In the cartoon series The Real Ghostbusters, the maximum power setting for the proton packs is "500,000 MHz," which possibly refers to the rate of positron collisions occurring within the pack's accelerator system. Knobs on the main stock of the proton pack can perform various functions to customize the proton stream, including adjustments for stream intensity, length, and degrees of polarization.
Draining them of their PK energy weakens them, allowing them to be captured in their portable ghost traps.Īccording to a line spoken by Egon in Ghostbusters II, each pack's energy cell has a half-life of 5,000 years. In the 2009 Ghostbusters game, Ray explains how the proton pack works early in the game the energy emitted by the proton stream helps to dissipate psychokinetic (PK) energy which ghosts use to manifest themselves. The proton stream is quite destructive to physical objects, and can cause extensive property damage. This is far different from the beam from a proton pack, which tends to undulate wildly (though it still stays within the general area at which the user is aiming). Peter Venkman refers to the proton packs in one scene as "unlicensed nuclear accelerators"), modern particle accelerators produce well collimated particle beams. While the Ghostbusters' dialogue indicates that the accelerator system operates similarly to a cyclotron (and indeed Dr. “Stantz hauls out the formidable weaponry from the back of the Ectomobile and the four men kit themselves up, buckling on their proton packs…” In the 1984 novelization of Ghostbusters the Proton Packs are mentioned, eg. Egon replies that "A proton pack is not a toy". The doorman to the Mayor's mansion also uses the term proton pack, asking the Ghostbusters if he can buy one from them for his little brother. The name proton pack is not used in the original movie at all, and is not used until the subway tunnel scene in Ghostbusters II, when Egon says that they should get their proton packs. This containment ability allows the wielder to position a ghost above a trap for capture. The beam allows a Ghostbuster to contain and hold "negatively charged ectoplasmic entities". Described in the first movie as a " positron collider", it functions by colliding high-energy positrons to generate its proton beam. Egon Spengler, is a man-portable particle accelerator system that is used to create a charged particle beam-composed of protons-that is fired by the particle thrower (also referred to as the " neutrona wand").
