50,000 dollars to get that working again

You break it? You pay $1.5 million

I will ASSUME that this is either an MRI about to be decommissioned and taken apart, because these things cost a BUTTLOAD, it's the single most expensive piece of equipment in an imaging department, if not the entire hospital.

@karlwashere123 Well there's not really any magnets in the machine, there are actually 3 pairs of superconductors bathed in liquid helium that create powerful magnetic fields in the three spatial dimensions; x,y and z when a current is run through them. This means there's a slightly different overall magnetic field direction at every point within the cavity, which hydrogen atoms in the patient's body respond to. This response can be measured, and a nice image obtained after processing the data.

they could have been killed. they didn't know where the path was in that magnet. It could have been right back at them. all tho rare, but possible. you've gotta be familiar whit this thing when pulling such a stunt. could come right back at you.

@cdlldc111 its good to hear the younger generations is interested in such things. whats cool is that if you sit in this thing for a wile the molecules all line up north in your body and heats your core temp. cooks you like a turkey in a microwave

@jaghatarkebab The magnet makes it magnetic. its to line up the molecules of hydrogen and other molecules in you body in the direction of the magnet, when induce to change direction the change can be detected.

@karlwashere123 I realize that it is a necessity, but what makes it magnetic?
-
@jaghatarkebab Really?
did they find out what was wrong with the oxygen bottle
