You forgot to give us the Amazon link for the parts used in this build.
Lol
He used squarespace
you need aliexpress
lol
That was a hilarious comment. So good.
Director: At which angle do you want to wear your Helmet?
Linus: Yes
LOL
Its enough of those jokes!
Fire the person who adjusted it. Safety first. /s
His computer gave him ONLY yes/no
hahahaha, so funny! You definently didn't steal the joke idea from thousands of others before you in every comment section!
Hey Linus, pls ask them to replace those small black fans with Noctua fans for better performance.
Fan go buzzzzz

How to DIY water-cool your cyclotron
It's not to hard to build one yourself. You can even use network frequency (50 Hz) to do so. The harder problem is to get a sufficient magnet and for that you need a lot of copper.
Hosted by Anthony? I'd watch that.
A small loan of a billion dollars should do it.
I guess that's a way to perform raytracing.
Nice pun.
The LHC in Europe is like hold my beer

👏👏
As soon as I see the words "particle accelerator":
_"My name is Linus Allen, and I am the FASTEST man alive."_
lol
Jajajaj, I think the same
Sure, you can get a tour of our very expensive cyclotron, but please, STAY AWAY FROM OUR SERVERS! XD
The blue helmet😂 it’s like Linus got hired to play live action mike wazowski from monsters inc
Mike Wazowski !
Linus is one of the UN Support Troops😂
Blue helmet = visitor.
pr0xZen don’t ruin it
that hard hat makes him look like hes making candy
More science with Linus please. Really enjoyed this.
yes
Linus slightly opens door to supercomputer room connected to Cern.
Meanwhile at Cern "Did anyone else just see G-Man walk past ?"
nice
Congratulations Mr. Stark. You have just created a new element.
LInus reviewing a Particle Accelerator is the thing i didn't know i wanted to see.
And wonder why they didn't let him in the server room
Probably due to the secretive nature of these experiments. @@Tallnerdyguy
I for one look forward to LTT becoming a science channel.

And super fun....Denis!!!!
@@metallurgico It would be hard to say "I like LST"
In love when LTT becomes a Science mini-docs channel
Using Linus' Car as a speed comparison really shouldnt be an option
Although AFAIK he got rid of the pink and glittery one :D
WTF....where's the RGB lighting?
I saw some green at 3:33!
Duhh....the power is off.

maintaining a vacuum is much easier than creating it from atmospheric pressure. so they keep the pumps up to save time and money.
Guess they're using shintel
So I think you have missed a very important opportunity to relate the work done at TRIUMF to the world of consumer (and space grade/military grade) electronics. One of the main reasons that TRIUMF was built was to provide a high energy proton source that can mimic the energy of energetic protons trapped in the magnetic field around Earth. Components used on spacecraft that orbit or travel through the proton belt, undergo extensive radiation testing on Earth to ensure that the components will not fail in space. One of these tests is called Single Event Effect (SEE) testing, where a device is bombarded with the protons to see if a proton can cause a bit flip (0 -> 1 or 1 -> 0) or latchup. Pretty much anything with a transistor can experience these effects, such as memory (DRAM, SRAM, etc.), CPUs, FPGAs, and GPUs. The accelerated electrons are also used for total ionizing dose (TID) testing. When a charged particle (in this case the protons and electrons) pass through the component, they deposit a small amount of energy. The energy deposited can lead to a shift in the threshold voltage of a transistor (voltage needed to turn it on) causing it to be permanently on or off depending on the type.
For a demo, I highly suggest taking a GPU, benchmark it, take it to TRIUMF, put it in the proton beamline, then retest the GPU.
The folks at TRIUMF would know what you're talking about if you told them you wanted to do SEE testing. If not, I work in the industry and could find you a good contact.
Jennifer Taggart I would love watching this experiment! It would be super interesting to see the factor by which compute and reliability is affected by random bit flips. I hope LTT sees this!
wouldn't we already know that through the development of things like rowhammer?
Rowhammer could be a result of radiation effects in the DRAM but it is not the sole effect. Depending on architecture, you can get a variety of effects, such as Single Event Functional Interrupts (SEFI) where a spike in current in one location could put logic gates in an undefined state, causing the GPU to hang. Once you power cycle though, the effect goes away (soft error). You can get random bit flips, burn outs, gate ruptures, etc. Some effects cause permanent damage and others are only temporary. Some architectures have error correction or redundancy that can protect against some of the SEE. Since the physics of how radiation is absorbed has to be considered on the material level, even variations between different production batches (same model) can see different effects due to fluctuations in the material layer thickness.
Hey, I'm a highschool student and it's my dream to work in this industry.
Can I ask how you got to this point?
Do I need to get into a super good University for a decent chance?
Thank you
@@huzi37709 So I did my undergraduate in Physics (Ohio State Univ.) and my PhD in electrical engineering (Arizona State Univ.). Vanderbilt probably has the biggest radiation effects research group, especially for doing simulations. Georgia Tech has some research, Oregon State has a research reactor. Berkeley and Texas A&M have awesome cyclotron/ion beam facilities. Most people in the industry will have physics, electrical engineering, or material science degrees. You can take some classes at the undergraduate level but you will specialize in radiation effects research at the graduate level.
Edit: I make these suggestions assuming you live in the U.S.. Not sure about other country's programs though I know of a few in Canada, France and Germany. I had internships at Intel and Sandia National Laboratories, also focused on radiation effects. Keep a lookout for relevant internships after your sophomore year. Companies in the aerospace industry and National labs will have more radiation related jobs than others. Also keep a lookout for NASA and DOE fellowships. It's a small knit community so the networking is more important than your school, but schools with radiation programs will help you make those connections easier.
Nice. They know Linus, and apparently also know OF Linus. "Here's our computers. You aren't allowed in here."

