...been duplicated elsewhere. In principle the Bridgman pressure apparatus is simple, like Archimedes' theoretical lever with which the old Greek said he could move the world. It is a hydraulic press, in which is utilized the fact that a piston bearing on a small area of a confined liquid delivers its pressure against every other area of equal size in the tank. Thus if a force of 100 lb. is brought against a piston one square inch in cross section, the force transferred through the liquid to a 1,000 sq. in. piston is 100,000 lb. The catch...

...forces. His first apparatus was a battery of accumulators short-circuiting through a wire coil, producing a momentary magnetic field of high power. Next he designed a huge dynamo to provide the short-circuiting power. With this the coils blew up. Kapitza stopped that by chilling the coils with liquid helium ( −270° C.). Finally he was able to produce magnetic fields of 320,000 gauss, five times as intense as any previously created...
