      Dear Chaps,

      It is not really a design fault; more a design improvement, with 'instrument' and personnel safety in mind. Why take the risk of a major incident if it can be designed out. Remember, nothing like this has been done before. It is an experiment, and the first (and probably) the last of its kind. The first video shows the controlled quench of a small superconducting magnet,

      the second an uncontrolled rise in pressure (magnets are often shipped cold),

      Collimators around the LHC intercept stray particles and stop beam energy from being dumped into the superconducting coils which would cause them to heat and possibly quench uncontrollably. That is why the LHC is being restricted to low particle velocities until the improvements are implemented. Here a collimator is shown being installed,

      The planned modifications are to ensure that if the magnets do quench, which is likely to happen if control of the beam is lost, they quench safely.

      Regards,
      Bob

        Did Toyota do some of the components ?

          TIG,

          You have left me with the image of the controller thinking he was revving the beam to half speed, and then finding that the throttle peddle was glued to the floor.

            Most of them actually--Since they knew this was all about excessive acceleration and collision they were hoping to call the thing to be called Prius Collider

            but . .. that didn't take. πŸ’š

            If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                he claimed his name was Eloi. .. which means he read HG Wells "the Time Machine". . .probably on his Amazon Kindle V900.2!

                Well he is from the future you know! πŸ˜†

                  If he were from the future he would of course know that he would be caught, fail and end up being ridiculed before the world was destroyed. But if the world were destroyed then how could he survive to come back ? So therefore the world wasn't destroyed, so he need not come back to try and stop it as it didn't happen... So why is he here ?????????? πŸ˜’ πŸ‘Š

                  He's clearly bonkers πŸ˜‰

                    um . .. ya think? πŸ’š

                    it was the name for me. . .Eloi. Obvious Fake. He would have been much more believable if he had chosen the name of Bilbo Mordor.

                      maybe he is come to get scientists involved in stopping and cleaning the Gulf
                      it is not only in LHC where the danger is now

                      sorry to stop the laugh folks

                        I for one would rather pay for a "Large Hadron Collider" then a Louie Vuitton bag, unless of course it was for my wife:-)

                          He was armed with baguette and Mountain Dew - obviously a deadly threat!

                            Do you think he brought any of his Alien-From-the Future-Clean-Up-the-Oil-Spill Technology to share with us Cro Magnons?

                            Or do you think he just came here to Get free tickets to Toy Story 3...
