How Does The GHOSTBUSTERS Proton Pack Work? (Because Science w/ Kyle Hill) 

…..totally 🫠

how long ago? Between inflation and sheer scientific research that price could have decreased. Not solid, but hey...

He must not know me then

@@SadisticMindz No matter who does it, the shit would be expensive. And no, I doubt Dan knows some random on the internet.

True me too

+GuyWithAnAmazingHat That's one of the main functions of particle accelerators though. they smash particles into each other all the time. and while massive amounts of energy are released, it's only small numbers of particles colliding, so it takes place in a subatomic space. Long story short, we know exactly what happens when you fire to beams of particles at each other, and so far, it's not a blast that could obliterate a giant rampaging marshmallow man and banish an ancient sumerian god back into limbo.

Well if they cross the stream it would reverse there atoms

You would die its a acctual result of what theu show

A proton isant supossed to be used with a accelerent

+aragonaut Damn, you beat me to it.

WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!

Oh man 😂 😂 😂

+jeffrey hope Got Him!

He was saying something about going in the D, and I was thinking "Like a catheter?"

I believe they have

+NewWaveMasquerade Ooooh, that's a good topic for a future episode. ;)

+NewWaveMasquerade crossing the streams would effectively be like the collision sites at a particle accelerator. There likely wouldn't be any noticeable explosions, however a fair amount of radiation would be generated in all directions from the point that they crossed. Instant death is unlikely but radiation sickness is a possibility. I certainly wouldn't want to stand nearby.

You took the words from my mouth asking that question! All very cool

+Nick Horvath if you want radiation sickness you woun't have to cross the streams you'd just have to fire the things. the backscatter from the particles colliding with the air would throw off enough radiation to kill you in a short time (well beyond lethal doses), you could get past this by using a laser to ionise the air first to help focus the beam.... but you'd still not want to fire it in close quarters

+crwydryny then it might stand to reason that the proton stream is the "orange" one and a ionizing laser is the "Blue" lightning like stream, i mean if theres enough science to use actual words instead of making stuff up, it might be the excuse to, how the bonus features like to put it "Making it look pretty". I imagine given the way that that a cyclotron works this would end up curving and messing with the laser on a subatomic scale, giving it the crazed look it has when fired.

I'm sure Marvel can get him into tip top Thor shape

...or just... like... edit him.

+ChocoboKid yeah, they look like they could be brothers!

Nikolas Powell Nah dumbass to much cgi moony

Naw; Kyle'd spent too much time explaining how his hammer actually works than actually using it

Oh that's funny lol i just noticed that

Ghosts aren't Undead, they're dead. Or, afterdead specifically.

@@harrietr.5073 Bah, nonsense! Ghosts, ghouls, poltergeists, vampires and zombies all fall under the “undead” creature type. I did not spend years learning the rules of Pathfinder for nothing, I’ll have you know.

@@kryl0b Well, Undead as a term and creature come from D&D 1st editions Ed Greenword's writing and co-writings, such as the D&D 1st edition book, Lands Of Darkness, with Undead being able to be good or bad, but creating Undead is inherently evil, which has become flanderised to "Necromancy is inherently evil" by popular culture . It's a popular umbrella term, but I don't think it's sufficient for both Undead and the Afterliving. It's probably because Magically manipulating Life, Death, Afterlife and of course Undeath as Necromancy (unless it's biomass or flesh, since that's known as Flesh Warping in Pathfinder). But I like to specify the inbetween, like having technological machines being separate to Constructs. I just think it'd be better to clarify that ghosts aren't entities in a state of Undeath through unnatural means, usually by Necromantic Magic by using negative energies (in D&D), though it's probably a reason why the proton packs work on ghosts in Ghostbusters, assuming that ghosts are inherently negatively charged, though apparently the negative charge is mostly because of psychoactive energies instead of mystical/paramystical energies like with Necromancers. This is probably since the concept of Parapsychology has came up in the first movie, and likely is stemming from an interpretation of ghosts from a Parapsychological perspective since like xenophobic religion and science's reaction to Mesopotamia's minority Magic religion and Magic science and Magic repeating the abusive cycle by calling Psionics, Magicks, Parapsychology has a bad history of trying to explain everything supernatural via Parapsychological or psycho-acoustic phenomenon for lack of a better term. But not all umbrella terms have worked in the past, like with calling celestial bodies travellers, or as we know them, planets since astronomers and then astrophysicists realised things like stars were different to other planets, and thus called a sun, the sun and a moon, the moon after our sun 'n moon. And I think there's better terms for calling ghosts than Undead. If Fae and Elementals can be, without being called Outsiders, then can't ghosts be separated from Undead?

Fusion reactor, or weird paladium decay reactor.

Im 33 years old...Ive watched Ghostbusters thousands of times....Im very into science....HOW AM I JUST NOW REALIZING THIS!!!! [brain explodes]

Whoa what in the.... He's totally correct!!

😂 😂 😂

reniorjd Get a life

The particles (protons in this case) start their existence as hydrogen molecules in a canister (and as you may know, a hydrogen atom is a proton with an electron around it). A flow of hydrogen gas is run through a device called duoplasmatron (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duoplasmatron ) which breaks it down into protons and electrons. A positive charge is used to repel the protons out of the duoplasmatron and into the accelerator (see www.lhc-closer.es/taking_a_closer_look_at_lhc/0.proton_source )

I won't comment about the ghost part but regarding particle acceleration, the idea is simply see what happens when we speed up particles and make them collide. Usually they break up into even smaller particles ( for example protons and neutrons are actually made from quarks) this helps us to understand how matter is what it is Hope that helps

+Mohammed Aswad Didn't know subatomic particles could be broken down even further. That's interesting🤔. Thanks!

+Rami Ungar But where would they come from?

Human brains run on electric impulses, which is a type of energy. Energy cannot die or be created, so where does the energy go when you die? Perhaps it takes another form, a more ethereal one.

+Rami Ungar But really, when someone dies, the energy is still there, but it isn't used by the body anymore, including the brain. The energy will slowly dissipate, and go back into the environment, in the form of heat, among others. The brain causes consciousness, something science is scrutinising to figure out how it works. It might seem like it is inscrutable, but that doesn't make it magic. As of yet, no supernatural explanations have been shown to be better than, or even on par with, naturalistic explanations.

Perhaps that energy dissipates into a ghost as well. You never know. There are still many mysteries the universe has yet to reveal to us.

Rami Ungar Yes, there are many mysteries to uncover. However, there first has to be an evidential indication that there is a mystery. No such indication is present for ghosts, or even for a soul in the body.

+Tallacus From my limited understanding of the paranormal, I was under the impression that ghosts themselves were not energy, but needed energy to physically manifest. working with some nonsense entropy condenser to make the room colder and run their interactions on thermal energy. But that sounds like nonsense so Dunno boss.

It's simple , pour water on it

Cameron Chung could be where the Iron disrupts them idea comes from.

Accept the sin..... Accept it!!!!!!! 👻

Yup. Ghostbusters 3 has yet to exist

I like GB3

@@malachitlonborne5071 and it does lol

@@malachitlonborne5071 Till now.

youd like to think but no they would figure out their corporial frequency and do away with them. they took out a deiety ffs as in not only gozor but also the destroyer and vigo who was kinda like alma in a way. so yeah shed be toast though she would put up a good fight.

Given that steam punk is ultimately about the aestetic and such. convince enough people to express it and you are golden, or mayhaps brass as the case may be. on the topic of the large arc reactor, it seems to be a fusion reactor which is on the horizon

They're held in place with... DEEZ NUTS !!!!
