Not a physicist though. I design electronics for said institutes.

....and are you government employed....doing covert design work :o do you introduce yourself as Tim, Too Fast Tim and do you prefer your vodka martini stirred or shaken....... :rotfl:.......

I could tell you but......

Presently working for a company that manufactures teslameters (guess what they measure). High energy physics institutes (for those that don't know) use magnets, big magnets and lots of them. Also working on instrumentation for ITER (http//www.iter.org). Will be visiting JET (http://www.jet.efda.org/) in 10 days time as well as some of those institutes listed above.

Donald, for somebody who plays Tetris on a Cray this is a bit rich :o I'll bet that you have one of the few Crays in the UK, you and GCHQ!

I always thought Teslas were the girls OMD sang about......it explains your magnetic personality Tim :o:D

Think we only use the Cray for space invaders now, it was deemed too slow for our needs and we now have one NEC SX-8 and 2 SX-6 Super chappies for Tetris, doom and occasionally forecast modeling, if the climate change mob don't get to it first..... Seriously they run on "Nodal" processors at huge speeds and processing power of 19.5 TeraFLOPS, pretty poor when beside Blue Gene but it seems to do the job...for now
