==Proton Wand Usage==

FAQ: Why does the proton emitter wand kick if it projects energy, and energy isn't supposed to have recoil?

Answer: The scientific explanation is the amount of energy flowing from a constricted emitter, reacting against all mass in its way, leaping from O2 atom, kicking up in resistance against the atomic structure of the pavement, the protonic energy stream has its own charge and blasts out not unlike a lightning bolt - that's where the unusual sound of emission comes from, and it attempts to force its way along that path of least resistance, forcing the emitter to follow. That's where the recoil comes from.
