In 2001, a cost analysis was conducted to build a 233 km circumference tunnel in northern Illinois for a Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC). Here we outline the implementations of e+e, proton anti-proton, and μ++ μ collider rings in such a tunnel using recent technological innovations. The 500 GeV e+e collider employs a Crab Waist Crossing, ultra low emittance damped bunches, a vertical IP focal length of 0.06 cm, 12 GV of superconducting RF, and 0.026 Tesla low coercivity, grain oriented silicon steel/concrete dipoles. The 40 TeV proton anti-proton collider uses the high intensity Fermilab anti-proton source, exploits high cross sections for proton anti-proton production of high mass states, and uses 2 Tesla 0.005% ultra low carbon steel/YBCO superconductor magnets run with liquid neon. The 40 TeV muon ring ramps the 2 Tesla superconducting magnets at 8 Hz every 0.4 seconds, uses 250 GV of superconducting RF to accelerate muons from 2 to 20 TeV in 72 orbits with 72% survival, and mitigates neutrino radiation with a phase shifting, roller coaster FODO lattice.*

A 1.8 Tesla dipole magnet using 0.011" AK Steel TRAN-COR H-1 grain oriented silicon steel laminations has been constructed as a prototype for a muon synchrotron ramping at 400 Hz. Following the practice in large 3 phase transformers and our own OPERA-2D simulations, joints are mitered to take advantage of the magnetic properties of the steel which are most effective in the direction in which the steel was rolled. Measurements with a Hysteresigraph 5500 and Epstein Frame show a high magnetic permeability which minimizes stored energy in the yoke so the magnet can ramp quickly with modest voltage. A power supply with a fast IGBT switch and a polypropylene capacitor was constructed. Coils are wound with 12 gauge copper wire which will eventually be cooled with with water flowing in stainless steel tubes. The magnetic field was measured with an F. W. Bell 5180 peak sensing Hall Probe connected to a Tektronics TDS3054B oscilloscope.
