Powerful Magnet (experience, easter)

[Victor]

I was wondering if anyone in Eastern United States or Europe has ever seen a medical machine like this:


I used to work for the company that invented this machine and had my two cents in the design of it. But the machines are so expensive and monolithic that funding for them are difficult to justify for hospitals. Anyways, the machines are more prominent in the East and was just curious if anyone knows someone that has been in one and that would share their experience. Check out the site so you can see what it does:

The magnet in that machine is non-electronic and insanely powerful. It was very neat to design.

Wow! That is neat. I must admit that it is above my head to some extent, but it seems to be something that would help cardiac operations.... Great Victor, you should be proud to have played a part in the development.
