Bagger 288 (Excavator 288), previously known as the MAN TAKRAF RB288 [2] built by the German company Krupp for the energy and mining firm Rheinbraun, is a bucket-wheel excavator or mobile strip mining machine. When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded Big Muskie as the heaviest land vehicle in the world, at 13,500 tons. [3]
The lab holds several world records for the world's strongest magnets, including highest magnetic field of 45.5 Tesla. [3] For nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments, its 33-short-ton (29-long-ton; 30 t) series connected hybrid (SCH) magnet broke the record during a series of tests conducted by MagLab engineers and scientists on 15 ...
Artificial gravity space station. 1969 NASA concept. A drawback is that the astronauts would be moving between higher gravity near the ends and lower gravity near the center. In the context of a rotating space station, it is the radial force provided by the spacecraft's hull that acts as centripetal force.
