It involves building a cathode ray tube, the simplist kind of of particle accelerator and the same thing old TVs and computer monitors use to generate an image, with a phosphorescent screen. It could be used as a demonstration, or as a jumping-off point for further particle and plasma physics experiments. __List of equipment: __ Clear wine bottle 2-stage mechanical vacuum pump 10kV DC power source Pressure-rated epoxy misc hardware ---------- If you are interested, email me (Josh Perry) at jperry7@wisc.edu |
