Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Hi All;
This doesn't sound good but they are now reporting that a short circuit was discovered in the SPS.

Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
You know....
I saw that on the Page 1 comments...
Talk about a technically meaningful description. SPS SHORTED OUT..
Hahahahah.....
Then later something about hooking back up mains to see if it was working..
I love that kinda stuff. Cuz thats just what happened. It makes the SPS seem very much like a normal toaster or hair dryer..

Trust me: in a few years you'll have one at home and you won't be able to imagine life without it.

OoOoo
It would be fun to have a collider at home. Syncrotron radiation is great to cook meats with I hear..

Sounds funny, but the main part of every microwaveofen was also a sinetific experiment about 50 years ago.

In fact, most of us got rid of particle accelerators in our homes already. Any CRT screen is one.

I still have 4 or more electronaccelerators in my house, 3 I use frequently, but cannot think of any protonaccelerator being there.

Looking at pictures produced by LHC's beam, I think electrons can do much better job

Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Maybe one needed a really large screent to use the LHC-beam for adisplay.
But also the ramping times of the magnets would not let me expect a real good rate of frames/second.

Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
I like tubes... They make wonderful audio gear. In fact for imaging I am a big fan of PIXEL FREE analog displays. A resolution independent display. Infinite contrast ratio. Perfect color rendering. ULTRA high frame rates. zero motion artifacts.
Hmmm.... electrons make the best display. But a good Sony HD BVM is like 200Lbs and takes up a whole desk of space... But oh my, what a picture... Nothing today even close..

Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Actually ... my comment was semi-serious. No, really!
Only I was not thinking of CRTs but of another invention by CERN that totally changed the world as we know it: the Internet! (Try to imagine your life without the Internet, email, etc. ... I'm sure I can't...)

Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Well I can... Im old enough to remember before the internet... In fact before computers were in homes...
Re: Interesting development - short circuit in SPS
Yup and I can remember people saying "It'll never catch on" and "Who'll ever use Email"

Anyone remenber the old vector display arcade games? Black & white but excellent picture and beat any CGA or EGA that time....Xymox wrote:I like tubes... They make wonderful audio gear.
