Large Helical Device

Posted on September 7th, 2008

Move over Large Hadron Collider - Japan’s Large Helical Device is in the house! Check out this wonderful photo. I think any experiment as big as a building is rad - but if it happens to be a beautiful helical design that creates mini-stars on earth, then bonus! (Don’t worry LHC, we still <3 you)

The Large Helical Device (LHD) project involves construction of the world’s largest superconducting helical device, which employs a heliotron magnetic field originally developed in Japan. The objectives are to conduct fusion-plasma confinement research in a steady-state machine and to elucidate important research issues in physics and engineering for helical plasma reactors.
