Before the collision could happen, as scientists were trying to ramp up the current and energy, something went wrong with a connection of the bus bar between magnets, creating an electrical arc that punctured the helium enclosure and caused large quantities of liquid helium to be released (helium is necessary to cool the superconducting magnets that guide the beams around the ring).
This current can be tapped and amplified by the radio or television receiver, allowing power and information to be communicated over large distances without direct electrical connection.
Researchers mapped the brain's connections as one would analyze a large - scale network such as the U.S electrical grid, global flight patterns or Linkedin professional connections, creating a model of the brain's «connectome.»
For example, in very large scale integration (VLSI) technology, vast numbers of electronic elements are packed into a tiny space, and it is the mass of electrical connections between them that limits performance.
Other power steering systems (such as those in the largest off - road construction vehicles) have no direct mechanical connection to the steering linkage; they require electrical power.
The basic idea is very straightforward: place very large solar arrays into continuously and intensely sunlit Earth orbit (1,366 watts / meter squared), collect gigawatts of electrical energy, electromagnetically beam it to Earth, and receive it on the surface for use either as base load power via direct connection to the existing electrical grid, conversion into manufactured synthetic hydrocarbon fuels, or as low ‐ intensity broadcast power beamed directly to consumers.»
Small wind turbines remain more expensive than large turbines, especially if the objective is to produce electricity for the grid, since the electrical connection and maintenance are a much higher proportion of the capital value of a distributed system.
