A Proton Gun For Killing Tumors
Tumors is a swelling of a part of the body, that is caused by the abnormal growth of tissue. Some of these tumors can be stopped or decreased, but some very lethal, and can kill instantly. Now there has been a new machine made to completely eliminate tumors through a series of steps. This machine gets power from many fiber-optic cables, connected to a particle-accelerator, the size of an airplane hangar, and $100 million dollars. Expensive Huh? I'm not done yet. There is also another 13-foot particle-accelerator, that costs $30 million dollars. This massive machine was created at the Compact Particle Acceleration Corporation in Livermore, California. This can't be out commercially until 2015. This was created for the unfortunate tumor patients, and this machine is much more precise, and will not hurt surrounding tissue.
This machine is a very good decision to make (not considering the money) because of many reasons, and because of the benefit of mankind. This obviously helps patients fight through tumor, in a much pain-less manner. Like I said before, the proton beam has more precise aim, than other similar machines. In the result of the accuracy, the beam does not effect the surrounding tissue as much. This is controlled by many different systems, so if one fails, the beam doesn't stop, or decrease in power. Lastly, this is a very high-tech machine, that could symbolize the start of a new era, or generation of technology.
