1)mechanical constructions (using standard machine tools fabricated from wood, metal, plastic, etc.)
2) electronic constructions (assembled from simple circuits, triggers, timers, logic boards, etc.)
3) high-vacuum systems (assembled from gauges, automatic valves, mechanical rough pumps, and turbo pumps),
4) high-voltage circuits (used to generate ionized plasma gases from power supplies, capacitors, and electrodes),
5) the use of software, especially python (for digital data acquisition, mathematical analysis, webpages, CAD, etc.).
