Summary
| Description |
English: Inside the beamtube of a electrostatic particle accelerator at the University of Pennsylvania in 1940. During operation, subatomic particles travel through the evacuated pipe at center, accelerated by a million volt electrostatic potential. The metal rings along the tube are called grading rings and serve to even out the potential along the tube, to prevent arcing. |
