This is a list of the world's largest machines, both static and movable in history. Building structure ... Tunnel boring machine: 99 m (324 ft 10 in) [8] 17.5 m (57 ...
The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the world, built by Dr. Van de Graaff in the 1930s, is now displayed permanently at Boston's Museum of Science. With two conjoined 4.5 m (15 ft) aluminium spheres standing on columns 22 ft (6.7 m) tall, this generator can often obtain 2 MV (2 million volts ).
For the announcement of 4 July 2012, a new collider known as the Large Hadron Collider was constructed at CERN with a planned eventual collision energy of 14 TeV – over seven times any previous collider – and over 300 trillion (3 × 10 14) LHC proton–proton collisions were analysed by the LHC Computing Grid, the world's largest computing ...
Electrostatic machines are typically used in science classrooms to safely demonstrate electrical forces and high voltage phenomena. The elevated potential differences achieved have been also used for a variety of practical applications, such as operating X-ray tubes, particle accelerators, spectroscopy, medical applications, sterilization of food, and nuclear physics experiments.
La Romana is a municipality and capital of the southeastern province of La Romana, opposite Catalina Island. It is one of the 10 largest cities in the Dominican Republic with a population estimated in 2022 at 153,241 within the city limits ( metropolitan population: 270,000), of whom 149,840 are urban and 3,401 are rural.
La Romana is a port city ranked as Dominican Republic's seventh-largest by population (around 130,000, metro around 215,000). The city is located opposite Catalina Island , and approximately 80 kilometres (50 mi) from the national capital, Santo Domingo .
Researchers believe they’ve discovered the world’s largest asteroid impact crater in New South Wales, Australia. They think the impact may have happened between 445 and 443 million years ago.
Machines that generated static electricity with a glass disc were popular and widespread in Europe by 1740. [3] In 1745, German cleric Ewald Georg von Kleist and Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek discovered independently that the electric charge from these machines could be stored in a Leyden jar , named after the city of Leiden in the ...
