Beautifully explained- as the films taught us, all it took was confirmation of a constant in terms of ionization rate across all ectoplasmic entities for the guys to theorize streams of accelerated protons should be sufficient in attracting the negatively charged particles being fueled by psychokinetic energy; trapping the entity within the stream, polarizing it so as to prevent dispersion and to allow for rudimentary positioning to within the range of the portable laser containment field of the trap. Elementary, really.
…..totally 🫠
2:55 I thoroughly geeked out when I saw this. You can see the particle beam attenuating as the beam moves farther and farther away from the point of emission! Way too cool
Dan Akroyd said that theoretically, it's possible to build a Proton Pack that works like it does in the films and the 2009 game but it would cost around $9,000,000,000.00 to do
how long ago? Between inflation and sheer scientific research that price could have decreased. Not solid, but hey...
@@ImpetuouslyInsane Around 2008 or 2009 whenever the behind the scenes video was actually recorded
Or three house mortgages
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.
Okay, now I want to see the Mythbusters build a proton pack and test crossing the streams.
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
R.I.P. Harold Ramis/Egon :(
You make a great 5th Ghostbuster, Kyle
This guy is really, really good at explaining complicated science stuff. Like, the best I have seen on UA-cam. Absolutely loving this series.
So he called those huge magnet things Dees?
So were the fasteners that held the bolts of it in place called DEES NUTS!!!!!
Self-5 for outdated meme reference 😂
+aragonaut Damn, you beat me to it.
WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!
Oh man 😂 😂 😂
You’re the bill nye of my adulthood, thanks for all your videos!
If the current actor for Thor gets too old, call Kyle.
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
wow. so a cyclotron is just a couple of D's.. nuts
+jeffrey hope Got Him!
He was saying something about going in the D, and I was thinking "Like a catheter?"
Learning new stuff never gets old.
I've never kept such a straight face while somone said "the D" so many times in my life
+Nerdist: Have you done a video explaining the science of Magneto's powers yet?
That would so rad, and the best B-day gift EVER!!
Love the videos, keep 'em coming!
I believe they have
kyle, you one of my favorite you tubers. great charisma, natural entertainer and teacher. any UA-cam channel with you in it I'll subscribe instantly.
when Cyclops cries, does steam come out of his eyes?
.............just..........speachless. Mix of positive emotions
1:51 Hey, is that Deadpool breaking the 4th wall... AGAIN? 😁
Oh that's funny lol i just noticed that
Tugging at the feels here :( Great episode nonetheless! Always looking forward to "Because Science"
How about crossing the streams, Kyle? Would it be as catastrophic as Egon said it would and if so what are the chances of survival?
+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.
That particle was crazy for the D.
The funniest part of all of this, the reason why some of the parts of the Proton Pack were named these things was for ease of communication between prop builders on internet forums. Yes, the pack part names were named as they were not because of scientific curiosity, but because prop builders in the fan community needed to identify the part being constructed and offer help. I was at the apex of such ID discussion and even helped in some part names. Became canon by Aykroyd because... well... he knida knew how this crap worked... Kinda hard to go against Aykroyd...
You know, I want an episode on how long you can be a ghostbuster without dying of cancer now.
In the words of Cisco: "That film is surprisingly accurate."
Well, Ghostbusters cosplay is suddenly going to get even more competitive!!
If I remember rightly, in the original ghost busters they also refer to the device as a "positron glider" which is the anti-electron of course. Again should "interfere" with ghosts if they are negatively charged, however I wonder if it's protons or positrons that they shoot.
A free-floating full-torso apparition!
My favourite episode ever!
love those references, lol
You're such a dork, Kyle.
I love it.
Awesome vid, Kyle! As soon as I get done with my flux capacitor (deadline looming), I'm going to start working on a synchrotron. By the way, who's the sorry S.O.B. who has to clean the glass after it's been tagged by you?
wow science does kick ass!
best series on the internet.
8-) Be still my geeking heart! This is AMAZING! Can you do a video explaining how ghosts might work? ^_^
Of course ghosts are negatively charged! They are undead, and as we all know, undead creatures are linked to the negative energy plane. I knewreading RPG books would come in handy!
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?
Kyle, just for your remark at 1:13 I have a question for you at 1:25. Does that cyclotron have double Ds?
1:26 NUTTZ!!!
What particle would be best to insert to get this going ?
Dan Aykroyd while coming up with the protonbacks: "you know, I'm something scientist myself 😏"
Best one take ever at 1:51
Where did you get the picture show at 4:06
XD! i just saw "up next: could the matrix be powered by..." and i just filled in "...windows XP" and when I read what it actually said i burst out laughing XD
3:10 No dude, it's the Backstreet Boys who do that. It's called the Backstreet Beast. I saw it on Celebrity Deathmatch.
so, in Iron Man 2, when Tony makes an arc reactor/particle accelerator in his home, would that be a cyclotron, synchrotron, or something entirely different?
Fusion reactor, or weird paladium decay reactor.
I almost left after the joke in the beginning but good video.
