2: Superconducting NMR magnets
More tricks using an 11-Tesla superconducting electromagnet. These are used for chemistry research; for determining the detailed shape of unknown molecules using "two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance."
Y'know, I've heard that if you place a tray of water under one of these magnets, the water will curve into a bowl shape, exposing the bottom of the tray. The Red Sea is parted. But nobody wants to try it. Too much expensive electronics might get wet. [LATER] Tried it. Didn't work. But perhaps the gradient was too small. I'll try it on another magnet.
