Torque
Okay so here’s the absolute unit from an angle I haven’t posted before
See that oval-shaped window down at the bottom? Let’s take a peek inside.
That’s a view of the center column of the torus. Like if you were to look at a donut from the edge, but the donut were hollow, and instead of a hole in the middle there was a pillar covered in molybdenum tiles. Let’s take closer look
See how those tiles are twisted clockwise? That’s not on purpose. What happens is that the crazy strong magnetic flux in the torus induces an electric current with the tile. And when you put a current-carrying piece of metal in a magnetic field, it applies a force to that metal. That’s how magnetic braking in electric cars works, for example.
The magnetic field in the torus was strong enough that it torqued these tiles so hard they twisted in their mountings.
That’s some crazy powerful torque. Some incredibly impressive torque, with super dense, strong magnetic fields. Just, torque for days.
The technical term for torque that’s beefy enough to yoink molybdenum tiles off of inconel superalloy studs is:
Torcc.
