How Can Two Electron Beams Be Manipulated to Merge and Exit on a Parallel Path?

[AuroraIndust]

I have an engineering problem that I have to solve.

Imagine that we have two electron beams, one originates from a heading of 0, coming toward point A. A line between the origin of beam 1 and point A would create a line of heading 0. Now a second beam, beam 2, originates from a heading of 45*. Such that a line between the origin of beam 2 and point A would create a line with a heading of 45*. Both of these lines converge at point A, and have to be manipulated to merge together, and exit on a path which is parallel to that of the line between the origin of beam 1, and point A.

Any ideas on how this can be done? If you cannot understand my explanation feel free to ask further questions.

Thank you

Deflect them with magnets . Could you maybe draw a picture of where the beams are , and where you want them to go .

I think what you're after is some type of collimator lens; be it optical, magnetic, etc...
Such devices take varying(though restricted) angles of incident energy and cause them to become parallel in the output.

What you describe, the way you describe it, is impossible. At point A, you will have some electrons which need to be redirected and others that will not - and no way to sort them. There are ways of solving this problem, but they are rather more complex than what you describe.

Starting construction on your homemade accelerator before you had the design issues understood was foolish. Foolishness when constructing a homemade accelerator is dangerous, and PF does not permit discussion of dangerous activities.

for your question. To manipulate the electron beams to merge together and exit on a parallel path, you will need to use a device called a beam splitter. This device is commonly used in optics and can split a single beam of light into multiple beams or merge multiple beams into a single beam.

In this case, you will need to place the beam splitter at point A where the two beams converge. The beam splitter will then split the two beams and redirect them to exit on a parallel path. The angle of the beam splitter can be adjusted to ensure that the two beams merge together and exit on a parallel path.

Another option is to use electromagnetic fields to manipulate the electron beams. By applying different strengths and directions of electromagnetic fields, you can control the movement of the electron beams and merge them together. This method requires precise control and may require advanced equipment, but it can be an effective solution.

I hope this helps with your engineering problem. If you have any further questions or need clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck with your project.
