It's a 3000HP clinker motor we were rewinding. It drives a gearbox that turns the clinker at a concrete plant. The clinker is a 100 yard long tube that has steel balls and chains in it and turns very slowly to pulverize the larger pieces of concrete into very fine powder. Concrete is run through the clinker and hot air is pumped through it to remove the moisture from the concrete dust. I am the bald one.

Although they're both the same meaning , I like one better than the other.......

They are on because they are perpetual motion machines. Modern MRI's use superconducting wire for the primary magnet. At 4K, the wire has zero resistance to electricity. So once the coil is cooled to 4K with liquid He, the coil is energized and then the source of electricity is removed. As long as the coil stays cold, the magnetic field remains. [BTW: I used to work for a division of Intermagnetics, which makes the coil for Philips MRI systems; and am also familiar with 2G wire which works at LN2 temps. I'm still blown away at the manufacturing prowess to make one of the 3T coils.]

The MRI would probably get that nail out in a hurry. Hopefully through the front and not the back or side.

This freakin' cold weather is really bumming me out. If it drops a few more degrees I may have to go buy a long-sleeve shirt!
