This is one of the rotors from the array of electric generators. I think it was said that this rotor weighs in at 20 tons, and it takes both cranes built into this area to lift it.

Just a Station I designed, nothing fancy, but I'm happy with it.
It will be bricked up in the near future.

The Ocracoke lighthouse was built in 1823, and is the oldest one still in operation on the North Carolina coast. The little shed next to the lighthouse once stored oil for the Fresnel lens light, and now stores a generator (electricity) for emergencies.

Ocracoke village has about 800 year-round residents - and about 3000 overnight guests in hotel rooms & suites, rental condos & cottages and then some more at the three campsites during the "high season."
When we first visited, in 1981, there was still a real sense of an old village, and you could buy fresh seafood, the catch of the day, in several places on the harbor, Silver Lake. Although the Coast Guard and the ferry landings took up much of the harbor on one side of the almost circular "lake" along with a few docking sites for visiting sailors, most of the harbor had docks for boats belonging to the villagers, a few small, locally owned stores and hotels.... I wish I had taken pictures of the village then.
This summer, I decided to record what I think of as the Ocracoke belonging to the islanders....no "for rent" signs on the fence, personal touches, a few historical sites. The fishing industry is mostly gone, and the economy is now built on tourism. The fishermen (and women!) have learned to catch a different kind of fish. :-)
Hide those ugly wires and also now this is on DC remember to mark up which lead is positive and which is negative. I also soldered on an LED to demonstrate it working.

This synchronous generator 3000V/200kVA was installed in hydro power plant Viska (Frýdlant, Czech Republic) in 1920. This machine is in operation for more than 90 years without failure!
I spent much of my time in the generator room. Three generators One online, One on Standby, and One down for maintenance.
XLProjects member Project Cargo & Yacht Transport, the Istanbul, Turkey, based XLProjects member company, just concluded its logistics project of transporting Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) from Spain to Pakistan. It had acquired the contract on a door-to-door basis, which included road transportation in Spain, transport by sea from ports in Spain to the Qasim Port in Karachi, Pakistan, and inland transport in Pakistan, apart from security and escort services throughout.
The project started in February of 2012 and came to an end in November 2012. It was by no means an easy task, especially its last leg in Pakistan, the country which had little previous experience and know how in such logistics projects, without mentioning the worsening security situation and dangerous roads.
The total size of the project can be gauged from the fact that it included 370 oversized pieces, weighing 7576 ton with a total cbm of 70,574.
Each wind turbine blade was 45 meters long. Each tower of a WTG consisted of three sections, top, middle and bottom. The length of each top section was 30 meters, middle section 30 meters, bottom section 18 meters, each weighing 33 ton, 50 ton and 45 ton respectively. Each nacelle of WTG weighed 72 tons.
The total distance covered between manufacturing facilities and erection site was 14,256 km.
As a matter of policy, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport had established a separate desk for project coordination and had deputed teams of experienced employees at each end of the project including at the origin in Spain and the destination in Pakistan. Each of the hundreds of pieces was handled and moved under the supervision of the personnel of Project Cargo & Yacht Transport.
Aware of the fact of the lack of technical expertise and specialized transport equipment in Pakistan, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport started working on the project months before the transport actually started and arranged training sessions and simulations for its own employees in order to equip them with specialized knowledge needed for moving WTGs.
After Project Cargo & Yacht Transport was satisfied with the training of its employees it sent a team of experts to Pakistan in order to train its local sub-contractors where they also conducted intensive training sessions in Pakistan.
As the transport of WTGs is a new phenomenon in Pakistan, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport paid the utmost attention to make sure that all equipment was in place before the arrival of vessel at port in Pakistan. At this stage it realized the inadequacy of trailers that were long enough on which blades could be transported. Therefore, in collaboration with its local partners, new and innovative long trailers were designed and built with enough length to be able to transport blades safely. Special techniques were used whereby the rare wheels could also be turned at places required.
Moreover, because of the lack of specialized webbing slings for lifting tower sections and other safety material, the same were imported from Europe.
It is heartening to note that the project was concluded ahead of schedule, despite the frequent labor strikes in Pakistan, road closures by ethnic groups in the province of Sindh, and the overall scarcity of transport and handling equipment in the country. Such gaps were closed by resorting to sometimes working longer hours and multiple shifts, including working at night. Another factor which the company management looked into prior to the start of the project was the security at port. In addition to the existing port security, additional security personnel were deputed. The additional security personnel worked in shifts, day and night, in order to make sure that the precious components were kept intact.
Apart from the main WTGs, Project Cargo & Yacht Transport also transported – again on door to door basis – other auxiliaries necessary for WTG erection and employees accommodation. These included heavylift cranes, cement batching plants along with the required trucks and camping containers for project site. The cranes were transported from Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey, while the batching plant and camping containers were transported from Turkey.
The management at Project Cargo & Yacht Transport is upbeat about and gives special emphasis on the unique achievement by completing the said project in that it emerged as a pioneer in this sector by having accomplished the project in a very difficult part of the world.
The project offers new possibilities of business to the company as an entity which has shown that it can accomplish one of the most difficult logistics projects in the most difficult parts of the world. And that too, with zero damage to the components!
The management of Project Cargo & Yacht Transport would like to extend its thanks and congratulations to all its partners and sub-contractors in Spain and Pakistan for their support in the impressive implementation of the project.

Front light under the fender; fender to the down tube; down tube to the bb shell; around the bb into the chain stay; chain stay to the rear fender at the bridge; under the rear fender up and around and out at the tail light. What a lot of work, especially when you don't really know more than the merest rudiments of the workings of electricity. Lesson learned: check your ground.

a commercial-style generator at a small free-standing bank in a strip center ... although the bank remained closed for business - guess things like vault doors etc had to be kept powered up

The Science Museum of Minnesota has a wave generator. You can adjust the frequency and amplitude of the oscillator that generates the waves. You can also tinker with the "seafloor" profile. I found that a large amplitude, low frequency oscillation, combined with a gradual decrease in "sea" depth led to the biggest and most clearly defined waves.
