what is it??

[flying haggis]

found this pic on another site and now I want to know what the hell is it????????

Not sure pal, the guy at the top right looks like he is pulling a pint if you zoom in .
If thats the case it must be a new weatherspoons coming soon.

Might be a Chinese sperm bank as they will need a lot more staff to run them new coal fired generators.

Los Alamos. Nuclear testing. 1974

Or my mate trying to outwith the National Lottery numbers for Saturday.

Does look a bit like the Admin area of the forum.

...nice detail on the floor!

I suspect it's actually the forum admin homebrew set up

Looks like it could be a central sampling station for all the myriad stages of gas centrifuges used to refine uranium. It looks like there are multiple pipes coming in and getting ganged together into each of the....let's call them "medusa pots" and then from there, into the "pepper pots" at the front. From there to the little take off valves at the very front that presumably allow the guy at the top to take a sample by attaching the "hand pump" gizmo to that particular valve.

Then he passes that sample to the guy at the bottom who appears to be operating some kind of gas chromatograph/spectrograph to analyse material composition/purity.

That would seem fairly consistent with massively parallel centrifuge architecture, running in multiple series stages. Which is pretty much what they did in the early to generate the amount of material needed to build thousands of nuclear warheads.

Or something like that...

So not homebrew then.....?

Since flying haggis started this thread....

Anyone cares to guess what this is (without using Google Lens or suchlike - play fair ):

And no, it's not alien technology...

 

[SpikyMikey]

Particle Accelerator/synchrotron??

Looks like the reactor used for nuclear fusion. It produces an enormous magnetic field to contain the the plasma field from the reaction.

Fuel for world’s largest fusion reactor ITER is set for test run

Nuclear fusion experiments with deuterium and tritium at the Joint European Torus are a crucial dress rehearsal for the mega-experiment.

So, I was correct.

CERN should be of concern to all humanity (allegedly)....

This is not CERN , Higgs Bosun ?

Not a conspiracy theorist and I find 'tin foil hat' mentality laughable .....but ... ??
