In 2002, one of the first bump stock-type devices, the Akins Accelerator invented by Bill Akins, was deemed by the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to not be a "machine gun". The Akins Accelerator used an internal spring to force the firearm forward to re-make contact with the trigger finger after the recoil of the ...
Only three Accelerator Coasters have a lap bar restraint without the over-the-shoulder harness - Xcelerator, [3] Top Thrill Dragster [4] and Formula Rossa. [5] Another notable feature is the locking system, which uses two hydraulic cylinders for redundancy (in case one fails) rather than relying on the older ratchet design.
The GR-1 uses a clamped quasi-resonant (CQR) step-up inverter described in U.S. Patent 10,811,995, [1] which allows a six-cell 25.2 volt lithium-ion polymer battery to supply up to 1000 watts of power to eight high-voltage electrolytic capacitors in approximately three seconds. [2]
Fermitron was an accelerator sketched by Enrico Fermi on a notepad in the 1940s proposing an accelerator in stable orbit around the Earth. The undulator radiation collider [7] is a design for an accelerator with a center-of-mass energy around the GUT scale. It would be light-weeks across and require the construction of a Dyson swarm around the Sun.
A linear particle accelerator (often shortened to linac) is a type of particle accelerator that accelerates charged subatomic particles or ions to a high speed by subjecting them to a series of oscillating electric potentials along a linear beamline.

This 400KeV electron accelerator was the first operational FFA accelerator. The large rectangular part on the right is the betatron transformer core. The idea of fixed-field alternating-gradient synchrotrons was developed independently in Japan by Tihiro Ohkawa , in the United States by Keith Symon , and in Russia by Andrei Kolomensky .
Simplified diagram of a multistage coilgun with three coils, a barrel, and a ferromagnetic projectile. A coilgun is a type of mass driver consisting of one or more coils used as electromagnets in the configuration of a linear motor that accelerate a ferromagnetic or conducting projectile to high velocity.
