I'm told that back on the day, a guy working at JEOL, on a small-bore research NMI, was wearing a metal-banded wristwatch. And when it started to heat up, he reflexively pulled his arm out of the bore very quickly.
That is a bad day at work.
- renewiltord 2y agoWhat actually happened? I imagine he received a burn on his hand?
- CoastalCoder 2y agoIIRC the story (I heard it second hand) he got a very nasty burn around his wrist. He was quickly moving a conductive loop through a very strong magnetic field with a crazy large gradient. (I'm not a physicist, but I assume that's the explanation for the burn.)
- renewiltord 2y agoMakes sense. Thank you!
