How Does the Proton Pack Work? | The History and Physics of Ghostbusters Equipment

Where would the Ghostbusters be without their iconic Proton Packs? So many have wanted to use one and built their own but is there any science behind the fiction? Strap on your packs as we travel back to what first inspired Dan Aykroyd and how instrumental these tools were even in the earliest ideas of Ghostbusters. We go through the evolution of this quintessential tool through scripts, concept art, and the final prop creation. From there, we take the in-universe physics and break down what makes up ectoplasmic entities and how subatomic particles play a part in capturing them. We break down step-by-step the process each part of the pack plays in powering and producing protons.
