nice!, what kind of vacuum pump did you use? only an 2 stage or also a secondary pump?

[clagwell]

@teslafredde Just a standard 2 stage HVAC pump. To be specific, a Ritchie Yellowjacket.

Where is Homemade Particle Accelerator #3?

[clagwell]

@13baldjj The day job has been keeping me busy lately. I plan on one other CRT related video before I attack Part 3 of the accelerator. I guess if I scaled it down from six to three stages I could put together a quick proof-of-concept model. Cant do much with three stages though...

[ShinobuHarvester]

I haven't watched all of your videos. Of those I have seen the music you chose to go with the content is a bit...well...

Are you a super-villain?

[MrSciencetificsasuke]

isn't that a tiny bit dangerous?

[Garamiah]

The music is definitely appropriate. Nice work.

Also what is the metal coiling going around it?

[butterfingers8008]

How long did it take you to make it and how much money did you spent buying parts?

[lawgarc]

Wow amazing, do you have pplans for building this device?

Good ! Can you "Whip up" a 15GP22 CRT for a 1954 RCA CT-100, the 1st color set ? There are a whole bunch of guys who have them who'd hug yr neck..They have a CRT that gets leaky after 56 years & goes bad, & can't be repaired...(grin)

Excellent work!
