Open Source Electron Gun

Basics

• Part of the Open Source Particle Beam Construction Set
• A simple electron accelerator that produces a precise electron beam
• Used in CRTs, and High Powered Elecron Devices such as Electron Beam Welders, or Various Electron Beam 3D Printers such as EBM devices

Industry Standards

• Arcam Sepectra-H This is a flagship model and it has a 6KW electron gun so that gives us a high end wattage

Existing Open Source Designs

• Small Lab Demonstration ~ KW by the Youtube Channel "Gooferking Science" Not exactlly the cleanest design or video, but it is DIY rather than a Lab Grade Glassware Crookes Tube

Development Plan

• Start by making a lab grade model
• Attempt "overclocking" it
• See what it's breaking point is
• Reconviiene afterwards and plan from there
