JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. – Tech. Sgt. Robert John Grimes, 87th Civil Engineer Squadron Power Production, monitors the movement of a new generator Aug. 16, 2012, while Carlo Monastero, 87th CES heavy equipment, operates the crane. The new 200-kilowatt generator replaces an antiquated, larger model installed in 2004. The new generator, which backs up a critical fuel pumping station at the installation, uses less fuel and meets Air Force requirements for generators that they be at least 50-percent loaded. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is a major mobility hub for the United States supporting world-wide operations. (U.S. Air Force photo/MSgt. Tracy Lintz)
These are on the Nevada side, and there are about as many others on the Arizona side behind the wall at the back.
We took the short tour of the dam (it was longer before 9/11). A guide led us to an elevator that took us 500 feet (150m) down into the canyon wall. Then we walked down a long tunnel drilled out of rock. At the end of it we saw these huge hydroelectric generators. This 650-foot long room is on the Nevada side of the dam. (The Arizona side has something similar.) The generators are turned by the force of the river running through huge pipes near the base of the dam - which at that point is 660 feet (201m) thick.

This is my CO2 generator. The bottle contains a fermenting mixture of sugar, water and yeast. As the yeast metabolize the sugars, they produce CO2 (carbon dioxide), which then travels through the air tube at the top of the bottle and into my aquarium. This fuels the photosynthesis process in my aquatic plants. The plants in turn grow lush and green, use up any excess nutrients in the water, help to maintain clean and healthy water, and give off oxygen for the fish.
The new mounting bracket for the A/C compressor was used to mount the generator above the right valve cover. This bracket was cut and extended forward 1 & 7/8 inch to line up the belt with the front grove of the water pump pulley.
Russ also built a brace to bolt to the front head bolt and pick up the rear mount of the generator.
The upper and lower double pullys were from a power steering equipped Buick and if this car had power steering another pully could be added.
In Korea 1951 I was in the1st Caverlry division H& S Company 120 combat engineers for awhile and was transferred to Oklahoma 45 National Guard Division when the First Cav rotated back to the states because I didn't have enough time in. I was a draftee. We maintained all kinds of equipment including generators for higher echelons .
Designed by Candlepower Forum member Martin (German Flashaholic extraordinaire), and built by Jeff Drobits, this driver circuit enables the dynamo hub to run LED lights, which run much brighter than halogen lights.
This is portable, and can be used on the Schmidt hub (by way of quick-connect wiring).
This is an AC generator from around 1895.
Please leave a comment I do appreciate them and lets me know what people think. I have so many photos and almost no comments. It also lets me know what pictures are best.

This is World War Two Type-K/Q Decoy Bombing Airfield used from 1940 (Type-K consisted of a replica Airfield with various Dummy Aircraft and Type-Q displayed a sequence of lights, when seen at night resembled an active airfield) It was also referred to as 'Swaffham', and was used to protect nearby RAF Marham Airfield. It closed in 1943 when RAF North Pickenham Airfield was constructed, although the concrete Shelters remained until 1968. Dummy Wellingtons were moved around by tractors, which proved convincing enough to result in two huge landmine craters !
The first Bombing Decoy Airfields were known as K Sites, these were for day use and were set out on large fields, heath or warrens, sometimes on disused World War Two Airfields. Props would include Dummy Aircraft, it would depend on which Airfield was being protected. There would be mock Bomb Dumps and Fuel Stores, the surface would be levelled to look like a Landing Ground. Impressed civilian aircraft, such as de Havilland DH Moths, were employed on some Sites to resemble de Havilland Tiger Moth Military Training Aircraft. Large sheets of canvas were painted and laid on the ground to represent Hangars and in some cases, old and disused vehicles were set around the Site along with Gun Pits and Camouflage Nets. These 'Dummy Airfields' looked very realistic from the air. The Crews had their own buildings and trucks. Most K Sites were closed down between 1942 to 1943 although a few were still in use in 1944.
Even at ground level they could deceive. 'A young lad, out for a walk with family and friends in the Summer of 1940, he spotted some Wellington Bombers dispersed on an Airfield near Thetford. For three hours they waited for one to start up and take-off. A few days later, his father came home laughing his head off and said “ We might well have waited for those planes to take off last Sunday, they were Dummies !”
Q Sites, which were sometimes on the same site as a K Site, but were for night use, from the air they would have looked like a Runway Flarepath and, for authenticity, had light patterns that included obstruction lights, these were red and placed on Hangars and other tall buildings to stop our aircraft landing on them by mistake. Later a bar of red lights was placed across the Flarepath and could be seen when on approach. This was added after a number of our own Aircraft had attempted to land, sometimes with fatal consequences, some of the early Dummy Flarepaths were created using Gooseneck Flares.
The Q Site Crew had a powerful Chance Light (similar to a small searchlight) on top of their Control Bunker, codenamed ''Scarecrow'', and this could be used to simulate aircraft taking off, landing and taxiing. Power was provided by generators within the Control Bunker, built to a similar design to a small Nissen Hut, but each one appeared to differ. Some Sites had a Control Bunker above ground whereas on others it was below ground, and some Sites had both types. One end was covered by tin sheeting, which was the Operations Room with the Runway Light Controls and a Telephone connected to the Headquarters Station, there were some basic comforts such as a Tortoiseshell stove and table, etc. The other room housed the Generator and was covered with steel sheeting or arched pre-formed concrete, feed pipes ran to the Generator from the fuel tank outside. Normally there were two 15in Ducts for air intake and one for the exhaust. Between the rooms there was a passageway that led outside, protected by a Blast Wall. There was another exit, sometimes vertical from the Operations Room. ''Q'' Sites were still being built for the RAF and USAAF in 1943 to 1944, with the last ones closing down at the end of the war.
In order to draw the enemy bombers from our towns and cities, Dummy Towns known as ''Starfish'' Sites were set up on open land between one and eight miles from the intended target. In daylight the equipment resembled chicken sheds, etc, but when ignited at night the boilers and fire baskets looked just like bombs exploding, incendiaries burning and buildings on fire, these effects could be made to last a number of hours. ''QL'' Lights were added to Starfish Sites but on their own sites, were designed so that at night they could look like factories, marshalling yards, shipyards, steelworks, etc. ''QL'' Lights ingeniously included welding flashes, railway signals (red and green) red railway crossing gate lights, tram car electrical flashes, standard lamps, and they could also be made to look like open skylights, doors and windows where someone carelessly had not complied with the Blackout regulations.
A later model of Telephone exchange tone generator. Reading the plates, it seems to incorporate a Dynomotor that runs off 50v DC and generates 75V AC @ 20 Hz (ringing Tone) and the dynomotor also drives a tone generator that produces 400 CPS (Hz) 'engaged tone' and 175 CPS (Hz) for 'dialing tone'. The switches at the end are operated by cams to produce the necessary interuptions to the tones.
D1501 aka 47402 performed at the 2013 Mid Hants diesel gala. The veteran (and second oldest) 47 is seen waiting for the single line at Medstead and Four Marks. This loco gave me a few nightmares in its day, it wasn't until 1988 that I managed to get it for haulage, little did I know then that it would get preserved!
