"LHC micro models" to make large-size hadron collision type accelerator of CERN with LEGO reproduces Atlas etc. in palm size



Block toy LEGO (Lego), CERN ATLAS and CMS etc. elaborately reproduced "LHC micro models"Has appeared. We ordered parts from Lego,Large-scale hadron collision type accelerator(LHC) can be reproduced.

"LEGO IDEAS (Lego idea)"In Lego, if you succeed in gathering support of more than 10,000 votes by soliciting votes by proposing the idea that you want to commercialize with LEGO, commercialization will be considered with LEGO.

To this Lego idea, Nathan Readioff, a student at the University of Liverpool PhD proposes LEGO series "LHC micro models" that reproduces each laboratory facility that constitutes the large hasron collision type accelerator (LHC) developed by CERN in palm size , Successfully succeeded in obtaining support of over 10,000 votes.

Readioff constitutes LHC "ALICE"ATLAS"CMS"LHCbDrawing an elaborate 3D model of each experimental facility, and preparing to the level where it can be actually assembled as a LEGO.

This is a schematic diagram of "ATLAS LEGO".


Parts of each part are color-coded to make it easier to assemble, but the ruggedness that it is close to the color of the actual facility.


When it is actually assembled it will be like this. Each experimental facility Lego is said to fit in the palm of your hand.


"ALICE LEGO"


"CMS LEGO"


"LHCb LEGO"


Although "LHC micro models" has not yet been officially commercialized, Readioff has disclosed parts lists for assembling each experimental facility and set it to the state where LHC can actually be assembled I'm giving up.

For example, the list that lists the parts necessary for making "ATLAS LEGO" is like this.


An assembly guide is also released.


When each experimental facility is connected by Magnetic dipole, LHC is completed.


It actually looks like this when assembling with Lego.


It is no longer necessary for LEGO to commercialize "LHC micro models".
