Beautifully explained- as the films taught us, all it took was confirmation of a constant in terms of ionization rate across all ectoplasmic entities for the guys to theorize streams of accelerated protons should be sufficient in attracting the negatively charged particles being fueled by psychokinetic energy; trapping the entity within the stream, polarizing it so as to prevent dispersion and to allow for rudimentary positioning to within the range of the portable laser containment field of the trap. Elementary, really.
2:55 I thoroughly geeked out when I saw this. You can see the particle beam attenuating as the beam moves farther and farther away from the point of emission! Way too cool
Dan Akroyd said that theoretically, it's possible to build a Proton Pack that works like it does in the films and the 2009 game but it would cost around $9,000,000,000.00 to do
+GuyWithAnAmazingHat That's one of the main functions of particle accelerators though. they smash particles into each other all the time. and while massive amounts of energy are released, it's only small numbers of particles colliding, so it takes place in a subatomic space. Long story short, we know exactly what happens when you fire to beams of particles at each other, and so far, it's not a blast that could obliterate a giant rampaging marshmallow man and banish an ancient sumerian god back into limbo.
So he called those huge magnet things Dees? So were the fasteners that held the bolts of it in place called DEES NUTS!!!!! Self-5 for outdated meme reference 😂
+NewWaveMasquerade crossing the streams would effectively be like the collision sites at a particle accelerator. There likely wouldn't be any noticeable explosions, however a fair amount of radiation would be generated in all directions from the point that they crossed. Instant death is unlikely but radiation sickness is a possibility. I certainly wouldn't want to stand nearby.
+Nick Horvath if you want radiation sickness you woun't have to cross the streams you'd just have to fire the things. the backscatter from the particles colliding with the air would throw off enough radiation to kill you in a short time (well beyond lethal doses), you could get past this by using a laser to ionise the air first to help focus the beam.... but you'd still not want to fire it in close quarters
+crwydryny then it might stand to reason that the proton stream is the "orange" one and a ionizing laser is the "Blue" lightning like stream, i mean if theres enough science to use actual words instead of making stuff up, it might be the excuse to, how the bonus features like to put it "Making it look pretty". I imagine given the way that that a cyclotron works this would end up curving and messing with the laser on a subatomic scale, giving it the crazed look it has when fired.
The funniest part of all of this, the reason why some of the parts of the Proton Pack were named these things was for ease of communication between prop builders on internet forums. Yes, the pack part names were named as they were not because of scientific curiosity, but because prop builders in the fan community needed to identify the part being constructed and offer help. I was at the apex of such ID discussion and even helped in some part names. Became canon by Aykroyd because... well... he knida knew how this crap worked... Kinda hard to go against Aykroyd...

Of course ghosts are negatively charged! They are undead, and as we all know, undead creatures are linked to the negative energy plane. I knewreading RPG books would come in handy!
@@harrietr.5073 Bah, nonsense! Ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, vampires and zombies all fall under the “undead” creature type. I did not spend years learning the rules of Pathfinder for nothing, I’ll have you know.
@@kryl0b Well, Undead as a term and creature come from D&D 1st editions Ed Greenword's writing and co-writings, such as the D&D 1st edition book, Lands Of Darkness, with Undead being able to be good or bad, but creating Undead is inherently evil, which has become flanderised to "Necromancy is inherently evil" by popular culture . It's a popular umbrella term, but I don't think it's sufficient for both Undead and the Afterliving. It's probably because Magically manipulating Life, Death, Afterlife and of course Undeath as Necromancy (unless it's biomass or flesh, since that's known as Flesh Warping in Pathfinder). But I like to specify the inbetween, like having technological machines being separate to Constructs. I just think it'd be better to clarify that ghosts aren't entities in a state of Undeath through unnatural means, usually by Necromantic Magic by using negative energies (in D&D), though it's probably a reason why the proton packs work on ghosts in Ghostbusters, assuming that ghosts are inherently negatively charged, though apparently the negative charge is mostly because of psychoactive energies instead of mystical/paramystical energies like with Necromancers. This is probably since the concept of Parapsychology has came up in the first movie, and likely is stemming from an interpretation of ghosts from a Parapsychological perspective since like xenophobic religion and science's reaction to Mesopotamia's minority Magic religion and Magic science and Magic repeating the abusive cycle by calling Psionics, Magicks, Parapsychology has a bad history of trying to explain everything supernatural via Parapsychological or psycho-acoustic phenomenon for lack of a better term. But not all umbrella terms have worked in the past, like with calling celestial bodies travellers, or as we know them, planets since astronomers and then astrophysicists realised things like stars were different to other planets, and thus called a sun, the sun and a moon, the moon after our sun 'n moon. And I think there's better terms for calling ghosts than Undead. If Fae and Elementals can be, without being called Outsiders, then can't ghosts be separated from Undead?
