I work with Elli occasionally and she does great science. I used to help run an accelerator, the Bevatron, in Berkeley that had this capability. Shut down in 1993 due to lack of funding. If you like really cool, big science projects I recommend checking out the wiki page for the Bevatron. The power supply for the main coil was a pair of 46 MVA motor generators. Rectified power out of the generators was 8000 volts at 6000 amps... Awesome piece of 1950's technology that resulted in several Nobel prizes in science. Good use of monkeys.
