RB you are right about the temp of absolute Zero but The laws of thermodynamics state that absolute zero cannot be reached using only thermodynamic means, thats why i said that its very very close to absolute zero so theoretically -269 could be the coldest they can get Helium using normal thermodynamic means

You are right sir. It is a bit more involved getting it there. Getting the helium into the magnet when that thing is at room temperature is another story.

 

It takes 400 liters of gas to make 1 liter of liquid.

my *** that's a helluva conversion rate (or lack thereof)!!!

 

The qc on the conversion process must be helluva high to enable it to convert without too much loss... Efficiency se gat, is what I say...

Think of this: A magnet can hold between 1000 and 3000 liters of helium. Imagine the pressure build up if the helium starts boiling! Do the math - it scares me sometimes.

 

There is a clip on youtube about a magnet blowing up - ice blocked the vent ports and the pressure had no where to go. Gooooooooood bye!

 

Footnote: The chances of a magnet blowing up are really slim these days. It has more features than a remote...or a woman....

In its liquid form?!

 

Bu-byyyyyyyeeeeeee!

 

That's frikkin scary. I didn't get far enough in engineering to start doing the endo / exothermic reactions or any sort of conversions, but I can imagine that shoudl be summed up by one (final) word, if/when it should happen...

 

Fu.. (speech ends due to vaporization)
