The annual Mag Lab Open House will be this Saturday, February 21, from 10 AM to 3 PM.
Two of the things you can see were highlighted in this blog last February: You will actually see a pulsed magnet that gets to about 60 T for a few milliseconds -- before it becomes tiny pieces of copper -- and the switch and capacitor needed to make it work.
CAPS, the Center for Advanced Power Systems, will be having an open house (with lots of hands-on activities) in conjunction with the Mag Lab activities. CAPS is across the street from the Mag Lab, adjacent to the large parking lot where most people will have to park.
Updated: My plan is to get there early (about 10 AM) and tour the Magnet Lab with whatever group of PHY2049 (and other) students shows up at that early hour. We can go over to CAPS after that. Meet me in the main lobby of the magnet lab.
Directions:
CAPS is in one of the two buildings marked with the "A" on this map.

The Mag Lab is the building complex to the left. There is a new building (Materials Research) filling the empty field to the south of CAPS.

I wasn't able to attend... I don't think that my pacemaker would have permitted it.
