Poor Man's Cyclotron at California Campus
BERKELEY Calif a seven million volt low cost atom smasher nicknamed swindletron is being built at the University of California. The pilot model uses a half million volt power source to produce one million volt particle beams and aims to replace larger devices like Van De Graaff generators. Dr John R Woodyard says a full size 4 million volt unit could cost 10 000 to 50 000 versus 100 000 to 200 000 for existing machines. The 6 foot tank pilot already yields new insights into electrical circuits and plastics insulation.
