Cyclotron Proton Pack; 1984 Mk 1.5

The Proton Pack is a standard piece of particle accelerating machinery created by Egon Spengler and used by the Ghostbusters. It is our primary tool for “busting” ghosts. It has a hand-held thrower (AKA “Neutrona Wand”) connected to a backpack-sized cyclotron.  The Proton Pack fires a ‘semi-controlled’ stream of protons that neutralizes the negatively charged electromagnetic radiation of a ghost allowing it to be held in the active stream.

Zeddemore Industries Prototype Proton Pack (AL21-FE24-X)

In 2021, Winston assigned Ian Gendel to the team to study the modifications Egon made to his pack while exiled in Oklahoma. Their goal was to create a new upgraded pack they could sell to all the new franchises. This is one of Ian’s final prototype’s before leaving GB Engineering and joining Ghostbusters – New Jersey. Ian was having trouble engaging the wand’s upgraded stream amplifier and the new energy isolator on the pack. Bill and Ian work tirelessly for weeks on end, but finally they got it working, and pack efficiency was increased 23% while the beam strength was increased an impressive 63%.

Synchrotron Proton Pack; 2016 Mk 3.1

In 2016 Dr. Jillian Holtzmann, attempted to redesign the standard proton pack which has remained mostly unchanged since 1984.   She replaced the outdated cyclotron with a cutting edge synchrotron to produce the particle punch to capture any specter we encounter.  Synchrotrons generate a ton of heat and require a cryo- cooling system which is located in the black box at the bottom of the pack.  To eliminate the need for the operator to be required to wear a EMP grounding collar, Dr. Holtzmann added a “freaking faraday cage”.

Psychomagnotheric Slime Charger; 1989 Mk 1

The Psychomagnotheric Slime Charger A.K.A. the Slime Blower is a Ghostbusting tool first introduced in 1989 during the Vigo Incident. They were utilized by Winston Zeddemore and Ray Stantz to “animate” the Statute of Liberty in an attempt to generate enough good vibes to neutralize a negatively charged slime wall.

The Slime Blowers are used to spray positively charged Psychomagnotheric Slime. It can directly break the hold a spirit has on this plane effectively neutralizing a possession.

Ecto-Charger Pack; 1990 Mk 2

Ready! Set! Slime ’em! Ghostbusters wear this special backpack to get rid of bad feelings and ghostly activity in your neighborhood. Originally created in 1990 as a way to miniaturize the gargantuan slime blower. Andrew Gant built this version that GBNJ employees. Like most things Andrew builds he found a way to somehow make it heaver than the original slime blower while maintaining the smaller profile.

Muon Ghost Trap; 1989/2021 Mk 2

The Muon Ghost Trap, or just Trap is a sealed container that allows the Ghostbusters to transport the spirits to the Containment Unit, where they would be released into the grid. Once a trap has captured a ghost and has closed, it cannot be re-opened without releasing the ghost contained within. For this reason, the Ghostbusters must each carry several traps. When a captured ghost is put into the Containment Unit, the entity is pumped out of the trap cartridge so it can be used again.
