my work 'low billions generator' in the show 'counting bone' in sydney may 2015...
short video here vimeo.com/125633293
this paper construction work hybridises the classic split-flap sign mechanism with the japanese craft of karakuri - clockwork and hand-wound robots - to produce a fluttering pulse of numerals activated by a handclap, a laugh or a stomp on the floor...

Some genius came up with the idea of constructing small hydro-electric generators in the rivers of Laos. Apparently most of them are Chinese in origin.
Generator 47417 at Sheffield running around its coaches on the 08:15 to Glasgow on the 5th of February 1986
Sorry its blurred :(
running for 12 days during Hurricane Sandy power outage - Highly recommended - it is quieter (the others on the street were like boat engines) and a life saver!
**higher wattage would be better and recommended
my neighbors' borrowed gasoline-fueled electrical generator ... the heavy-duty lime green extension cord is mine, runs over the fence and into my house so I could run a light and some fans, charge the mobile cellphone, laptop ... 4-5 hours in the evenings, two houses ... 4-1/2 days of the 17 days we were out ... we each bought fuel ... and even though it is behind a solid fence, it is still chained to the pine tree - it's not like anyone driving by can't hear where each generator is - they are NOT quiet at all!
Underneath the Chicago Fire Department's Engine 60 in the Hyde Park neighborhood, there's an old Cold War remnant: a large bunker that could have housed people for up to two weeks in the event that nuclear fallout sent everyone underground.
Here, Kyle Bolyard checks out an old Onan brand generator in the underground vault. He asked Curious City about fallout shelters in Chicago.
The emergency generator being delivered to the side door of the new Crossbar telephone exchange (exchanges run on 50v battery power) being built at Bexhill on sea. About 1971.
Taken with a tiny minolta 16 sub miniature camera and scanned from the old negative.
This picture is one of a possible series, taken in the 70’s and 80’s.
None of them are commercially sensitive, as all the exchanges no longer exist, and only show parts that were visited by the general public on open days.
First test of the turbine on 14 white LEDs, showed that above 100 mA (total), LEDs doesn't increased brightness linear with increasing current as expected.
At one point, current still increase but resistance/impedance of the generator is pretty high to supply that current without loses at generator itself (overheating coils).
It is not so obvious from brightness of the LEDs, but it is obvious by looking at frequency vs. current intensity.
Some data still missing - not much wind past few days to check all possible wind speeds, and all possible measurements.
I am expecting similar situation with accumulator battery charging. Those LEDs has threshold about 2.5V (not sure exactly), and below that voltage, no current flow at all.
Exactly that will happen with battery charging, but it will depend of how empty or full battery is.
So, proper electronic have to be made in order to maintain proper current and protect against overload/overcharge for both: generator and accumulator.
Here the plasma generator is controlled and supported by a maintenance drone (yes, the Aeldari have them but do not use in combat).

USS Albacore (AGSS-569)
Portsmouth, NH
USS Albacore (AGSS-569) was a unique research submarine that pioneered the American version of the teardrop hull form (sometimes referred to as an "Albacore hull") of modern submarines. The revolutionary design was derived from extensive hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing, with an emphasis on underwater speed and maneuverability.
We believe this was the power generating room (the blue room) for the Buckner building in Whittier, Alaska. It had a large muffler (painted red).hanging from the cieling. We think the people that took the generator out are responsible for the hole. The rest of the the mess is due to time and destructive people that have torn the place apart over the last 40 years.
