i've got a little issue here, been trying and trying but can't figure out a solution, i guess it's not complicated, i just don't get it

here's the thing. I created a sphere and added normals to each point with a point SOP. Then i connected a POPNET to it and emitted a particle for each point and let it fly in the normal direction of the points. (attributes>velocity>$NX, $NY, $NZ)
Next i created a cylinder. Through the copy node i wanted to align a cylinder to each emitted particle's velocity direction. How can i achieve this?
some help would be appreciated,
thx & with the best regards,
Manu