If I remember rightly, in the original ghost busters they also refer to the device as a "positron glider" which is the anti-electron of course. Again should "interfere" with ghosts if they are negatively charged, however I wonder if it's protons or positrons that they shoot.
so, in Iron Man 2, when Tony makes an arc reactor/particle accelerator in his home, would that be a cyclotron, synchrotron, or something entirely different?
Since next year there doing a Ghostbusters spin off to the original Ghostbusters in the 80's you should do an episode of the ghost trap and how it works and
Awesome vid, Kyle! As soon as I get done with my flux capacitor (deadline looming), I'm going to start working on a synchrotron. By the way, who's the sorry S.O.B. who has to clean the glass after it's been tagged by you?
XD! i just saw "up next: could the matrix be powered by..." and i just filled in "...windows XP" and when I read what it actually said i burst out laughing XD
I won't comment about the ghost part but regarding particle acceleration, the idea is simply see what happens when we speed up particles and make them collide. Usually they break up into even smaller particles ( for example protons and neutrons are actually made from quarks) this helps us to understand how matter is what it is Hope that helps
Can you please go over the half life Gluon gun and Tau cannon? That would certainly earn my subscription! Ever since I watched someone play Black Mesa recently, I can't get them out of my head. Or... maybe I should make my own mediocre video about them... But yours would be better for everyone
well if ghosts are made of energy (don't tell me there is no such thing as ghosts I am speaking hypothetically and plus I watch too much Ghost Adventures), you just need something to disrupts that energy and pulls that energy into said ghost trap
+Tallacus From my limited understanding of the paranormal, I was under the impression that ghosts themselves were not energy, but needed energy to physically manifest. working with some nonsense entropy condenser to make the room colder and run their interactions on thermal energy. But that sounds like nonsense so Dunno boss.
You have switched synchrotron and cyclotron. The one with the "D" shaped electrodes and the particles going in a spiral trajectory is the CYNCRHOtron. So named because the period of rotation must be synchronous with the alternating electric field. It's the older of the two. With the cyclotron, the particles travel in a roughly circular path and the period is no longer constant, forcing the use of a variable frequency for the accelerating electric fields. A synchrotron can output a nearly constant beam of accelerated particles, but at a relatively low energy level. A cyclotron must go through a somewhat lengthy acceleration phase to get a particles pulse. You have to reset it before you can get another pulse. The particles can have a much larger energy level, often upward of several billion or trillions times more energy per particles. There are also the linear accelerator. Think of a souped up electron canon from a CRT monitor... Plus : Capable of delivering a constant particles beam. Minus : Low upper energy capability relative to the dimension.
A character in a novel I once read theorized that ghosts and spirits could actually be sentient beings made from microscopic particles, a sort of entity with a nucleus that's directing the particles that makes up its body. If spirits do exist--and I believe in them--and they did exist in this form, maybe they could be made of negatively charged particles.
Human brains run on electric impulses, which is a type of energy. Energy cannot die or be created, so where does the energy go when you die? Perhaps it takes another form, a more ethereal one.
+Rami Ungar But really, when someone dies, the energy is still there, but it isn't used by the body anymore, including the brain. The energy will slowly dissipate, and go back into the environment, in the form of heat, among others. The brain causes consciousness, something science is scrutinising to figure out how it works. It might seem like it is inscrutable, but that doesn't make it magic. As of yet, no supernatural explanations have been shown to be better than, or even on par with, naturalistic explanations.
Rami Ungar Yes, there are many mysteries to uncover. However, there first has to be an evidential indication that there is a mystery. No such indication is present for ghosts, or even for a soul in the body.
I actually didn’t know you could build a particle accelerator that small. Now the trick would just be curving the beam through a flexible hose and shooting it from a gun... also figuring out how not to get radiation poisoning in the process...
