Absolutely yes. each magnet weights 1920 tons you do the math on the number of lbs. alot of that weight is ballast for rigidity but we use hundreds of gallons of liquid helium. fortunately we have on site refrigerators that reuse this expensive gas.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 410574Side note. At a seminar yesterday in Lousiana held by ADC Association of Diving Contractors it was said the the government is stepping in to ban the commercial diving industry to stop using helium for the deep water mixed-gas dives. They were told that the government needs the helium for its own use. The divers will have to use neon instead.
