16 Tesla! :eek:

I know the 7 Tesla magnet we have in the NMR here at school has all kinds of warnings on the door...


16 Tesla... That would like pull you across the room if you had keys in your pocket right?

Correction... 16 Tesla... That would like suck metal objects through your body.... 300,000 times stronger than the magnetic field of the earth? Yikes!

I bet it is WAY too heavy to put it on a wrist band. Home much does that sucker weigh?

You probably don't want to know....

The best debunking of the magnetic thigns was on Penn & Teller BS. The attached magnets to some ovenmitts, demagnatized them, then went to a mall and sold them as a medical miracle.

This was the same show with the slug facials.

Yeah but unicorns flying out your butt... how cool would that be?

You would be gettin all the chicks!


Don't they use the same pitch with the copper bracelets?

It would depend on how big. Don't unicorns have a big pointy horn on their heads? Sounds painful. Don't get me started on fairies comming out of your butt...

That has to be a pretty crappy thing to have things fly out your butt. Do they leave skid marks on your wear?

Some folks really want to believe in this kind of crap. they need to believe in it to fill a void. I know some people like this. There is no reasoning with them.
They will not listen to skeptics, they only listen to those who support their fantasy, someone telling them that they are right. They have already made up their minds. They are just looking for reassurance.

I presume they keep their head down during the procedure...

I just think it would be a refreshing change from pigs flying out my butt...

Why the heck do you guys need an NMR? We just got one here at work and from what I can tell it's one SCWHEET piece of kit.

The NMR belongs to the Chemistry department. They use it for analyzing compounds that the people doing research synthesize. You pretty much can't publish a scientific paper these days without an NMR spectrum.

OK, you made me Google it to be sure.

Nuclear magnetic resonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hehe. Interpreting the signals is tedious for beginners. But it gives lots of information. We have a 300MHz machine and an older 60MHz machine here on campus. Cool stuff.

Edit. Picture didn't work
Looks like Octane to me!

What does that have to do with unicorns?

No wait there is more! Buy now and get a second unicorn FOR FREE!!!!

I don't understand that symbol. It is a double negative?

Not Forbidden? Or Forbidden prohibited? Forbidden not allowed so it must be OK.

Hmm. It showed an NMR spec earlier. Apparently the AIST doesn't like linkbacks....

C'mon, Sid... admit it... you've stood close to it because you wanted to see if it would make your manhood tingle.

That's called image leeching, and no, people don't like it.
