Standing about on the floor of the hall are a number of large bending magnets, created to deflect the beam toward targets, as it comes from the accelerator itself. Adjacent to the hall is a huge machine shop, enabling technicians to turn out special fittings on the spot...
...electrons enters, the magnetism is just strong enough to make them move in a circle, keeping away from the ring's walls. Round and round they go, picking up energy from 16 electrically charged "cavities" arranged around the ring. The added energy makes them heavier and harder to deflect, so each time they make the circuit the magnets must grow stronger to hold them on course...
This reviewer's biases should be taken into account, because they obviously deflect the conclusions. Ibsen's no favorite of mine, and Rosmersholm is not among his finer plays. But even these biases could not blur the polished stagecraft clearly displayed at the Loeb...
Standard weapon of U.S. nuclear submarines, the Polaris burns solid fuel, and it cannot be steered, as liquid-fuel rockets are, by swiveling the whole combustion chamber. Instead, Polarises now at sea use jetavators-movable nozzles inserted in their jet streams to deflect them and thus keep the rocket on course. No one likes jetavators; they are inherently troublesome, and their drag on the fast-moving jet stream soaks up precious thrust power even when they...
...seats. Balconies will be called terraces, and loge seats will replace the traditional boxes. The loge seats, however, "will be more generously spaced" than those in the terraces and orchestra. Concertgoers in even the remotest seats will sit under "clouds" of acoustical panels that will heighten tonal quality and deflect the lights to suit the mood of the music (an alarming prospect for people who do not particularly want to hear Bach in the dusk...
