If anyone can identify this, feel free. I dug it out of an old image folder file and have no memory of where I got it from. It’s copper (and I’m only saying that ’cause it’s part of the namefile,) so probably used in some electrical application, and it’s large (about man-height –if it’s solid, it likely weighs a few tons). Beyond that I have no idea.
Could be a really big ass heating coil.
It looks like a big electromagnet. I don’t know why it’s shaped like that though, maybe to go around windings?
It reminds me of the huge magnets used to measure the Hall effect.
@Luke Magnifico I automatically did this with your comment. Then I LOL’d
@...AustinDav: F*cking Funny! It’s a battery,.. why- is an other problem..
Are you sure it’s a battery?
Probably a nuclear device…
Image Google for “Wendelstein coil”!
So, it’s toroidal stellarator?
It’s a hemroid shrinker.
Duh.
@...Puulaahi: Whoa! Don’t know how I missed that. I need new glasses.
Looks like a deflection yoke of some kind.
@...NoOneInParticular: A deflection yoke for what? The world’s largerst TV or CT machine? Why is it shaped liked that?
No its a CPU COOLER xD for my quadripple Nvidia GTX 280 (btw i rather have 4x ATI)
My, what a big Wang you have!
What this magnet has to do with NMR I couldn’t begin to guess, since I seemed to remember baseball-wound coils like this being used as plasma end traps in experimental reverse-mirror nuclear fusion containment devices.
… like a tokamak.
