Inside the linear accelerator (2/5)

[mostafasuroor180]

very nice and simlpe explanation

[jhamien920]

Wow. The one who invented this is very brilliant! A genius!

[emeelful]

Thanks a lot und GOD BLESS YOU Mr. Andrew Doggart:-)



[tanx54]

NORTHERN IRELAND ACCENT.

[mogseymoo]

Andrew Doggart is a physicist working in the Royal Berkshire Cancer Centre in reading- I know that as I work with him :)

[suze816]

Interesting...

I was also trying to identify his accent. I was thinking maybe Scottish but he's obviously been in the US for awhile and the non-US accent only surfaces here and there. Wonder if he was a company Rep. ?

[douro20]

Magnetron...Varian uses klystrons.

[omghai2u]

micro wave pulses???? microwaves are not living silly scientist!

[BarneySaysHi]

What different is the magnetron from the household one or even the radar one?

[douro20]

What is the typical operating lifetime of one of these?

[MrDaldagnuur]

Interesting. tnx for upload )

[Tenoch1957]

excelent demostration

[stuartindigo]

This machine looks like a 1995-1997 vintage SL15 when the company was still Philips Medical Systems - Radiotherapy (the give aways are the Philips serial number labels near the gun and the lack of EMC shielding on the gantry) - it was later bought by Elekta.

Did anyone else notice that the Magnetron he showed on the couch was for a different type of machine (SL75/5)?

[Interminal1]

Pardon me for that question: and what?

[Sanosuke004]

It's a linear accelerator. It increases the energy of the x Ray beam to the point when it's aimed at the cancer it burns a portion of it away by killing the DNA in the cells that are cancerous only. Thus is why you must have a radiologist operate the machine.

[sturmstug]

You need AFC:s with these small ones?

Or Manual to stable frequency changes caused by temperature and expanding?

[01467603]

some use klystrons. also some use 270deg bending magnets.

[redrightbear]

This looks like a late 1970's unit. Does anyone recognise the brand and model ?

[tylerdaleman]

an older ELEKTA machine

[BarriosGroupie]

@redrightbear Elektra make this model

[revosse]

Good Job done Sir, but its a slalom bending (tripple magnet) and not 90 degree bending.

[drchessman]

did you mean deccelerating cavities in the magnatron instead of accelerating?

[vimanyu]

u ve explained the things pretty well sir. gud job

[kolilpLOL]

uuuurrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm  *drool*

[redghost105]

what does this thing do?

[eric399]

its an xray machine

[utsavman47]

☻/

he clearly said X-ray

[SourProductions0]

accelerated DIARRRN..

[kylersrgv]

linear accelerator... come on.... that belfaster has spent his years makin pipe bombs while watchin university challenge! some big piece of equipment tho eh..... NOW THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

[01patel]

But if you find the intergration to the proportion of the neutrons, then this is physcailly impossible because the decepticons will be coming to get optimal prime :'(!!!

[hwangson]

Thats what she said.

[kylersrgv]

hahaha i thought that was Al Bundy! not some bloke from n.ireland! sounds like a north belfaster to me....

[antiego1]

Hehe, it does to me as well.

[andrewbobbin]

man stumbled upon this after looking at weed growing ideas...how the hell did i end up here?. and why did i watch it? lol

[ChrisArnol9010]

xD i got here from mind tricks :S

[heHASaPOINT]

ditto

[boxingking7]

same lol

[ReneeNme]

I can do what they are attempting with a match box, two needles and a wad of pre ~ chewed bubble gum. It has to be Bubbalicious.

[biglad234]

he,s irish u bruke !

[Chud37]

Well thats a particle accelerator. I guess linear only goes in a straight line as opposed to a circle and therefore they arn't able to gather enough speed for it to be able to do that much.

I just looked it up and i was right, as he implies its kinda just an x-ray machine. However you can get linear accelerators that stretch for 2km (stanford) that get crazy speeds going.

Although nothing really matches the LHC. :) Bo!

[RougeWaterPoloPlayer]

SLAC

[oBAILEYSo]

na, the LHC is the crem de la crem of particle accelerators, i means its in two countries. like you said, Bo!

[sslego]

could of sworn he said high tech kibble

[xxDooMKaiseRDragoNxx]

LOL looks like giant lipstick

[gillygilly250]

wow.. how boring

[FuryzPKz]

Why Did You Watch it?

[eXPerienceyeah]

Scottish, lol. He sounds about as Scottish as a Welsh man.

[roflchops13]

What the hell is linear accelerator

[tychondrias]

it is that big thing which they said could recreate the big bang an destroy everything

[aqualarion]

Umm... no. Its an x-ray machine. The thing your thinking of is possibly the Large Hadron Collider?

[peachy901]

that was a partical accelerator

[dunnobutwayne]

an xray machine

[punkfromthestart]

naa he just has a Scottish ascent

[ghostguy2k7]

irish i should know -_-

[AdventureStudying]

Sound like an Irish or Scottish area of the world accent. He's a man of the north.

[boardluva108]

great video. do you know what accent he has?

[goatslayerwp]

Sounds a little Irish to me.

[tehsma]

great video!
