This application was made by using ActionScript 3 programming language.
Here you have part of the code:
HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF ONE OBJECT FROM THE LIBRARY TO THE STAGE IN FLASH USING AS3:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 28; i++)
//28 is the number of instances
{
_Pixel = new pixel_mc();
container.addChild(_Pixel);
_Pixel.x = i * 20;
_Pixel.transform.colorTransform = miCambiodeColor;
miCambiodeColor.redOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
miCambiodeColor.greenOffset = 190;
miCambiodeColor.blueOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
//the last lines give random colours to each single instance of the object
}
//If you have any question feel free to ask me

This is an old Westinghouse electricity generator in the basement of the Simon Pearce mill and glassworks in Quechee, Vermont. It's powered by a small waterfall in the river next to the building. I'm not sure, but I think this is what provides much of the electricity that powers the glass ovens. Apparently the generator was rescued from an old defunct mill in Nova Scotia a few years ago.

Swansea Bay CHL/Coast Defence Radar Station. The Coast Defence/Chain Home Low chain was set up to provide radar plotting of both shipping and aircraft movements and operated on the same 1.5 m wavelength as CHL stations. The CD/CHL stations were originally manned solely by the Army, or jointly by all three services, until the RAF assumed responsibility for them. A 60 Group (RAF) Statement Map (2nd edition) identifies Swansea Bay as a CHL (Type 2) Station.The equipment was housed in a building sharing many similarities with the brick CHL combined transmitter/receiver block, but the gantry supporting the aerial array was mounted on top of the block rather than on the ground with four buttresses for support. Three concrete buildings survive at the Swansea Bay site on the east side of a public footpath running along the ridge that overlooks Swansea Bay. The largest of these, at the north end of the site, was the operations block which is of the standard design illustrated in the diagram above. It is divided into three rooms with some of the windows retaining their metal shutters. The building is completely empty apart from some wiring remnants. A 10 foot high metal gantry on the roof would have mounted the radar array.The power house is located a few yards to the south, this is a smaller rectangular concrete building with a blast protected door at one end and small vents high in each wall. As this station was not connected to mains electricity this building would have housed a diesel generator. All that remains now is the concrete engine bed. An identical building stands 100 yards to the south east close to an electricity pylon. This would have housed a standby generator which would have been used if the main set failed.
H Building
Picture Taken on a site visit with MRATHS
Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre

Since all the utility poles burnt during our giant wildfire in 2020 - the few remaining houses left standing had no electrical power, nor land line phone service. PG&E loaned us a generator (for over a year), while they installed underground utilities on Bald Rock Road.
The whole electrical system for our neighborhood needed to be rebuilt, spanning over 60 miles of mountain terrain, so this was no small task for the utility company.
This solar generator is not totally perfect, nor quite. We went through 3 loaner units of this model, during our one year. They do have their issues and we found out the hard way. These solar models sure do beat smelling and hearing a diesel generator running full time.
1.) These solar units do have a diesel engine to charge up and top off - when sunlight isn't adequate enough, like during short or cloudy days. Most days the diesel kicks on for a few hours in the afternoon. Being outside, near it, smelling the fumes while gardening or doing yard work will be unpleasant.
2.) Winter time means rain, snow and very few days with full sun, so you can expect the diesel engine to be running almost all day long. And the fuel delivery to be every week, at the least.
3.) During the triple digit heat of summer (weeks of it) the multiple batteries get so hot inside their metal cases that the whole solar system starts to fail. Which means it defaults to the diesel running full time. So having windows open during the hottest days w/ the diesel smell wafting indoors is not ideal and you must plan to keep those window shut while the beast is running.
4.) Various components fail on these solar units, so there are times when you can loose electricity suddenly and unexpected. Waiting for the repair men and parts can take days or a week, so in the meantime, you'll need an alternate power source.