Since next year there doing a Ghostbusters spin off to the original Ghostbusters in the 80's you should do an episode of the ghost trap and how it works and
I didn´t know there is another Hemsworth brother. :D
😂 😂 😂
Was I the only one giggling when he was talking about the "D" XD
R.I.P. Eagon.
did you realize the cyclotron is in the Ghostbusters logo
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!!
Sweetness!
So did they shorten the length of the streams (which I never understood why they were wavy and not straight) by lowering the power output? And instead of wrapping around the ghosts shouldn't the stream of accelerated photons ripped them apart or perforated them?
This was better then the new movie.
reniorjd Get a life
what about the science for the Psychomagnotheric (mood) slime?
i live near the fermi lab particle accelerator :P
According to the lore, PKE (Psychokinetic energy) is indeed negativity charged which is why a proton stream can immobilize ghosts to trap
No sex puns were intended in this video
7 months ago i started watching this but didn't finish it and youtube still wants me to finish. Alright youtube you win this time.
Hey @kyle hill. any advice for someone looking to get into the type of entertainment industry you are in? not the whole science stuff because i am not that smart as you are in science but other things like games,music,movies,etc.
Hey Kyle u should do a video about how we could create a tachyon matrix so we could have super speed like the flash
*DEJA VU! I HAVE WATCHED THIS CHANNEL BEFORE!*
It's pretty much a cern 666 gun that catch all the weird stuff that comes out of the cern portal.
You know what's the scariest thing about the proton packs? Venkman calls it a "positron collider", when he's taunting Slimer. Granted, he may have just been spouting gibberish that he didn't really understand himself, but a positron is a antimatter electron. O_O
I expect more of you! You forgot to put the apostrophe before the s.
1:27 he called them what
DEEZ NUTS HAH GOT EEEEEMMMM
1:14 get it XD (hint the end of the movie)
Have you addressed the function of the Neutrino Wands yet?
What about crossing the streams?
Because Science... Heroes in a half shell! Anyone else heard that? ^^"
It's not coincidence that a cyclotron drawing looks similar to the circle with the slash through it over the ghost on the cover
:D LOVE THIS GUY!
Can you please go over the half life Gluon gun and Tau cannon? That would certainly earn my subscription! Ever since I watched someone play Black Mesa recently, I can't get them out of my head. Or... maybe I should make my own mediocre video about them... But yours would be better for everyone
What would the construct of the Ghost have to be made of for the proton pack to effectively work as the weapon of choice?
How does this oscilating electric current work? It has to be synchronized to the particles position in the D. And every particle has to be in the same position as well.
egon is my favorite ghostbuster
Someone needs to kickstarter this.
I love this guy! Hahaha :D
I just realized that the star killer base from the new Star Wars movie works almost exactly like a partical excellerator
D's NUTZ!
ok I need to know how to make the desktop particle accelerator
The cyclotron looks like the 👻buster logo without the 👻
Cyclotron totally looks like Deadpool's logo.
Through the videos best sounding in this one you sometimes sound like Kermit The Fog haha
I got in trouble at school when I was asked what I want to be. I said Ghostbuster. That was the day after watching GB2 in a drive in.
Okay so I've been watching a lot of your videos lately ( and they're awesome because science ) and I suddenly wondered whether you can write backwards or you write normally then the video is flipped in editing when you're writing something. You could also be ambidextrous. But that's why I'm asking since I'll never know for sure until I ask.
I don't mean to be rude, but to be ambidextrous means you can use both of your hands equally, neither is dominant. It doesn't really have anything to do with writing backwards. Other than that I'm curious too.
RIP Egon.
so, if you fed the protons from a cyclotron into a synchrotron, how fast could you get the protons to go?
Better than the last movie!!
Now I'm curious. What exactly is accelerating particles useful for? Also, hypothetically, how do ghosts manifest and how would this capture them?
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!
The positive or negative D
wouldn't a particle in a cyclotron gain more speed if it started on the outside of the circle, gaining centrifugal force as it moved toward teh middle and its radius was reduced?
heeeey we did cyclotrons in physics a few days ago
1:27 NFL I thought he was gonna hit us with a Deez Nytz
I'm curious.. if you mixed a Tokamak and a Synchrotron together, with a large enough energy input, could you get a plasma beam to shoot out? If so, about how hot would it be on Earth or in space? :)
"In the new film..."
NOPE. NU UH. NO NEW FILM DOESN'T EXIST
Accept the sin..... Accept it!!!!!!! 👻
Yup. Ghostbusters 3 has yet to exist
I like GB3

Answer this: why does gokus hair/ just a sayin turn yellow when they go super sayin and any other level above it also?
how do you even get the particle in the first place?
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 )
What would happen if you crossed the streams?
+Victor Perez I'd assume if the streams are just fast moving protons, they'd simply curve away from each other. Or if they were moving too fast to have time to do that and they did actually end up colliding, at worst, you'd get the equivalent of a small hydrogen bomb exploding, This would be bad. But not quite as bad as they made it sound, at least for anyone not in the immediate area.
so magic. got it.