At least Linus can be a tour guide if this TH-cam thing ever goes under.
I like how he goes to these random places and explains them with so much information and enthusiasm that it makes it seem like he's worked there his whole life.
I worked there for 5 years while going to UBC. No one has explained it better. Thanks Linus it brought back good memories
I worked for Nordion on the Triumf site. Nordion makes nuclear medicine. Triumf is government and Nordion used to be.

@@marcruhl8390 Idk if you expect me to act as if that conclusion would make any sense. You know what I meant, stop pretending.
great video!. Im travelling to CERN in July and this video and giving me ideas for my videos
I really love all these LTT videos of crazy lab equipment/factories/tech facilities. keep em coming :D
Half expecting to hear Tom Scott doing a video in another room.
Or, more likely, sixty symbols.
Yeah, Tom Scott is legendary
XD same
Nah, it's missing his whining and political moaning.
Piers H Tom Scott “Whining and political moaning”???
75% of the speed of light? Linus can drop them faster ...and way cheaper :))))
huh! And I thought there was nothing cheap about linus dropping things
You just need to put it inside a giant fridge and overclock it. Also putting flame stickers and RGB on the whole building might increase performance.
This is one of your best episodes ever!! Thank you for doing this!!
Alex actually looked like a PhD student there. Then I realized, oh wait, he works for Linus...
I thought "That guy is somehow familiar...", then i realised, lol.
He's gathering ideas on how to incorporate particle acceleration into his next PC cooling project
This quickly became much more interesting than I expected. Great breakdown Linus.
I couldn't follow any of this :(
Simply AMAZING.
Obviously, the staff has been staying at a Holiday Inn Express.
Thank you!
These are my favorite videos that Linus does. If I could have one of these every week, I'd be a very happy person.
More videos like this. Loved the LIGO tour you guys did, loved this TRIUMF tour as well. Time to go to CERN
Yeah, we have to get Linus to go into the nitty gritty details with CERN or, rather, conCERN
If you liked this and the one on LIGO watch PBS Space Time. Their content on this kind of stuff is amazing.
@@Adrian-yn4qg I've seen a few of their playlists, don't like the host that much. Deep Sky and all of Brady Haran's stuff about this type of content is way better
Nice accelerator, but their cable management needs some work.
Lol
Oh the irony. Proper EMR cable routing does not look pretty. But it designed to have the most stable and cleanest signal. Ironically the pretty neat cabling in PC Builds can often be a Signal Noisy Mess. Luckily Consumer PC are very robust tolerance and not crazy precise. Soo different methods for different goals.
@Cool you
Usually, the older the facility, the messier the cables and the new additions get cable managed while the older parts are kept the same or even added onto
@@Neojhun OH THE IRONTYTNYNTNYNYNTN the fuck we care
This is the Linus we've missed so much! Talking about things with passion! :)
I think I saw Dr. Kleiner in there somewhere.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clarke
An insufficiently educated populace will believe in Magic
No, no it isn't. It's a statement made observing tendencies of human behavior.
@Hal Leonisk ...
Show a cave man technology and he would swear it was magic, show a modern man magic and he would swear it was technology
@KeeganDitty
Well since magic doesn't exist, yes, they are less educated. It's a simple, observable fact. You do realize that not everyone goes through the same level of education right? No one said stupid, you just read stupid, because that's what happens when you're busy strawmanning someone instead of actually thinking about what they said.
Btw, my overwhelming experience in life is that the first person to bring up race in a conversation _is_ the racist.
No one mentioned race until you. You just got excited because you saw a chance to make everything about race, because you somehow think that endlessly obsessing over race isn't the very heart of all racism.
I know it's an old joke but...
Next video: "I Broke a $4.600.000.000 Particle Accelerator"
And customer care is refusing to repair it...
2:59
I bet that thing can rip some seriously fat clouds.
lol vape nation
Vapers here... I esa looking for this comment way far than i exepcted
that was my thought. 'where can i get this rda'
this video felt a LOT longer than 20 minutes... but amazingly, never felt boring or uninteresting. Thanks! :)
Let Alex water-cool that and Anthony overclock that to .99c.
I think they already use at least LN2, so if you want to change anything you need LHe.
I still say we need more Dennis...
I'm to stupid to edit: So never mind I watched further, they already have. But you can develop something better.
That is pretty much what they already do. A bunch of physicists with no engineering experience making high-end experimental equipment to do experiments.
Nah it might throttle

This was awesome, not overly dumbed-down. Thank you to Linus and your team!

