9 years ago, some of us organized a meeting to discuss possibility of bringing in a 6000 ton press in the US. I had goosebumps today to have a chance to stand in front of it and have time to appreciate. Thank you for those who made it possible! Enjoy the photos.

Went on a pilgrimage today to the temple of this Forceful Diety of Stress (6000 ton press called “Ichiban” @FORCEhighP) — soon that gaping maw will be fed with samples that will be able to experience pressures equivalent to those at more than 400 miles deep inside the Earth!

Ichiban’s frame and collars are in place and the cylindrical pumps for the pressure system have been set in place. In the last image you can see FORCE Co-I @DanShim4 admiring Ichiban. Thanks to Dan Shim and Kyusei Tsuno for the photos #forceasu
