Yes, I can build. Feet idea goes to BrickInterest, and the droid arms idea from Brickwielder.
Comment if Fave. Thank you.
I’m astonished that this light-painted shot of a big generator set came out, I was convinced it would be three stops underexposed and out of focus… trying to shoot in the dark using a medium format film camera isn't so simple, it turns out.

The other columbine was originally pink and white. Both have been transformed by DDG [Google's Deep Dream Generator].
Friends have noted that this looks like fun. It is a powerful mix of fun, frustration, excitement and satisfaction. I recommend it to anyone who wants to spend hours and hours fooling around with it. Beware - I think it is addictive.
The shaft on this generator would not move. Eventually a variety of techniques got it free. Here you can see the effort needed. Later the generator will be connected to a steam engine and provide electricity to power antique radios among other things ... finally making the connection between steam and wireless at the NEWSM ( www.NEWSM.org )
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!
Based off an older model of mine, which used to reside in my city, I rennovated this Power Generator for the GTW LUG's Cyberpunk display which was at The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows this past year. Unlike most of my other MOCs this one was made with out the use of LDD or Studio. It was all free hand.
So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.

This was a permission visit after sunrise.
A revisit to a local scrapyard that had loads of barn finds and salvage vehicles. Due to the council and environmental changes, a lot of the stuff had to be removed but there were some bits n pieces left in the buildings.
Generator 47 407 in Moreton Cutting near Didcot with 1O05, the 07:48 Birmingham New Street - Portsmouth
Generator wire holder that allows for easy removal. The customer came up with this idea and made it. I think I'll use this idea again. It's quite clever and effective.

Benjamin Franklin (1750 - Lightning is electrical)
Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician (was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States), postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions.
In 1750 he published a proposal for an experiment to prove that lightning is electricity by flying a kite in a storm that appeared capable of becoming a lightning storm. On May 10, 1752, Thomas-François Dalibard of France conducted Franklin's experiment using a 40-foot-tall (12 m) iron rod instead of a kite, and he extracted electrical sparks from a cloud. On June 15 Franklin may possibly have conducted his well known kite experiment in Philadelphia, successfully extracting sparks from a cloud.
Franklin's electrical experiments led to his invention of the lightning rod.
Luigi Aloisio Galvani (1781 - "Animal Electricity")
Galvani was an Italian physician, physicist and philosopher who lived in Bologna.
With his experiment he discovered that the body of animals is powered by electrical impulses. Galvani named this newly discovered force “animal electricity,” and thus laid foundations for the modern fields of electrophysiology and neuroscience.
Galvani’s contemporaries - including Benjamin Franklin, whose work helped prove the existence of atmospheric electricity - had made great strides in understanding the nature of electricity and how to produce it. Inspired by Galvani’s discoveries, fellow Italian scientist Alessandro Volta would go on to invent, in 1800, the first electrical battery - the voltaic pile - which consisted of brine-soaked pieces of cardboard or cloth sandwiched between disks of different metals.
Thomas Alva Edison (1882 - First Power Station)
Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
In 1878, Edison formed the Edison Electric Light Company (today as General Electric) in New York City with several financiers, including J. P. Morgan and the members of the Vanderbilt family. Edison made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb on December 31, 1879, in Menlo Park. It was during this time that he said: "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."
After devising a commercially viable electric light bulb on October 21, 1879, Edison patented a system for electricity distribution in 1880, which was essential to capitalize on the invention of the electric lamp.
The company established the first investor-owned electric utility in 1882 on Pearl Street Station, New York City. It was on September 4, 1882, that Edison switched on his Pearl Street generating station's electrical power distribution system, which provided 110 volts direct current (DC) to 59 customers in lower Manhattan. Earlier in the year, in January 1882, he had switched on the first steam-generating power station at Holborn Viaduct in London. The DC supply system provided electricity supplies to street lamps and several private dwellings within a short distance of the station.
Edison was a prolific inventor, holding 1,093 US patents in his name. More significant than the number of Edison's patents was the widespread impact of his inventions: electric light and power utilities, sound recording, and motion pictures all established major new industries world-wide. Edison's inventions contributed to mass communication and, in particular, telecommunications. These included a stock ticker, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures.
Nicola Tesla (1891 - Tesla Coil)
Tesla was a Serbian American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
Tesla moved to New York in 1884 and introduced himself to Thomas Edison. Although Tesla and Edison shared a mutual respect for one another, at least at first, Tesla challenged Edison’s claim that current could only flow in one direction (DC, direct current). Tesla claimed that energy was cyclic and could change direction (AC, alternating current), which would increase voltage levels across greater distances than Edison had pioneered. In 1888, Tesla went to work for Westinghouse in order to develop the alternating current system. Westinghouse and Tesla in their design for the first hydroelectric power plant in Niagara Falls.
Around 1891 Tesla invented the Tesla coil, which is an electrical resonant transformer circuit. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits. In 1899 Tesla moved to Colorado Springs, where he would have room for his high-voltage, high-frequency experiments: Tesla was sitting in his laboratory with his "Magnifying transmitter" generating millions of volts.
Tesla invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology, invented electric oscillators, meters, improved lights. He also experimented with X-rays and gave short-range demonstrations of radio communication.
Before General Veers destroyed the Rebels' main power generator, he sent a recon force to scout ahead and take out the rebels guarding the generator.
People have asked how I built the shield generator. Here's the full technique. The outer uses 2x8 plates, with a 2x3 separating one end, and a 1x2-1x2 bracket attaching the curves (I tried using 1x2-1x4s, but the inner ring wouldn't fit on one side with them). Every fifth 2x8 plate has clips inserted to attach flex hose. The inner ring uses 1x4 plateswith a dot and bracked on one end, and a clip on the other. the clips are only half pressed in to their neighbours, so the spacing is 2½ plates at the inside end, and 3 plates at the outer end. Four inner segments are needed for every 5 outer segments. I did find the spacing of the inner segments slightly wider, so when building the full disc, it was necessary to sneak a few extra plates into the outer ring to compensate.
Hope this gives people enough to get started.
Sorry about the multi-coloured 2x8 plates - I used up all the grey ones!

a close up shot of one of the wheels on the gigantic refrigeration generator left behind at the abandoned armour meat packing plant in national city, illinois right outside of east st. louis.
if you look closly on the wheel, you can see the peeling paint remains from the gold pinstriping - they just don't make things like they use too.
YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY COMMENTS!!!
I first wrote a php script sphere generator back in 2005, scaling the idea that Bruce Lowell created to any size. At the time, it required you to have an LDraw viewer to see the results. Jump to 2021, and we now have a live, in-browser preview, layer step through, and mobile support. And you can still download the LDraw file if you want! Check it out at lego.bldesign.org/sphere/
