“If” they did make actual, somewhat realistic electrical plans for the proton packs for Ghostbusters - wouldnt it be cool to see how everything was supposed to work? and i dont mean just the lights & sounds either. i mean if they really did have to perform the functions that they produced in the film. same goes for all other pieces of Ghostbusting equipment that the Ghostbusters had. Tha'd i would like to see, and definately build! who knows, it might do something really cool or something extremly dangerous.
im gone.

I have plans that make a Particle Pack, the sposed real life proton pack, i'll dig em up and post em. I dont know if they work though.

I sat around once and figured it out (or how I think it should work) and could describe it if you'd like! It's very detailed and only ghostheads who know all the parts by name can understand it. But just say so if you want me to explain!

Sounds cool!!

Can you post your explanation on the pack?

If the ghostbusting equipment could work, yeah it would be cool. But in order for a pack to work, it would need nuclear material. Which isn't exactly found in major department stores. Unless you go to Russia (considering the fact you could buy half the country with pocket change).

If you've noticed, ninety percent of what the Ghostbusters say in GB and GB2 is made up, or has nothing to do with anything remotely possible. For instance…Psychomagnetheric. I think the proton packs are a fantasy, as a small plastic tube could NEVER control that much force…nuclear accelerators? Lol.

Ok… here goes. This explanation is written like this- If they worked as they look, this is how it should work.

First- The power cells hold a certain amount of a radioactive element with the highest proton count, which I think is either Uranium or plutoium. The atoms go through the injectors into the Cyclotron. The Ion knob ionizes the atoms into protons, neutrons and electrons. They circle in paths because of set magnetic charges around the cycotron and synch. generator. The neutrons, being useless, are filtered out using, you guessed it, the N-Filter (gee, what could N stand for. I highly doubt it's neutron… hehe). the majority of the electrons go directly from the cyclotron to the PPD and on to the HGA, where compressed, cold hydrogen condenses the ions passing through to a visible beam. The protons pass from the cyclotron to the Synch. Gen. up to the vac. pump and gear box assembly where they get some of the extra Ions removed. From there the stream goes to the EDA and Booster, where some spare electrons are dissipated with static charges and the booster accelerates the beam. The Ion Arm is the final stage of filtering, where another ionization source splits and left full molecules and sends them down to the PPD where they follow the course of the electrons. The only problem I can't figure is how the beam goes from the HGA to the gun, aside of to through the beam line to a hidden pathway to the gun hose, possibly INSIDE the synch. gen. The gun is just a big gateway for the stream…

Now, the stream is this-

The orange center beam is the protons, the blow arcs are called electron arcs and the purple charges going in opposite direction of the stream are harmless electron charges in the beam and taken in from the atmosphere and the ghost.

I hope that this clarifies things and is remembered for time to come, because I don't want to write it again!!

I stand by my Lol.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
