Abstract
An existing 2 MV Van de Graaff accelerator has been improved for high beam currents, and long-term stability of the machine over a wide rang e of atomic and molecular projectiles, charge states and impact energi es. Furthermore we present here some of our inexpensive yet effective designs for a SF6 recycling system with a nearly complete recovery, a terminal voltage and slit controller, a magnetic quadrupole doublet le ns plus an electronic focussing and steering unit, various high voltag e power supplies, column resistor replacements and a belt.
