h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

can anyone tell me if there is anyway of genrating 25,000 volts without the use if a power station and preferably something that is small and light. It is for a home made proton accelerator i have all the bits and put them in but now i just need the power or i will have to make the less powerful electron accelerator.

No, there is only everything!

Apparently, if you collect enough dissected limes, and twice as many copper rods, then yes. Otherwise, No.

Voltage is not a problem. Use a trasformer.

Unfortunatly, the increase in voltage will be accompanied by a corrisponding drop in current, so your power output will be the same, but it might be usefull to have the increase in voltage anyway.

Seems to me that making the proton accelerator is only half your problem. Before you can use it, you'll need a ghost trap, and of course you'll have to have the ecto-containment unit installed at home, 'cause those batteries in the ghost traps don't last very long.

Gee can't believe nobodys told you to just stand outside during a lighting storm with a metal rod.

Why is it that people don't help now a days?
