You read my mind.
These egghead physicists are supposedly the biggest brainiacs on the planet, yet they couldn't figure out that it would be a lot simpler to ship the darn thing in pieces, then put it together at the end of the line.
Sheeesh....
Another site claims it : **Can’t be done. Magnets like this cannot be disassembled, for many many reasons. First and foremost, you cannot splice the conductor that makes up the coil, as it simply will not work after you do that. Even unwinding the cable that makes up the coils isn’t possible as it would damage the conductor. Superconductors are something else entirely in how you have to treat them, and how fragile they are.**
If you read the article, it mentions the point about the magnet costing10 times more to build / assemble on-site.
