#ISeeTheWorldWithScience.
Trouble brewing at work.
If you want to guess what the two items are, tell me something interesting about them but don’t say what your guess is. Please don’t blurt out the answer.
If you don’t want to guess, you can tell me what science the image makes you think of.

This edition of #ISeeTheWorldWithScience is long over. The two items below are liquid helium dewars that I used to refill my MRI at work.

Walt Disney.

Well the Dewar tank on the right looks like it has a liquid nitrogen warning sticker on it. It’s also pressurized.
Won’t hazard a guess on the other tank.

In 1904 Sir James got ripped off by a couple of Germans.
October 11, 2016
Adam Liss, I’m not sure if I’m getting your clue.
October 11, 2016
Ours have names like Fonzie & Brad Pitt.
October 11, 2016
Don Denesiuk, you probably have it figured out. The question is why do I need over 500L?
October 11, 2016
There’s an urban legend that Disney’s body is frozen somewhere, and that the cryogenic tech was good enough that they’ll be able to resuscitate him one day.
October 11, 2016
NYC sidewalk decor.
October 11, 2016
Adam Liss, I totally forgot about that.
October 11, 2016
Are you trying to attract something(s)?
October 11, 2016
Sy Bernot you give names to your dewars?
October 11, 2016
Jodi Kaplan, that’s got me stumped. Maybe it’s getting too late.
October 11, 2016
Adam Liss, of course. I have two of those too.
October 11, 2016
They help NY keep its cool.
October 11, 2016
NYC has LN canisters out on the streets. The gas is released into the underground wiring to pressurize it and keep it dry.

October 11, 2016
I saw that once and didn’t know what it was for. Glad it’s LN2 and not He.
October 11, 2016
I didn’t name them, but they all have cool names mostly in sharpie (grad students).
I used to used Nitrogen to keep my optics free of dust. Nothing like a little positive pressure to keep the garbage out.

Brewing beer
October 11, 2016
We used one dewar of liquid helium this morning. We’ll boil most of it off as we ramp the field down.
October 11, 2016
Are you doing an Arthur Fiedler impersonation? He was a super conductor of the Boston Pops Orchestra.
October 11, 2016
^Ow!
October 11, 2016
Adam Liss, the music will stop tomorrow morning. We’ll ask the conductor to return after we replace the cold head (helium recycling).

The technology that depends on these vessels is a specialty of Pfizer Inc and is very prolific in yielding new and exciting bio-active chemical compounds such as antibiotics. On the other hand, after due consideration,they might be a variant of the good old Thermos flask brought into a high tech large scale environment.
December 7, 2016
Chad Haney(null) they have to be used with respect, because of their large capacity. LN2 is very very risky.
December 7, 2016
John Husband, these were used with liquid helium.
December 7, 2016
Well, that’s OK, then. ๐
December 7, 2016
(Well, more like 4K, probably. ๐)
Do we get spoilers yet? Please?
December 7, 2016
Adam Liss, spoilers?
December 8, 2016
What’s the project??? ๐
December 8, 2016
Routine maintenance. I’ll explain more later.

Good industry wit mash kitles

Chad Haneyโ is it “later” yet? ๐
February 26, 2017
Adam Liss, much later. I suppose I should edit the post to reflect that the answer is in the comments already.
