    @stevenray they _do_ transport you to another dimension. I entered one of those in 2014 and now I'm stuck in this evil upside-down universe where actual fascists are tolerated.   @stux ok this interesting but that scares the living shit out of me. I don’t think I want to get in one of those again, but I will if I have to. @littlescraps @stux that comment, I was about to say the exact same thing (except the conclusion : it's over, I'm f*cked, no way I'm entering this thing ever again) @pokelain @stux ha ha yeah. I hope I don’t have to, cause I will resist. God I thought I was scared of Anesthesia. Mother of GOD. I can imagine things flying out of the encasement, although if we think it through wouldn’t centrical force make it fly away from us inside and take out the tech running it?  @littlescraps @pokelain @stux I was just about to say: inside this machine is the safest place to be if it disintegrates.    @qotca @stux no indeed that's CT, an MRI is much less whizzy - https://youtu.be/JD4cGF60QwI @jeroen94704 @qotca @stux I've had numerous MRI and CTs. I always find the noises so fascinating. I never did find a good explanation of *what* the different sounds meant.  @ivor @jeroen94704 @qotca @stux The CT machine noise should be apparent from the OP, but just to make it clear: You're hearing the giant motor that spins that thing around several times per second. The MRI machine is a bit different. The noises it makes are literally the machine itself creaking in different ways to the different types of varying magnetic fields it uses to scan you. @atatassault @ivor @qotca @stux “Creaking” doesn’t really do it justice IMHO 😀. A wooden ship under sail “creaks”, or an old rocking chair. An MRI machine is more akin to sticking your head inside a large church bell and someone hitting it with a hammer @MarcelNBG @qotca I was also checking for this before posting and indeed there's a difference! It was orignally posted as MRI but after some checks it turned out to be a CT @stux whoa! 🤯 Never realised there was actually spinny stuff inside them, just assumed there were a ring of magnets that pulsed in sequence.    @stux Very impressive, but it does make me a little sad. We are capable of making amazing and clever machines (like a CT scanner) to assist doctors and the medical profession, but spend the money and effort on horrible machines (tanks, missiles, guns) that mean that doctors and surgeons are required.   @stux most probably it's like car rims, where they just add small ballasts until it's balanced.  @stux I’ve been thinking about making a video on how a CT and and MRI machine work for several months. Reading this thread I think is just the time.   @stux Let’s make CT machines with transparent casings so spotting problems is easier! (I should really consider a career in marketing or product design, don’t you think?)  @denkbeteiligung @stux @phoenyx some have different modes where they can rotate faster or slower.    @stux probably have to design the PCBs for this like for spacecraft, so G forces don't shear off too large capacitors for example 🤔
 Effective cooling is so important for human technological advancing and I think we have not done enough research in that field. @stux Theoretically, I knew what was happening in there, but I still wish I'd never seen it. @rdfhrn@hessen.social @stux@mstdn.social same vibe as the centrifugal force birth machine @toadjaune No need! they are balanced puuurfectly well as you can see 😉 now you know why they make the noise   |
@stux Great Scott!
