i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

The other aspect Dr Foell mentioned was the strength of the field increasing. Unlike gravity, which is proportional to the inverse square of the distance (1/rĀ²), magnetism increases by the sixth power (1/rā¶), which means as the object gets really close the force attracting it goes up fast!

a lot of heat is generated very quickly. This often damages the magnet wires, which is why it is only done in an emergency.

If anyone ever played with batteries and wires, you know that current thru a wire generates heat due to the resistance in the wire. Superconductors have almost no resistance, so little heat is generated. However, when the MRI magnet is quenched, it suddenly does have resistance, and ...

The MRI magnet is a very high field-strength ELECTROmagnet, where the magnetic field is created by high-ampere electric current going through superconducting coils. The metallic material used in the coils is only superconducting at low temperature, i.e. liquid helium's boiling point ...

It's fascinating how the dismantling of a genuine mass media and the recreation of premodern purely person-to-person information networks via social media has transformed Americans back into medieval villagers in the span of about a decade.
