Basically no one in Nigeria can rely on power from the national or regional grid, so backup generators are essential. This new one was a great boost to our ability to keep functioning at full capacity when NEPA (National Electrical Power Authority, or "Never Expect Power Always") is down.

Millennium Power is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of diesel generator sets powered by Doosan diesel engines, with the power range from 60kva to 700kva.
DOOSAN started producing diesel engines for the first time in 1958. Doosan production facility is in Incheon, Korea and went into full production under the license of MAN technology in 1975, and ISUZU technology in 1979. Furthermore, Doosan began to produce the CNG engine in 1998 so our reinforced line up from Diesel engine to Natural Gas engine could supply more choices and meet the various needs of our customers. Doosan acquired Daewoo Machine in 2005 to strengthen the ability of designing and producing the engine.
General features of doosan diesel engine generator set:
1. Composed of Doosan(Korea) diesel engine and Stamford or MPMC alternator
2. 24V DC start motor and storage battery
3. Brushless, Self-excited, IP23, insulation class H alternator
4. Engine cooling system: water-cooled
5. Key start panel control system as standard, digital auto-start panel is optional
6. 8-hour operation base tank
7. Optional open type or silent type
8. All generating sets are gone through rigorous testing before being released to the market place, including 50% load, 75% load, 100% load , 110% load and all protection function (overspeed stop, high water temperature, low oil pressure, battery charging fail, emergency stop)
For open type, the diesel gen set will be much easier to maintain and repair with more durable performance and longer service life, so the cost performance is higher.
My Dad and I went hiking up to the old dams and powerhouse on Bear Creek a couple of weeks ago. Lovely weather and bit of snow on the ground. We only made it the powerhouse, as the foot bridge looked a bit too slick this time.
Wallingford, Conn. - Picture of the queue of trucks with mobility generators being dispatched Tuesday morning from our staging area.
I understand that some folks were without power 10 days a couple years ago, and we were out 3 1/2 days last year. No more. I had the electrician install a crossover and I have 5 kilowatts here to run the fridge, the TV (if the cable isn't out) assorted lights and my computer. The gas station at the Casino is on generator, so if the 2, 16 gallon tanks in the truck aren't enough, I can get more. We are going to be comfortable this winter...
This photo shows the length of the Old Woodhouselee Tunnel in it's entirety. I've always found straight tunnels misleading. The Innocent in Edinburgh is straight and a wee bit (but not by that much) longer than Glenfarg South, however, because it's dead straight, it looks deceptively shorter. The same can be said for a certain long tunnel that I explored earlier this year, despite it's length being longer than both Glenfarg tunnels put together, due to it's relative straightness, it doesn't initially seem to be that long. However, once you start walking through that one, it's length soon dawns on you as you realise you aren't making much progress when walking through.
This tunnel, on the other hand, isn't all that long at 111 yards. However, it is bigger than the Auchendinny Tunnel which is only 74 yards in length. At a first glance though, this one looks shorter because it's straight, Auchendinny Tunnel appears longer due to the slight curve.
This small AC generator came with the Jensen Model 20 steam engine shown in the previous photos. One day I hope to drive this generator with the engine and light the small bulb on the lamp post.
I got myself a small generator - 3.5 KW - enough to run the TV and refrigerator - I need to get it out of the box, add the wheel and start it up - maybe this weekend.
View from the bedroom window of the cottage. I have never lived somewhere with an en-suite generator before...
We actually we able to walk inside this door and around the actual electromagnets of the generator. There are two turbine-generator systems, each capable of generating 40 Mw of power!
After several trips to Las Vegas, I finally made it to Hoover Dam.
- Engineering: awesome
- Art deco details: awesome
- Dam tour (the longer, more expensive tour): worth it

Video & Description:
Information is quoted from the 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.
