FSU Sets 7 World Records In High Magnetics Research

Posted by timothy on from the research-and-fun dept.

spence calder writes "FSU's High Magnetic Field Lab, more specifically my Kenpo teacher, just broke 7 world records, and brought the record for a superconducting magnet to 25 Tesla. Check it out at FSView and a more detailed article here. Now if only our football team was that cool." And if you'd like your magnetic toys to shoot metal bits, Jason Rollette points to his railgun project, which looks like good, clean, high-voltage fun.

    How this post made it here? FSU is not a FSF branch...

    If they get any stronger now, the terrorists may have a great weapon, sucking planes and sea wessels down and under.

  3. Clowns doing Physics? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    FYI: the NHMFL is operated by the University of Florida, FSU, and Los Alamos National Labs -- not just FSU. To give all the credit to a clown college like FSU is a disgrace to real research institutions like UF.

    Yeah, this AC is biased by being a UF grad. But c'mon... you really can major in clowning there. How much research would they get done if they were left alone?
