If left to their own devices, they would move in straight lines, soon hitting the ring's outside wall. But the ring is surrounded by magnets whose power can be varied accurately. When each bunch of electrons enters, the magnetism is just strong enough to make them move in a circle, keeping away from the ring's walls. Round and round they go, picking up energy from...
