Completely wooden, but apparently it works.

The Z Machine, New Mexico

"The z machine is the largest x-ray generator on earth and is believed by many as the key to understanding controlled fusion.

‘the z machine uses a short burst of intense electricity - only a few 10 billionths of a second long - that forces an ionized gas to implode. the process is called a z-pinch because the pulse creates a magnetic field that squeezes particles in the vertical direction, which math books usually label as the “z-axis.” at the center of the z-pinch, in the space of a small soup can, gas particles race at each other at a million miles an hour. the collisions result in X-rays and extremely high temperatures.’

in 2006 the machine unexpectedly produced plasmas with temperatures in excess of 3.6 billion °f. that’s hotter than the core of our sun."

Super kamiokande detector, kamioka observatory, japan

"this 50′000 ton cylindrical ‘ring-imaging water cerenkov detector’ can be found at the kamioka mozumi mine in japan - 1′000m underground. clever people built the machine to detect neutrinos, proton decay and cosmic rays: this is done using the 12′000-ish photomultiplier tubes (extremely sensitive light detectors) visible on all walls of the ‘ultra-purified water-filled’ tank.

go here for a nicely simplified explanation and here for some incredible hi-res photos large enough to incapacitate the average pc.

Enterprise under construction

Image from the teaser trailer for the Star Trek movie thats due to be released in December 2008. Its unclear whether this image of the Enterprise being constructed is from the actual movie or just something shot for the trailer. Its controversial amongst fans as the Enterprise was supposed to have been constructed in space.

I'm not implying that these images are 'cool'. But they are interesting.
