What these numbers are

Every number on this page is copied from the Cyclotron Builder's deterministic enumerator. It is planning-grade output, not a measurement. Costs are estimates from catalog price bands and a cost ledger calibrated once, on the reference machine; the likely spend runs higher than the point figure and the page shows both. Energies are computed from the magnet's field at the radius the beam can use. The beam current rests on a single measured anchor. Designs above 1 MeV are not detailed. Nothing here replaces a field map, a vacuum gauge or a Faraday cup, and the safety section of the full report comes before any purchase.

What does your budget buy?

Answer six things about yourself and your space. The tool searches every magnet, coil, chamber, pump and RF system it knows, keeps the designs that fit, and shows you the one with the most energy. This is the same engine as Full mode behind a shorter form; Full mode adds experiments, energy targets, parts you already own and a pin on every subsystem.

How much can you spend?

A point estimate at your buying style, below. Real spending on the reference machine ran 1.67 times its plan, and the answer shows the likely range too.

Where would it live? On a workbench the machine on its stand under 150 lb On a garage or basement floor under 1,500 lb on its stand In a room of its own no weight limit

What electrical outlet is there? An ordinary wall outlet 120 V, 15 A A dryer or range outlet 240 V, 30 A A workshop with three-phase power 208 V, 60 A Whatever it needs; I can have a circuit installed

What can you do yourself? Machine metal a lathe or mill; otherwise machining is priced as shop work Build electronics solder, read a schematic, build a circuit Weld

How will you buy parts? New catalog and distributor prices Mostly used auctions, surplus dealers, labs clearing out Hunting for bargains salvage, trades, patience

What you could do with it

Everything above comes from one run of the Cyclotron Builder on your six answers. Full mode shows the same design with its tiles, the cloud of every design that fit, the orbit tracker, the drawings and the fourteen-section report.

Planning grade, every number from the tool: costs are estimates with a range, energies are computed from the field at the usable radius, the beam current rests on one measured anchor. Read the safety section of the full report before buying anything.
