There is a huge ' generator ' type ' machine ' that is being built in Switzerland. I think most of it is underground. I've heard of it before...yet, don't remember the name of it.
Seeking the name of it. And...if you know the name...do you know what the intent of it's use is ? What is the projected completion date.? Was'nt there one being built here in the U.S. also that is smaller ?

The Relativistic Heavy Ion collider is located in Upton, NY and has been functioning since 2000. It is used to study the primidorial form of matter that existed on earth just after the big bang. It is done by colliding ions traveling at "relativistic" speeds (see Einstein for explanation)
There were 4 working detectors located along the collider with one having completed its series of experiments in 2005.
The Large Hadron collider is located at CERN near Geneva, SWI and is expected to be operational by 2008.
It will have 6 detectors and be used to look at everything from the form of matter and anti-matter to dark energy.

You mean the Large Hadron Collider?
Check the wikipedia web page (below) for lots of info.
I forget the details on the US one. I think that the funding was cut, it will never be built. (No point once the Hadron is built...)

If the Large Hadron Collider isn't what you're looking for, try googling CERN instead.

I am sure it is a Tesla project, read somewhere that we could not make it work, but heard china bought it, but if it works it will draw free energy, using the universal forces that flow freely all around us.
