Love the idea of wind generators..but hate the intrusive reality..like a monolith or the sentinel from Arthur C Clark´s novel..
A Kipor KDE 19STA diesel 14.4KW electric generator, which cost VND 83 million, including installation.
This rotor is for the 47.5 MW unit 1 of the Budarhals hydro power project in Iceland. Due to come on-line in January 2014
This application generates random pixel landscapes. You can play with them by adding fog, changing the colours of the landscape to see how it looks in another season, adding rainbow and rain as well.
Please, check the application here:
www.gilbertomoya.es/pixel_landscape_generator.html
This application was made by using ActionScript 3 programming language.
Here you have part of the code:
HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF ONE OBJECT FROM THE LIBRARY TO THE STAGE IN FLASH USING AS3:
for (var i:Number = 0; i < 28; i++)
//28 is the number of instances
{
_Pixel = new pixel_mc();
container.addChild(_Pixel);
_Pixel.x = i * 20;
_Pixel.transform.colorTransform = miCambiodeColor;
miCambiodeColor.redOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
miCambiodeColor.greenOffset = 190;
miCambiodeColor.blueOffset = Math.round((Math.random() * 100) - 50) + 100;
//the last lines give random colours to each single instance of the object
}
//If you have any question feel free to ask me

This is a smoke generator. They were designed to obscure air craft carriers during world war II. They are so effective they can obscure a carrier, or a building in a few seconds. Check it out!
Perkins is one of the world's leading diesel engine manufactures since 1932, nearly 400,000 units for one year, quickly occupied the world market for the full specification, good structure, reliable performance, easy maintenance, low exhaust, long period maintenance. In the auto car, construction, agricultural, industrial and marine markets, major original equipment manufacture choose Perkins Engines because of its fuel, nature gas elding for reliable and durable use.
Benefits of Perkins Diesel Generator
1. Function stability credibility, service convenience;
2. Low operating cost results in optional economy;
3. Gets the job done wherever you are;
4. Ease of installation, operation and maintenance.
5. Prime Power: This rating is for the supply of continuous electrical power (at variable load). There is no limit on the annual hours of operation and 10% overload power can be supplied for 1 hour in 12.
6. Standby power of perkins generator: This rating is for the supply of continuous electrical power (at variable load) in the event of a utility power failure. No overload is permitted.
7. Rated voltage: Available with customer requirements.
The control module gives digital readouts of:
Generator voltage;
Output frequency;
Engine speed;
Battery voltage;
Engine hours run.
Note:
1. The engine coolant temperature used temperature meter display;
2. The engine oil pressure used oil pressure meter display;
3. Generator current used current meter display and used change switch for each phase displayed separately.
Now, to build 4 more of these things, and attach them together...
Pretty much, this entire generator section is gonna be around 48 studd long, and a giant mass of white curved slopes and tiles (shiny new ones at that). The main body is going to actually wrap around the generator section, leaving the top and bottom area exposed.....or, at least this is how it is in my head lol
A simple sine wave generator based on a Wien bridge configuration of resistors and capacitors. Both voltage and frequency are variable.
What is L1, you ask? Why, it is a simple flashlight lamp.
Why doesn't it light up, you ask? Why, because it is used as a continuously-variable resistor. It serves as the feedback control component by changing the current it passes as the circuit tries to drive the frequency away from the setting you've selected.
This is an old Westinghouse electricity generator in the basement of the Simon Pearce mill and glassworks in Quechee, Vermont. It's powered by a small waterfall in the river next to the building. I'm not sure, but I think this is what provides much of the electricity that powers the glass ovens. Apparently the generator was rescued from an old defunct mill in Nova Scotia a few years ago.

Wind Generators on the Mountain Daegwanryeong were built by Korean Governors. because it winds over the peak all the time, so it's the best place to build them on the Mountain Peak.
In the right center, there are some power station workers. They put the massive generators into perspective.
Since all the utility poles burnt during our giant wildfire in 2020 - the few remaining houses left standing had no electrical power, nor land line phone service. PG&E loaned us a generator (for over a year), while they installed underground utilities on Bald Rock Road.
The whole electrical system for our neighborhood needed to be rebuilt, spanning over 60 miles of mountain terrain, so this was no small task for the utility company.
This solar generator is not totally perfect, nor quite. We went through 3 loaner units of this model, during our one year. They do have their issues and we found out the hard way. These solar models sure do beat smelling and hearing a diesel generator running full time.
1.) These solar units do have a diesel engine to charge up and top off - when sunlight isn't adequate enough, like during short or cloudy days. Most days the diesel kicks on for a few hours in the afternoon. Being outside, near it, smelling the fumes while gardening or doing yard work will be unpleasant.
2.) Winter time means rain, snow and very few days with full sun, so you can expect the diesel engine to be running almost all day long. And the fuel delivery to be every week, at the least.
3.) During the triple digit heat of summer (weeks of it) the multiple batteries get so hot inside their metal cases that the whole solar system starts to fail. Which means it defaults to the diesel running full time. So having windows open during the hottest days w/ the diesel smell wafting indoors is not ideal and you must plan to keep those window shut while the beast is running.
4.) Various components fail on these solar units, so there are times when you can loose electricity suddenly and unexpected. Waiting for the repair men and parts can take days or a week, so in the meantime, you'll need an alternate power source.
The Fairbanks-Morse model 32 E 12 two-cylinder 2-cycle diesel generator located at the Ashtabula County Antique Engine Club show grounds in Wayne Township, Ohio. June, 2009.

The diesel generator for the Cork internet Exchange (CIX) data centre. Note the top of the exhaust is slightly askew - this was the moment when the power was cut to the building and the generator automatically kicked in.
09/2016 Neptune Aviation Services, Alamogordo, NM. Thanks for allowing me to take pictures of A/C and the MD-3. Worked on these in Ubon Thailand 1973. Use to watch the sparks fly out, while playing on the load bank. Three DC gen for 2100 amps and a 165 amp AC 400hz. Flip the load switches and clean the engine out. Pain to change a generator. :)
