The idea of filming this video is to educate people as to how violent the reaction of an MRI magnet during a quench or in this case, vacuum jacket loss would be. Imaging this situation inside an MRI room with a patient in the table, no exhaust in the room or a bad or loose quench pipe.
We removed this system from a facility and harvested all the parts out of the magnet before opening the vacuum port. RF and Gradient coils were removed as well as the Cold Head and all other important items.
We quenched the magnet at the facility and had approximately 20% liquid helium level before proceeding with the port cap removal. Always be cautious when dealing with a helium cryostat!!!
Magnet is destined to go to the scrap metal yard for recycling.
