Quadrupole Ion Trap
thingiverse
These files contain the design for an open source 3D printable quadrupole ion trap capable of trapping Lycopodium powder. The quadrupole ion trap operates using a 3 kV, 50Hz alternating current power supply and utilizes an astable multivibrator circuit to illuminate spores, employing the stroboscopic effect to display their movement. This device can be used in teaching laboratories to enhance students' understanding of electric fields. It may also interest science centers as a functional model of an anti-matter trap. To build the quadrupole ion trap, electronic components are necessary. All these electronic components can be obtained online for less than 50 Euros. The full shopping list and required equipment can be found in the DIY instruction manual. DIY manuals, student worksheets, and teacher materials, along with STL files for 3D printing and modifiable design files (F3D Fusion 360 files), are available on Zenodo (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.1251786) https://zenodo.org/record/1435244#.W8Gz0fl9iUl Please note that the quadrupole ion trap is covered by a CERN Open Hardware License, and the license files are included.