Love when you guys do content like this!
Particle Accelerator? Uhm, as long as they're not named STAR Labs I guess we're okay.

I love these site visits. Y'all do a really good job on them and they're always incredibly interesting.
Next Linus video "We're upgrading to 100Gbit dedicated fiber pipe."👀
Those cables......
They have to pay someone to cable manage that
Edit: this was a joke pls don't kill me
The problem is the rewire regularly. tbh I was wondering why the removed all the aluminum foil, that is used to heat the pipes up for vacuum pumping.
So much wasted gear used on this facility. They should have used that money to make next gen graphic cards with gamma ray tracing.
Cable management is for suckers who value aesthetics over functionality.
Rubiconnn CoughairflowCOUGH.
I mean i'm sure they are like that for a reason, i'd imagine that the engineers who made it know a hell of a lot more than any of us lol
Wow good job linus, you listened to your fans. The last few months were so stagnant. Finally thinking outside the box. We would all love more nerdy videos like this.
This and the CERN video are really really neat and it's cool to see a big tech channel going out of there way to cover stuff like this at all when there given the opportunity.
i love how his safetyhelmet is slightly aside ^^
This is one of the few videos without a smooth transition to a sponsor.
they probably thought that filming a segway in the middle of that laboratory tour would make their hosts think lesser of them (that they are some small internet company grasping at any source of income they can get), which is pretty reasonable
@@MiloTheFirst1 they aren't? /s
@@OufTarek I wouldn't say a video producer employing over 25 people in a high wage labor market such as a Canada, and with over 8 million engaged viewers is a small company

@@MiloTheFirst1 it is a small company, relatively speaking.
love these field trip videos. please keep em coming 😊
Linus, I want to tell you that hardcore scientific stuff like this is greatly appreciated and quite interesting. For what it's worth, I vote for more.
Let me guess: Linus dropped it and we're all going to die.
3:00 damn that coil is nuts. bro Imagine how much juice that would go through in a day.
came to the comments just to find a vape joke because of that part and you win
Imagine the clouds tho
Haha, was looking for the vape joke 😂
thats probably a 60ml bottle a minute
So like 0.0001 nic for a good hit?
I love these videos, informative, fun and well edited. Linus could have his own science show, his writers do amazing work.
what a beautiful video linus! good work!
You can’t enter without a docimeter sir!
Linus: hold my pina colada...
*Nice mother ship engine.*
Now we need to build the space ship for this :-)
6:11 When Linus explains things, even science related things begin so sound cool.
A top level look at particle physics always seems so exciting, but studying it is just endless, unapplied maths exams and dealing with people who don’t know how to communicate with humans.
That was a fabulous insight into something amazing. Thank you.
Need more geeky science type videos like this. Loved it.
Very interesting stuff LTT. Keep them coming
this video was so cool - More like this please!
when you're on tour and you just hear linus' voice echoing from somewhere deeper in the facility

I really like these kind of videoes :D
Great work.
Danger: High Voltage
Proceeds to touch metal parts
(I know there are safety procedures but still)
Look up "what happens if someone touches 300 000 volts" on yt, a bit basic for someone who studies physics but very interesting and vulgarization done right anyway :D
EDIT : here's the vid, it's 200 000 but you get the idea th-cam.com/video/ubZuSZYVBng/w-d-xo.html
You know how Linus is
Linus - Put's a warning on the video to show people its not a live voltage to stop stupid comments
Henning Gu - Makes stupid comment anyway
At high enough voltage air stops being an insulator anyway
I love when you do videos like these...very interesting
This might be the first time Linus explains something and it all just completely goes over my head xD

@@chrismeardon1 You're actually trolling, right? This is hilarious.
Wow, that was surprisingly well done. I mean, you put out high quality content, but I didn't expect you to cover that much technical data without a hiccup just from the disparity between this and the normal course of your work, and the fact that there's probably multiple people who also aren't nuclear physicists who worked on the script. Bravo Linus team. Friggin nailed it. I think I remember y'all doing this well on another super technical physicsy video.
It's noble work too, anything that gets millennials to watch physics based videos is treasure.
And that is how the Ghostbusters Proton Pack works. Its amazing they got all of that in to a backpack.
Interesting and original, I'm impressed, good science there.
Secretly making gold on the midnight shift.

Absolutely love tours like these. Yay for actual science!
It was about time you made a video about really interesting stuff. It was mainly for this kind of videos that I subscribed to your channel but lately you rarely made videos about interesting subjects such as this.
