See Pelletron in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: Pelletrons [plural]
Etymology: Registered trademark of the National Electrostatics Corporation (and later the Pelletron Corporation), from pellet + -tron, for the pellets in the charging chain. Etymology templates: {{suffix|en|pellet|tron}} pellet + -tron Head templates: {{en-noun}} Pelletron (plural Pelletrons)
  1. A type of electrostatic particle accelerator that builds a charge of high voltage using a charging chain of short conductive tubes called pellets connected by links made of insulating material, as opposed to using a belt or rectifier stack. Wikipedia link: Pelletron
