Cyclotron Tuner

Tune the oscillator: One turn takes the same time at every radius
Gap switched off: A magnetic force does no work
Exit energy: The biggest circle sets the top energy
Four times the energy: The radius grows as √K
Count the kicks: Two kicks a turn: K = 2NqV
Change the particle: The frequency fixes q B / m

Tune a cyclotron so a proton spirals out. Predict its exit energy.
