Monster excavator in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh by U A Satish

3 4

This is the walking drag line excavator I saw in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh. There are several coal mines nearby that are active. The mines are highly mechanised..

A 'walking drag line' is an excavator where the bucket is dragged by cables, rather than lifted by an arm. This permits the bucket to be much larger than those on shovels. Drag lines, because of their huge size, cannot move with wheels or bulldozer tracks. They stir using hydraulically operated 'feet', which raise and lower, one at a time. That's why they're called 'walking' drag lines.

Rotary Gold Ore Stamp Mill at North Star Mine Museum and Power House in Grass Valley, CA. This stamp mill uses a rotary vertical inclining wedge instead of a horizontal cam system to raise and drop the stamps to crush the gold ore.

De Remer Water Wheel-100_3884 by Tony Kelsey

De Remer Water Wheel from the "Hole in the Ground Gulch Mine" at Wolf Creek, Oregon. On display at the North Star Mine Museum and Power House in Grass Valley, CA. Very similar to the Pelton Wheel. Note the fins in the bottom of the cup to help make it more efficient and to break up the spray.
