Can you cool a particle accelerator using only lake water?
For decades, the Wilson Laboratory, which houses the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source, has relied on four immense cooling towers that evaporate 10,000 gallons of water daily to reduce the temperature of the nearly 650 electromagnets that line a half-mile-long ring buried 40 feet below east campus. Those towers are now obsolete because the lab has tapped into the university’s Lake Source Cooling system, which draws cold water from the depths of Cayuga Lake to remove heat from the district chilled water loop that cools the majority of Cornell facilities.

This video is a true masterpiece! The content, editing, and presentation are all top-notch. Keep up the fantastic work!
This is actually really cool! It’s another creative step towards using natural resources around you sustainably. Great job guys!
What about return water warming the lake, or the environment
How does freezing over of the lake in the winter affect your cooling project?
Is lake water actually running through the loop or is there a heat exchanger and closed loop?
I wonder what John Russel Rickford thinks of his sons russels support of terrorism ?
Antisemitic Cornell University professor was caught on camera telling students Hamas’ terror attack on Israel - which has left more than 1,400 dead - was “exhilarating” and “energizing.” The remarks were made at a pro-Palestine protest by Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at the top-tier Ithaca, New York school and posted online Sunday by a student who called them “shameful.”
