This alternating-current generator was installed at the Bunker Hill & Sullivan silver mine in Idaho in 1897, replacing a pair of Edison direct-current generators.
From the series e-maGen.
“Every day, we create new identities on social media. Fragmentary and carefully chosen stories from our lives cross paths with staged photographs; that is, with different or optomized versions of ourselves. Again, and again, the question arises to what extent these artificial, digital identities are real, and whether reality depends on a tangible (human) corporeality.” (Steinek, S. 2018; 166)
e-maGen is a series of images which explores and comments on:
❀ The e-maGined world, the creation of a new identity, a 'virtual person'
❀ The culture of social media aesthetics and it's transience
❀ How people use online identities to portray different personas
❀ The question of the 'true self'
❀ The 'e-maGined identity' versus the real identity:
✧ Is it just a performance for an audience?
✧ A filtered identity where features are manipulated?
✧ Can she escape being human to be non-human?
✧ Or does she still appear human, and can't escape being human?
One of the men restoring the Mill told me that this generator was also used to charge batteries which the local farmers would bring along to the Mill.
The Mill at Gelligroes in Pontllanfraith dates back to approximately 1625. There have been several improvements made including a water powered generator which was built in 1908 to provide electricity for the Mill and the house. A major restoration was made in 1993, and the mill now incorporates a candle making factory.
The Mill is currently undergoing refurbishment work.
In 1912 Arthur (Artie) Moore an amateur radio enthusiast living at the Mill picked up the distress signal from the Titanic from this location.
Cash Generator is a chain of pawn shops, it's headquartered in Bolton, Greater Manchester (which is 226 miles north-west of here according to Google!!).
They also (as far as I know) do so-called "payday" loans.

Looking at these generators makes me wonder why people would rather have coal-fired power plants than wind power. They are located all around the place where I'm staying, at a typical distance of 2 km. and make little to no noise.
Here are they building the house for the generator, 115 MW.

My Micro Sci-Fi entry for the contest over on Eurobricks. This was originally going to be a waterfall, but it evolved into a dam. Which then evolved into a futuristic power station. I'm really pleased with this. I did change the water when I saw some of Ironsniper's Chronicles work. I went and decided that having the buildings built into the side of the cliff would be more interesting than a flat area.

One of the old steam generators which served the Prairie Island Nuclear Plant faithfully for 40 years is removed from the plant.
Hamilton Sundstrand is the only supplier with the ability to provide a full range of power generation and system control options and features tailored to match aircraft and end-user needs. The constant frequency integrated drive generator (IDG) is the predominant choice for electrical power. Used in nearly all commercial and military applications, the IDG is the world standard for reliable, constant frequency power. The variable frequency generator (VFG) is used on applications with a high percentage of resistive AC or DC loads and provides power to many of the next generation aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand’s variable frequency starter generator (VFSG) and motor controller system provides main engine start and control.
Top Magnetic Generator from Hungary, the photo is showing this giant generator that took 14 years to be developed through intensive efforts of research and development using special magnetic technology.
Back to Braughing
Another fantastic night I had on my parents farm.
The evening was absolutely perfect again until I had set out all of the traps, pulled the cord on the generator (thanks so much to David Kirk and the Boxmoor Trust for allowing me to use it elsewhere) and the rain started.
I have lost count on how many times this has happened.
I got drenched until 11pm when I called it a night, topped the generator up and went to bed.
Getting up at 4am there were quite a few casualties as a result of prolonged showers which was a bit upsetting.
The numbers were absolutely astounding to say the least.
Most numerous were Mother of Pearl (200+),Water Veneer (Easily 400+), C.culmella (100+) and Dark Arches (52)
Best moth of the night for me was an extremely lucky find. I saw a moth that I didn't recognise upside down in a puddle near one of the traps, I put my hand down to it and it crawled on for its new lease of life and lo and behold it was a Beautiful Snout, I suddenly went all shivery...the moth was still in mint condition! 8th County record.
Other highlights and there were plenty were several European Corn-borer, Vestal, 4 Small Mottled Willows, 5 Rush Veneers, 2 Rusty Dot Pearls, 12 Silver Ys, 1 Lesser Wax Moth, 3 Pine Hawk-moth and 1 Ear Moth
Backed up by a few wetland wandering species Donacaula forficella, Dotted Fan-foot and Calamotropha paludella.
Argyresthia curvella was a new moth for me.
I am thoroughly wet and exhausted but pleased at the same time!
Numbers below are approximate.

This bicycle generator (dynamo) I own for several years now and I have never seen a similar one.
Who knows it's age and how rare is it ?
Copying a co-worker's setup, I pulled all the cables and sought a more elegant routing, running the cable down the fender stay and under the bike frame to the headlight.
Two new steam generators are delivered by rail to the Davis-Besse Power Station in Oak Harbor, Ohio, for installation in spring 2014
Remains of a generator on the site of the former RAF Aird Uig, which was a radar station operating between 1954 and 2010 on Gallan Head the most north westerly point of Britain. The site was abandoned in 2010 and was handed over to the local community who are developing the site as a tourist attraction.
A friend (Ram) from the North Texas Electric Auto Association (www.nteaa.org) brought me this new cool container from "The Container Store" we built and installed an HHO Generator in his Lexus, and I just rebuilt mine in one of the containers as well, and reinstalled it.
I like this container as it has clips on the side that snaps the lid on. It has a rubber seal, and is very heavy duty.
It is also perfectly SEE THRU , so monitoring the cell plates is very easy to do now.
The first thing that we did with a new Infinity 12" subwoofer that was purchased (for home, and not lab use), was to hook it up to our frequency generator and put it through a few paces. The sub is rated at 28 to 150 Hz, and, apparently, the resonant frequency of our conference room is approximately 47 Hz. Check out the video of it in action, and see our blog post!
