** Physics-John Douglas Cockcroft, Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton

A common type of voltage multiplier used in high-energy physics is the Cockcroft – Walton generator ( which was designed by John Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton for a particle accelerator, for use in research that won them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1951 ).

It was named after the British and Irish physicists John Douglas Cockcroft and Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton, who in 1932 used this circuit design to power their particle accelerator, performing the first artificial nuclear disintegration in history.

Szilárd knew of chemical chain reactions, and he had been reading about an energy-producing nuclear reaction involving high-energy protons bombarding lithium, demonstrated by John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton, in 1932.

Similarly, diodes are also used in Cockcroft – Walton voltage multipliers to convert AC into higher DC voltages.

George Cockcroft ( born November 15, 1932 ) is an American author who writes under the pen name Luke Rhinehart.

George Cockcroft was born in the United States, son of an engineer and a civil servant.

Cockcroft started experimenting with dice a long time before writing The Dice Man, but this made progress on the novel rather slow.

In all his books, Cockcroft focuses attention on only a few characters — typically fewer than five.

Cockcroft has written a number of screenplays himself, including one on The Dice Man, and WHIM, in an effort to accelerate the process, and both projects are being pushed forward on several fronts.

Several pieces of aleatory art have been partially inspired by the writings of George Cockcroft.

The Dice Man is a novel published in 1971 by George Cockcroft under the pen name Luke Rhinehart and tells the story of a psychiatrist who begins making life decisions based on the casting of dice.

Cockcroft wrote the book based on his own experiences of using dice to make decisions while studying psychology.

The Search for the Dice Man was written by George Cockcroft under the pen name Luke Rhinehart.

Other books by George Cockcroft with the same themes: The Dice Man, Adventures of Wim, The Book of the Die.

Adventures of Wim or Whim is a book by George Cockcroft, written under the pen name Luke Rhinehart.

Long Voyage Back was written by George Cockcroft under the pen name of Luke Rhinehart.

The method of common sense espoused by such philosophers as Thomas Reid and G. E. Moore points out that whenever we investigate anything at all, whenever we start thinking about some subject, we have to make assumptions.
