“Then the MacManus [i.e. a ship] went down. The sudden quench of the white light⟳ was how I knew it.”
“There are two main types of quenches, and both are triggered by the red button. A customer of ours actually pushed his once, out of curiosity. And no, he was not 7 years old. This button is primarily for safety purposes. In some rare cases, clear signage is ignored and metal objects like⟳ mop buckets, oxygen tanks, etc. get⟳ sucked into the bore of the MRI. These are very difficult to remove⟳ while the magnet is at field. And, if a patient is somehow pinned inside, an emergency push⟳ of the quench button can be a lifesaver. The button artificially heats the magnet and starts the chain reaction described above.”
