Title: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: pimathbrainiac on June 17, 2013, 11:13:02 pm: http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/21619

I saw this on FB and I had to share. It's an official LEGO model of the Atlas Detector (part of the LHC)

It needs 10000 supports on the LEGO CUUSOO to be put into production

/me wants REALLY badly

And it's so freakin' awesome you can't even test it's power (that's the reason I put when upvoting). :D

Post by: ElementCoder on June 18, 2013, 08:23:39 am: YES I want this thing :P Definitely going to vote this up. Now for a working model.

IT'S OVER 9000!!!
now with that out of the way, I would love this, and since everyone at my workplace are physicists, I'm sure they will support this too.

Post by: Streetwalrus on June 18, 2013, 12:33:33 pm: Upvotes are still under 9000 though. D: Lure some people !
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: pimathbrainiac on June 18, 2013, 02:42:58 pm: votes must be 10000 to be in production...

so yes, it must be >9000

/me urges people to share this with friends and on Facebook

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 18, 2013, 05:31:18 pm: Checked this and it gets my support. Of course to buy it it would have to not be too expensive in my case, though. LEGO's tend to be quite expensive.

Post by: Sorunome on June 18, 2013, 06:06:08 pm: it's funny because even though they don't have a patent anymore they still sell the most as it requires too much presition, nobody managed to redo it yet.
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: aeTIos on June 18, 2013, 07:37:31 pm: I think I saw a way bigger version... Like it was 20% more awesome than this thing.

Post by: Hooloovoo on June 18, 2013, 07:47:07 pm: Both that and the smaller one were built by the same person. The bigger one isn't being offered as a kit though.
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: aeTIos on June 18, 2013, 07:55:38 pm: I know, still the bigger one is more awesome ;D
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: Sorunome on June 19, 2013, 01:36:13 pm: wow, that thing is awesome O.O
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on June 20, 2013, 03:21:13 am: Wow, I wish the large one was made as a lego set! O.O

But I bet that LEGO would charge $800 for it. Just for a 500 pieces set they charge up to $80 sometimes...

Post by: Sorunome on June 20, 2013, 03:40:17 am: Wasn't the death star lego set already like $1000?
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: Sorunome on July 03, 2013, 12:31:47 pm: This thing got enough supporters! http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/21619
Now it only has to go through LEGO-people so that they will produce it :)
Title: Re: Lego Atlas (Detector from LHC): Support this thing!!!
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on July 26, 2013, 01:08:09 am: I just saw this and I'm glad this got enough supporters. I wonder if LEGO has been contacted and if they replied so far?

Post by: Sorunome on July 26, 2013, 04:03:43 am: It says that the project review will begin in september.
