A neuropatient, previously installed in a small cylindrical container, is placed in a neuropod which is lowered into its central position among four wholebody pods, all of which are immersed in liquid nitrogen. The mist forms as water vapor in the air is chilled by nitrogen vapor. Alcor-Dewar1.jpg 4.3 inches x 6.8 inches, 0.8 MB

This "Bigfoot" Dewar is custom-designed to contain four wholebody patients and five neuropatients immersed in liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees Celsius. The Dewar is an insulated container which consumes no electric power. Liquid nitrogen is added periodically to replace the small amount that evaporates.
