd have to rebuild it all. I made a couple of more, just the voltage supplies, as that seems to be the critical bit. And I really didn't think about it too much, initially. Just copying what info from Wikipedia and what I recall from High School and College Physics. Again, my thanks for the information.
Their is literally 2 much toncompartmentalize w accelerators variable calculus and the fact that at any moment all the research can be invalidated simply because u were off by 1/1.0e11 of a fraction of the actual findings. Which can be frustrating beyond belief

I always hear of the legendary cyclotrons that supply us with F18 Isotopes for pet scans but never seen them in person before

Appreciate you sharing all of the internals of this system, always enjoy this stuff!!
Thank you so much for this masterclass in science communication.
Wow, thanks Tim! Might steal some of this in future lectures. Never saw Lawrence's mechanical demo. Great stuff
I'm in my last year of highschool watching this from England for physics, this is very helpful thanks for doing it

I've seen the entire series and its awesome.....cheers!!!!
Absolutely beautiful teaching sir
Excelent material! I must have way to fill up my personal library with the same books that you have there
Tim, excellent video: thank you!
fantastic work. highly educational and stimulating. Well done and thank you sir.
STEMulating lol
Your channel is so underrated
I like the Lawrence's mechanic model al the begining.
Veruza: Daddy, Daddy I want a cyclotron too!
Daddy: Okay Wonka, how much do you want for it?
🤣
My Wonka joke aside, they've done an awesome job and I'm really wishing I could work with a cyclotron. Thank you for sharing with us! 👍
Excellent explanation. Are there radiation safety concerns when the machine is running? Thanks for the content.
Remarkable!
What is the maximum energy and beam current that it can produce?
1:22 I like the googly eyes. 👀
is the painting at 16:12 a portrait of lawrence? it's /fantastic/, but i haven't been able to find any other photos of it phone
it's actually a portrait of Professor Koeth!
How are the particles collected ?
Gloves for the LN2, dude!
After watching a video a while back making a case for using τ, every time I see the 2π keep jumping out at me... heh.
Ghostbusters going overhaul 😂😂😂
All I hear is Ray Stanz say "Well no point in worrying about it now. Switch me on.
Cyclotron ASMR.
