[BackstageScience]

@huntingvuk thank you!

i regret not taking physics ;(

[BackstageScience]

@MadMacheart it's never too late!

This channel should seriously be mandatory for any science teacher to subscribe to, if for nothing else then at least to be able to bring up a selection of videos to add to their "further reading"-curriculum.

now make a molecular accelerator and put inside JUSTIN BIEBER

how wonderful it is to be talked to like an intelligent being, i didnt understand all of that, but thats okay big network tv stations, i will use my brain & ill figure it out myself

The cathode would need to be at a negative voltage for this to work.

SUPER FASCINATING ಠ_ಠ

if i take the electron gun of a crt can i make an accelerator?electron gun is used in x-ray photographs?

[butterfingers8008]

Are there any other uses for an electron gun other than particle accelerators?

[douro20]

That's a pretty far cry from the much simpler thermionic electron gun which is used in small LINACs and cathode ray tubes.
