I was looking at tubes, and I was looking at the technology.
Electronic systems...
in the 70s that were field, and they were still tube-based.
Yeah, they weren't solid-state yet.
But that had a good side and a bad side.
Solid-state's very fragile to an EMP, and tubes are not.
On the other hand, tubes wear out and need a lot of maintenance, and sometimes they get a little flaky, and they're not as reliable or as fast.
They're slow also.
So it had an upside and a downside, but the upside was the EMP didn't bother a tube much.
Just a biohack?
That's exactly what it was.
See, I was in graduate school, and I was working in experimental nuclear, low-energy experimental nuclear.
We had a big Van de Graaff particle.
It was a generator that created this really huge electric field, and you could use that electric field to accelerate particles with charges.
and so it would it was what maybe four stories tall but then not a loop accelerator yeah no it's a no it wasn't one of those uh it was this thing was tall and it created very high static electricity charges which then you have this huge positive charge up here and if you introduce electron it would accelerate it and accelerate it called low energy it wasn't the high energy the big cyclotrons you're talking about they're high energy yes
This is a lower energy, but lower energy did different physics.
Lower energies would put a particle in a nucleus and the nucleus would capture it and change.
But not fusion?
When you do high-energy physics, you hit it and blow everything apart.
This would be to capture.
