This is how they did it back in the good ol' days when a generator had to be moved from one spot to another. Since it is on a sled - I am assuming that it was last used during the winter months. I found this gem up in the 40 mile country in Alaska. I thought that some of my Flickr friends might get a kick out of it's size. These days a 2000 watt generator is easily lifted and transported anywhere. Many people use them for camping out, or for emergency situations. It sure beats hooking up the horses, then hooking up to a sled, in order to haul power out to a remote site - like they had to do during the gold rush days.

Day 80
We are off grid. This is the generator. It replaced two smaller generators that were dying a quick death. We carried it on a trailer from the UK to France. It was a very slow trip. When we got it here we couldn't get it up the hill due to the drive being very wet and muddy. Phil asked around about getting a tractor to get the trailer up the hill. The local mayor said he could do it and would be around in a few days. The mayor came about a week later a day before we had to leave. He said he'd come back first thing the next day when the ground was cold. We were so happy when he came and brought it up the drive. I could have kissed him!! He helped us roll it into place in the garage.
We took one of the old generators back to the UK. On the way (still in France) we suddenly heard a horrible screaching noise! Phil stopped and found the generator had fallen through the floor boards of the trailer. We struggeled to lift it but to no avail. Fortunately, this happened in front of a garage. Phil offered them the generator if they could help us get it out. They had a jack and lifted the trailer to get it out.
Lots more happened on that trip that I will never forget. The one thing I got from it was how nice the French really are and we were grateful!
Only full telphoto shots show how BIG the disused generating hall of Didcot A power station really is. It dominates the landscape and only short trains can be used in a composition at this angle. Even a 3 car unit would be a bit too long

When the HST's took over the main ECML services alot of loco's were displaced to other duties.
The Deltics were removed from service fairly smartly but the Class 47's had further use and were moverd to Gateshead and deployed on Trans-Pennine duties and were generally spruced up and most were given names related to the North East.

I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.
i dont live in poverty, i got a little bit of money and i've got a healthy body. I'm not going to let stuff get me upset, and i wont let all the little things get me depressed.
when i was a young boy i got a stereo and i taped all the songs straight off the radio.
the sounds that the bands made, and the melodies is all i need to make me feel free.
sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, or a little upset all inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got food in your belly.

From March till May 2014 Dutch artist Theo Jansen exhibits his stunning work of so-called 'Strandbeesten' at the E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek (Electricity Factory) in The Hague, the Netherlands.
In 1990, Theo Jansen (born 1948) began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known as Strandbeest (Dutch: strand=beach; beest=beast). His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself. What was at first a rudimentary breed has slowly evolved into a generation of machines that are able to react to their environment. Constructed as intricate assemblages of piping, wood, and wing-like sails, Jansen's creations are constantly being improved and have become excellently adapted to their sandy beach environment.

Op vrijdag 14 maart 2014 opende in de Electriciteitsfabriek de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest" rond het werk van kunstenaar en uitvinder Theo Jansen. De expositie is een absolute aanrader! Tijdens de opening deed Kamerkoor Kwintessens uit Den Haag er nog een schepje magie bovenop en klonk het prachtige "Da pacem Domine" van Arvo Pärt in de gigantische turbinehal.
Theo Jansen is een Nederlandse kunstenaar-uitvinder die vooral bekendheid geniet vanwege zijn zogenaamde "Strandbeesten". Deze spectaculaire wezens zijn gebouwd van pvc-buizen en plastic flessen, en lijken echt te leven. Sinds 1990 probeert Theo Jansen in zijn kunst levende wezens zo goed mogelijk te benaderen. Het resultaat zijn reusachtige geraamtes gemaakt van vaak honderden pvc-buizen. De geraamtes bewegen op windenergie. Zij lopen op dezelfde manier als wezens uit de natuur.
Tot begin mei 2014 presenteert Jansen zijn werk in de industriële en poëtische turbinehal van de E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek in Den Haag, waar het maakproces van een nieuw Strandbeest van dichtbij te volgen is. In de hal construeert Jansen een groot, nieuw dier: de Animaris Suspendisse (10 x 4 meter, bij 4 meter hoog). Een uitgestrekte zandlaag vormt de werkvloer om het nieuwe beest uit te proberen. Zeven andere forse strandbeesten bewegen zich, aan de hand van een bezoeker, voort op de begane grond.
Als in een laboratorium experimenteert Jansen met electriciteisbuis, tape, tie-raps en patflessen. Al twintig jaar toetst Jansen de vernuftige proefjes om tot de techniek te komen waarmee ooit zijn kudde, misschien wel geheel zelfstandig, de duinen kan onderhouden. Een droom die hem drijft om door te zoeken naar nieuwe technieken en ontwikkelingen.
In de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest", op de eerste verdieping van de fabriek, wordt een historisch overzicht getoond van de evolutie en het maakproces van de dieren aan de hand van een paleontologisch veld met fossielen. Film, foto’s en video materiaal lichten de ontstaansgeschiedenis toe. Openingstijden van de tentoonstelling zijn van vrijdag t/m zondag van 14:00 tot 22:00 uur. Dagelijks wordt er om 20:00 uur een rondleiding gegeven door Theo Jansen zelf.
Begin mei wordt de kudde, dan een dier rijker, uitgeleid naar zee waarna de dieren weer wind kunnen vangen en uitgelaten langs de kustlijn kunnen paraderen.

It did not stand there alone, I just take pic the nearest against the blue sky to note the chill feeling I had. There are a lot of wind turbines in China, they did not work not because of the technology nor policy but the low price of oil and weather sometime.
With the closing of PLANET 13 city, we have a very special new stage opening this Sunday: Generator Lab
