By Javier Santolaya media type="custom" key="23144444" **1) What do you like/dislike about your product?** I like that it´s the biggest machine in the world. It accelerates particles and collides tem. Scientists are working with it to discover the origin of the universe. I dislike that it can cause a black hole... Well, it doesn´t matter! media type="custom" key="23190792" The elements that move in my object are protons and they move in a circular way. You can see it on the video. Also, there are electromagnets and batteries, that produce force fields. There are other elements to activate the sensors.
 * 2) What is moving in your object? 4)****** W **** ** hat movement is produced? ** **
 * 6) How do they work?**

** 3) **** How are the moving parts joined together? ** The protons are not joined together. The other elements are joined through welds, big screws, concrete... like a normal structure.

**5) What are the moving parts used for?** The moving parts are used to:  F irst, accelerate protons   Then, make protons collide and record the results.    **7)** ** Curiosities ** Scientists think that the LHC could cause mini-black holes. The LHC is not just the largest machine: it´s also the largest refrigerator: sensors need to be at a very cold temperatures, like 1.5 Kelvin (0 Kelvin is the absolute zero, and it´s physically impossible to get colder; 0 Kelvin = -273ºC = -449.4ºF) **__8.- Picture Gallery __**
