I think I can use this motor from a... I think it's from a VCR. I'm trying to spin the thing to see if I can get a reading on the output.
On the right is the two speed axle speedo changeover unit that alters the drive to the speedo generator to ensure the speed shown on the speedo head in the cab is the actual speed when changing from high to low or vice versa on the two speed axle. on the left is the speedo electric generator which transmits the cable driven speed electronically to the head in the cab
With the threat of a German land invasion, gun batteries were placed strategically along the south coast. Brownstone Battery was built at Froward Point above Kingswear in 1940 to protect the Dart Estuary and nearby beaches Slapton and Blackpool Sands. The Battery was manned by up to 300 soldiers.
The Battery has two gun positions. Each housed a six-inch gun, taken from a First World War battleship. The guns had a range of over 14 miles, and 13 men were needed to operate each gun. The men worked on a shift system.
The shells containing high explosives were propelled from the guns by 'charges.' These were either cordite, a silk bag filled with smaller bags of explosive, or a cartridge, a brass cylinder filled with explosive.
At the lower position, a miniature railway was built and the track carried shells down the steep slop from the ammunition store to the gun position. The shells were loaded onto a truck or bogey then freewheeled down with gears controlling the speed. An engine and pulley hoisted the truck back up the slope.
There are two searchlight positions at the battery. The reinforced concrete buildings housed powerful searchlights which scanned the sea for enemy ships. Five men operated each searchlight, working on shifts. Below the searchlights, the whole cliff area was covered in barbed wire.
The Battery was decommissioned in the late 1950s and is now managed by the National Trust.
I've been posting a lot of wimpy stuff lately - And I've got more wimpy stuff that's in my "ready to post" folder. But I feel the need to post some serious heavy metal. So I did a little archive diving and found something perfect. There are 42 million pictures of this (it's on the tour), but I'll add mine to the world's collection.

Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1936, it was both the world's largest hydroelectric power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. It was surpassed in both these respects by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1945. It is currently the world's 38th-largest hydroelectric generating station.
This dam, located 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as the Secretary of Commerce, and then later, as the President of the United States. Construction began in 1931, and was completed in 1936, a little more than two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Two Hamilton Sundstrand employees repair Integrated Drive Generators at the company's Miramar, Fla., repair facility.
Originally built in Germany, this fine yacht was fully refitted in the UK to an unusually high standard to the current owner’s requirements for an open-plan, spacious family cruising vessel, capable of long passage making when required. Current ownership 15 years. Interior joinery in the main saloon in English oak, and American oak in the aft cabin with teak floorboards throughout. The yacht has extensively cruised the Caribbean, the east coast of the USA, the UK and the Mediterranean. She also completed the ARC race for which she received a commendation. This very powerful yacht with ocean going capabilities is offered in excellent condition throughout and with all systems fully functional. Powered by a Mercedes Benz 130hp diesel. Equipped with generator, battery charger, converter and full navigation equipment with SSB, chart plotter, radar and B&G autopilot etc. Safety equipment with life raft and dinghy on board. **no longer for sale..**
Wire nuts are the result of the transfer switch outputs, of course. I replaced three original 1971-vintage breakers while I was shutting those circuits down anyway. Note: stranded wire doesn't hold a good sharp bend.
Electrical function generator from Wavetek. Used to send a well-known signal to the polysomnographic system in order to check if the latter correctly worked (it didn't).
Josh and I figured we'd go for a drive into the middle of nowhere to try out the new rig. We took a right somewhere off the KGB road, and wound up finding Site Bay, an old abandoned NIKE missile site. Wow, this place was TRASHED.
Rumored by all the locals to be "creepy and haunted" we proceeded with all the "necessary equipment."
The shoot didn't last very long, and this was the last in the series. While the shutter was open in this shot, a very creepy thing happened..... We first heard a vehicle... and then heard a person yelling... that was creepy, but here's the kicker... When we drove in we had to forge across a mud puddle that had partially iced over. The truck fell through, but still made it out... water over the hood and all. Let me put it this way, there was no way anybody else could've made it through that hole without a seriously modified vehicle (like ours.) We then drove around the entire compound.... there were no other vehicles in there. The nearest house, building, road, or trail is over 5 miles away, and this guy sounded like he was standing 5 feet from us. As we drove out, we went back through the puddle... it was iced over again. No other tracks were found. We were alone in that compound. We have no idea what the yelling was or where the vehicle was. Creepy....

I shot this wind generator on a foggy morning this week. The trees show just how tall one of these units are and notice how a blade tip fades into sky fog.

When they delivered our generator, they left it in the driveway. This shows where they left it and the platform where it was to be installed.
The last section of pipe has been replaced with a larger diameter pipe, as it slowed down the flow too much. This affordable generator is made by Energy Systems & Design and can run on very little water.
I used a flash and some colored gel filters to produce the lighting effects seen here.

Unless I want to tear up a bunch more wall inside and drill through the brick as well, I'm going to have to mount the input socket box about a foot or so in front of the electric meter. The right half (as viewed) of this wood covers an HVAC duct you'll see in the following pictures.
Boy, was routing that flex to outside a PAIN! Almost zero wiggle room to work behind that group of conduit up top, ended up using my borescope camera from outside to make sure I was making correct progress. Getting the wire inside the flex to outside was rather easy, didn't even need my fish tape.
Ready for the faeplate to go on the transfer switch, now that the 10-gauge stranded wire from the input socket is all hooked up.
