    OH well who left that little warning red light off the build for this? Would have personally thought it was a given that warning systems would be in place for all aspects of this project thats messing with the BIG BANG!

    Even my car has one for a bulb going out!!

    LOL, after all the engineering that went into that you would think that some extra sensors would have been in order to monitor the pressure, I don't think it would have blown the budget.rolleyes That must have been a huge collective brainfart.:-D

    Maybe they should bring VW/Audi on board as their cars have warning system for everything.

    and they are neighbours:-D

    Interesting thanks for the link,I just thought how do you test for a helium leak its inert?

    You'd have to test the density of the gases in the surrounding environment at room pressure.
