The LHC fault burner is a powerful device that uses high electrical current and voltage to eliminate metallic debris from the LHC superconducting circuits and improve their performance. Want to see how it works? Spectacular special effects guaranteed.
Take a walk through the underground tunnel of the world's largest accelerator. Among the highlights, you will see the superconducting cavities that accelerate the particles in the LHC, the bending magnets of the machine and the cavern with radio-frequency equipment.
Imagine yourself in the role of an LHC operator: observe how particle beams are injected from one accelerator into another and how the beams are kept under control until they collide to produce new particles in the LHC experiments.
Become an operator of your own table-top accelerator. Try to inject, accelerate and keep a steel ball circulating at "high energy". You can either rely on full automation of the machine or observe it and try to control it yourself manually like a professional CERN operator. Will you reach the incredible 0.000 001 % of the speed of light? It's all in your hands!
