| Description | After completion, a rotating container will hold 12 tons of liquid sodium and rotate at a speed of up to 600 revolutions per minute. In addition, the entire container will rotate around a second axis at up to 60 revolutions per minute, so that the sodium will be subjected to precession forces. The researchers want to investigate the flow behavior under these conditions and prove that the flow in the sodium builds up a magnetic field without external excitation. This would be the experimental proof of how the earth's magnetic field is created in the liquid part of the iron core of the earth. View from above into the containment and the central experimental hall with the base frame for the slewing bearing of the world's first precision-driven dynamo. |
