After the Schenectady case, Egon modified the potency of the packs to compensate for the prolonged surge affecting the ambient psychokinetic energy. When considering shooting the human host of the Hungry Manitou, Egon believed a weak spread would only cause short term memory loss and possible violent bowel evacuation.
The removal made the packs lighter but apparently the covers presented something of a cancer risk.
Years later, before the Schenectady case, Egon removed the cooling covers from the Proton Packs. It also had the ability to "freeze" ghosts with the flip of a blue switch. Rachel Unglighter used magic on her own versions, dubbed "Mega-Packs," that she claimed were upgraded and there was no longer a danger in crossing the streams. In 1780, Leonardo da Vinci modified Janine Melnitz' Pack then made at least three more for the rookies she hired. Peter was modeled after the Old West-era, Ray's from Arthurian times, and Egon armed his own military force with Packs. When banished by Koza'Rai to the four corners of time and space, each of the original three Ghostbusters modified and constructed their own Proton Packs.

#EXTREME GHOSTBUSTERS PROTON PACK MOVIE#
Ray's Pack in the first movie on the first bust is falsely assumed to have yellow lights in the upper part near the blue "powercell lights" (Blue light bar that flashes going up). The positive stream neutralizes their invisibility or phaseshift ability and forces them back in sync with our reality and holds them in place for capture.įrom Ghostbusters Official (Web Site) circa 2017, see Behind the Scenes in Gallery Even if a ghost becomes invisible or intangible, their negative energy still exists, though it is slightly out of phase with normal reality. The stream reacts to ghost energy and uses that energy to hold the ghost in place so it can be positioned above a Trap for capture. In practical terms, the Particle Thrower fires a stream of "positive energy" that allows a wielder to ensnare the "negative energy" of a ghost, both holding them in place and somewhat neutralizing their power. The resulting material is fed to the Particle Thrower, which is used to direct this stream of positively-charged subatomic anti-particles that are capable of caging and cancelling the energy of any negatively charged ectoplasmic entities that are held in an active stream, even if they are out of phase with reality. A cyclotron is a compact particle accelerator, which in this case is used as a positron collider, smashing together positrons (also known as anti-electrons, the positively-charged antimatter counterpart of electrons, which are negatively-charged in normal matter). The Proton Pack, also referred to as a charged particle accelerator, functions by using a miniature cyclotron. It has a hand-held wand known as a " Particle Thrower" (also known as a Proton Gun or Neutrona Wand) connected to a backpack-sized particle accelerator. The Proton Packs are special, for they are the only piece of technology in the world that has the ability to strip electrons away from protons. The power cells of the Proton Pack have a half life of 5,000 years.
The Proton Pack made the cover of the October 1984 issue of Omni. Egon has also mentioned that crossing Proton Streams will result in total protonic reversal causing all life as we know it to stop instantaneously and every molecule in a user's body to explode at the speed of light. The Proton Stream is very dangerous and barely controllable. Designed in 1984 by Egon Spengler and Ray Stantz, the Proton Pack counters the negative energy which ghosts are made of with a Proton Stream, a stream of positively charged ions which can harness a ghost.