So did they shorten the length of the streams (which I never understood why they were wavy and not straight) by lowering the power output? And instead of wrapping around the ghosts shouldn't the stream of accelerated photons ripped them apart or perforated them?
Some theories actually say that through time space energy can travel. Quantum leap and such. The energy stamps we leave behind can travel through time. Of course this is assuming a lot. Also it would not happen from one instance but from repeated instances. So ghost are really just electromagnetic anomalies in space time. Just a theory. Theories are not considered science in all reality but just an idea.
+Nerdist I have been wondering a couple of things,one how dose Tony Starks arc reactor work and is it possible to acuitaly work as a unlimited power source. 2.what are the odds of the world turning steampunk
Given that steam punk is ultimately about the aestetic and such. convince enough people to express it and you are golden, or mayhaps brass as the case may be. on the topic of the large arc reactor, it seems to be a fusion reactor which is on the horizon
The particles (protons in this case) start their existence as hydrogen molecules in a canister (and as you may know, a hydrogen atom is a proton with an electron around it). A flow of hydrogen gas is run through a device called duoplasmatron (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duoplasmatron ) which breaks it down into protons and electrons. A positive charge is used to repel the protons out of the duoplasmatron and into the accelerator (see www.lhc-closer.es/taking_a_closer_look_at_lhc/0.proton_source )
How does this oscilating electric current work? It has to be synchronized to the particles position in the D. And every particle has to be in the same position as well.
You know what's the scariest thing about the proton packs? Venkman calls it a "positron collider", when he's taunting Slimer. Granted, he may have just been spouting gibberish that he didn't really understand himself, but a positron is a antimatter electron. O_O
What I would be concerned about is radiation. Even if you could direct everything in a coherent beam away from you, you're still going to be producing fission events in the air or whatever materials you're hitting when protons get absorbed.
Hey @kyle hill. any advice for someone looking to get into the type of entertainment industry you are in? not the whole science stuff because i am not that smart as you are in science but other things like games,music,movies,etc.
I'm curious.. if you mixed a Tokamak and a Synchrotron together, with a large enough energy input, could you get a plasma beam to shoot out? If so, about how hot would it be on Earth or in space? :)
wouldn't a particle in a cyclotron gain more speed if it started on the outside of the circle, gaining centrifugal force as it moved toward teh middle and its radius was reduced?
It may have been called a proton pack but in the movie they said it was positrons, I believe. Positrons are basically the opposite of electrons ... However I am wondering how does it store that energy?
yup positron collider was its name and the gun part was nutron wand with nuon trap to catch them in so im thinking all different tech from each other which tells me to catch a ghost is more than one science.
+Victor Perez I'd assume if the streams are just fast moving protons, they'd simply curve away from each other. Or if they were moving too fast to have time to do that and they did actually end up colliding, at worst, you'd get the equivalent of a small hydrogen bomb exploding, This would be bad. But not quite as bad as they made it sound, at least for anyone not in the immediate area.

I'd wager that Egon originally built the packs by ripping up a couple of old cathode-ray TV sets. They're basically small-scale particle accelerators.
wouldn't a particle in a cyclotron gain more speed if it started on the outside of the circle, gaining centrifugal force as it moved toward teh middle and its radius was reduced?
8-) Be still my geeking heart! This is AMAZING! Can you do a video explaining how ghosts might work? ^_^
So cool, I feel like Thor just explained how a unlicensed nuclear accelerator (proton pack) works
egon is my favorite ghostbuster
Better than the last movie!!
The 2016 film never happened.
It may have been called a proton pack but in the movie they said it was positrons, I believe. Positrons are basically the opposite of electrons ... However I am wondering how does it store that energy?
yup positron collider was its name and the gun part was nutron wand with nuon trap to catch them in so im thinking all different tech from each other which tells me to catch a ghost is more than one science.
so, if you fed the protons from a cyclotron into a synchrotron, how fast could you get the protons to go?
Have you addressed the function of the Neutrino Wands yet?
Cyclotron totally looks like Deadpool's logo.
Someone needs to kickstarter this.
What would happen if you crossed the streams?
+Victor Perez I'd assume if the streams are just fast moving protons, they'd simply curve away from each other. Or if they were moving too fast to have time to do that and they did actually end up colliding, at worst, you'd get the equivalent of a small hydrogen bomb exploding, This would be bad. But not quite as bad as they made it sound, at least for anyone not in the immediate area.
