It's still an expensive fuckup since it'll have to be thoroughly inspected and damaged pieces replaced, but it should be running again in a few days. Yeah, they can just run it down with a diode and re-energize after they remove the cart. How do I know? My team charged one to 7T at the wrong polarity once, and that how we fixed it without blowing another 15,000 liters of helium on it.

WHOOPS!! Animas River fouled by 1 million gallons of contaminated mine water EPA accidently releases water; Durango residents warned to cut back on water use as health officials evaluate river DURANGO — A spill that sent 1 million gallons of wastewater from an abandoned mine into the Animas River, turning the river orange, set off warnings Thursday that contaminants threaten water quality for those downstream. The Environmental Protection Agency confirmed it triggered the spill while using heavy machinery to investigate pollutants at the Gold King Mine, north of Silverton. Health and environmental officials are evaluating the river as it flows through San Juan and La Plata counties. They said the wastewater contained zinc, iron, copper and other heavy metals, prompting the EPA to warn agricultural users to shut off water intakes along the river and law officials to close the river to recreational users.    http://www.denverpost.com/environment/ci_28595759/animas-river-contaminated-by-1-million-gallons-contaminated

Powered Descent posted:Does it sound like it does in the Tom and Jerry cartoons where that happens? It was similar, just louder and more discordant. Raskolnikov38 posted:how high was the drop? Just a couple of feet. It was a little surprising at the time, since it wasn't really a huge drop but it was pretty loud. Probably also had to do with the forward motion, since it was being moved at the time; it was being wheeled from one room in the studio to another when the leg under the toe caught on a tiny gap in the floor and just buckled, allowing it to drop straight down onto the wood floor (which did not survive the impact). If you've ever looked at the wheels on a piano, they're almost always tiny. They're not really meant to be moved around a lot, and if you are going to be moving a piano around it's usually mounted on something called a spider dolly, which has big 'ol 6-8 inch or so rubber tires (like a hand truck). For whatever reason Steinway didn't have this one mounted on a dolly, and we had no choice but to move it to another room since there was an incoming session and they didn't want to pick it up until the next day. surebet posted:
It actually wasn't too bad. We called Ed the piano tuner and he just jacked it up, slapped on a new leg and tuned it back up. It didn't seem to have any major structural damage, although I wouldn't be surprised if the soundboard was a little warped. The floor was another story though!

Did you mean $15,000 or are MRI dewars much larger to prolong service intervals? In a PM article about He shortages they say "...during the manufacturing process, MRI machines need a lot it: up to 10,000 liters of helium, with up to 2000 liters remaining in a sealed vacuum system around the magnet." It's worded really awkwardly, so I'm guessing that they burn through 10,000+ liters to cool the coils down to superconductive temps and then have 2,000 in a sealed system to maintain the temp.

Darth123123 posted:bullshit. why is it so cylindrical and perfect? big helmet If you intersect a sphere with a flat plane, the cut away is a circle. Which is basically what grinding a spherical surface agains the flat surface is going to do. I'm not saying it happened or didn't happen, but that's what you'd probably see if it was being dragged along an abrasive surface at the same point of contact. Other point in the favor of it being true, is the impact materials in a helmet are typically snow white and that looks like it has accumulated grit and what seems to be small rock embedded. And the striations are about what you'd expect from being dragged for a distance in the same direction.

I think the question that was being asked is: why didn't the rider, you know, move their head at some point? Even if they were dragged unconscious, why didn't they bounce around a bit? Why is the grinding so perfect rather than being all over the helmet? Looks like a belt sander to me too.

It doesn't look all that perfect. The edges aren't regular, and there's scuffing outside the circle too. If it was ground enough to put that much indentation on a mostly spherical surface like that, especially a helmet with a hard shell around a foam core, that seems a pretty reasonable end result. Especially since once the process is started, the helmet will naturally orient itself to either drag on the flat, or on an angle that grinds it down toward flat.

The funny thing is that there are hundreds of such slapshod mine seals waiting to pop across Colorado. EPA wanted to turn them into a superfund, but the local tourist towns blanched, forcing EPA to take a hodge-podge "when no one is looking" approach to assessment and clean up.

Did you mean $15,000 or are MRI dewars much larger to prolong service intervals? Might be 15000 liters of unpressurised gas. That'd be 20 L of the liquid stuff. Although that'd be a tiny MRI.

If the helmet itself is caught between the bus and the pavement he could be moving his head inside the helmet, but unable to move the helmet itself.
