    The primary magnets will be super conducting magnets. Unless you have liquid helium (or liquid nitrogen, if your lucky) to cool it, it will just be an interesting rock.

      There’s a facility a few miles from me that makes the LN. used to work at a facility that had a tank farm served by them. Their driver liked to smoke while purging the liquid hydrogen tanks.

      And not like, walked over to the smoke shack, nope. right there next to the exhaust vent.
