Re: Lhc, problems arrisen 0_0 ,, what exactly happened???????

helium is used extensively in the project, to cool superconducting magnets, that makes more sense now, i mean where but at the injection site, would they have hydrogen, that perplexed me. But helium, that is a big deal, there is so much of it, and there is so much of it needed, and its so frigging cold (they use liquid to cool the magnets to 4-5K), that even a small leak would probably be pretty darn disastrous...

And yeah, the collider, though being very efficient, would still consume so much power, that they may have to shut cern down for a bit, to then have the excuse to use it. I mean i remember the first large coliders in Russia, near one of the big dams with a 6kW output hydroelectric plant... The power was powering the city of Krasnoyarsk, but when they used to power the colider, all the power was diverted from the city to the research center...

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
