stux⚡️A CT machine without its casing
PetterOfCats@stux and that’s why they have a casing
Mr. Bruno 
@stux Awesome! You mean I might have time-traveled in one of those?
Earth Notes@EarthOrgUK @stux Oh, ok. That's where that missing half-hour went.
David@stux *terminator theme tune intensifies*

stevenray@stux amazing that we don’t get transported to another galaxy in that thing.
Rui Malheiro@stevenray they _do_ transport you to another dimension. I entered one of those in 2014 and now I'm stuck in this evil upside-down universe where actual fascists are tolerated.
@stux
@stux
@chromatic @stux seriously? 😉 😂
LittleScrapsoftheNorth@stux ok this interesting but that scares the living shit out of me. I don’t think I want to get in one of those again, but I will if I have to.
Poketipoketipo ✨@littlescraps @stux that comment, I was about to say the exact same thing (except the conclusion : it's over, I'm f*cked, no way I'm entering this thing ever again)
@pokelain @stux ha ha yeah. I hope I don’t have to, cause I will resist. God I thought I was scared of Anesthesia. Mother of GOD. I can imagine things flying out of the encasement, although if we think it through wouldn’t centrical force make it fly away from us inside and take out the tech running it?
Pepijn Schmitz@littlescraps @pokelain @stux I was just about to say: inside this machine is the safest place to be if it disintegrates.
monorail times@stux @lisamelton I would like the casing back on please
texanarchy@stux fancy cat exercise wheel
Jargoggles@stux
Where does the cat go?

xs4me2Now you see why it has one ;)
Ivor Hewitt@stux whoa! 🤯 Never realised there was actually spinny stuff inside them, just assumed there were a ring of magnets that pulsed in sequence.

Crumbs the Cat@stux it would be a lot more energy-efficient to spin the patient instead
grob (teeth era) 🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@stux *portal to hell opening sound*
Flaming Cheeto@stux I wish I hadn't seen that
LeoKeyz🌱@stux sounds like the tasmanian devil to me for some reason
Paul@stux Very impressive, but it does make me a little sad.
We are capable of making amazing and clever machines (like a CT scanner) to assist doctors and the medical profession, but spend the money and effort on horrible machines (tanks, missiles, guns) that mean that doctors and surgeons are required.

Paul.@stux That looks forking scary! And sounds it too!!
Marcos Dione@stux most probably it's like car rims, where they just add small ballasts until it's balanced.
Unai Herran@stux here you have another one.
Sir Farts Alot@stux I would hate to be inside one of these things if it goes off the rails!
So‑Called Vaughn
TrickTim@stux
That's what Jodie Foster went through to see the aliens in Contact.

When's That@stux Honestly, probably easier to just spin the patient.
@stux I’ve been thinking about making a video on how a CT and and MRI machine work for several months.
Reading this thread I think is just the time.
@unaiherran yes please 
@stux Let’s make CT machines with transparent casings so spotting problems is easier!
(I should really consider a career in marketing or product design, don’t you think?)
YurkshireLad@stux so I was lying in the entrance to a wormhole??
Rapha Mack
Jim Hughes ☢️
Erzkatzlerin Eklektra@stux Theoretically, I knew what was happening in there, but I still wish I'd never seen it.
pkprotoplasm (MOVED)@stux Nuh uh this is redneck engineering stargate
enthraxxx@stux This is what nightmares are made of.
Put the casing back!
Put the casing back!
toadjaune@stux now I'm terrified of getting a CT scan (and not because of the radiation)
@toadjaune No need! they are balanced puuurfectly well as you can see 😉 now you know why they make the noise
@stux yeah, this balancing is impressive !
still, the cinetic energy here must be huge, I'd rather not be there if a nut goes flying ^^
absinthe
Lewis Edwards@stux I would not be comfortable standing that close to that.
Dan Drake 🦆@stux my washing machine needs to take lessons from that machine. If there's a couple towels in it, my washing machine on its spin cycle seems determined to shake itself across my basement.
M. K. Broll@stux Ich weiß nicht ob ich mich noch jemals in sowas reinlege 😳
@MartinK No worries! ❤️ As you can see, it's very well balanced! it's a super safe machine 
Trainer Nick@stux next do one that's unbalanced!
Klaus Vink Slott@stux
😳 Glad I did not see that before I was in one.
