Recognizing the link between electricity production and economic growth - and the impact both have on security and stability - the U.S. government and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, have sought ways to improve electricity production and distribution. The Kandahar Bridging Solution provides diesel-powered generators at two small power plants in the city of Kandahar. One plant is located at Bagh-E Pol; the other is across town at the Shurandam Industrial Park. A U.S.-based contractor operates and maintains the two power plants with USACE oversight. Staff Sgt. Fenix Batista and Sgt. Koutodjo Ayivi are the only soldiers who live and work at the small plant at Bagh-E Pol. They serve as both prime power production specialists and contracting officer's technical representatives.
The freighter Grand Island was sold to Auxiliary Power Corp. of New York -- records differ as to whether she was intended as an mobile power generator for shoreside communities, or as a storage hulk, but it appears neither plan came to fruition before the boat, now named Poweraux Chris, was towed overseas for scrapping.

In order to replace the lovable 328 of the late 80's, Ferrari's next product really had to get inventive. The 348 was an interesting product of the company, but often forgotten, overshadowed mostly by the successful F355 that replaced it, and the classical lines of the 328 it replaced.
The 348, badged as the rather unfortunately chosen 348TB for the coupé, Trasversale Berlinetta (or Tuberculosis, okay I'm sorry!) and 348TS, Spider, for the Targa versions, entered the market in 1989 to replace the 1985 328, which itself was a development of the 308 that dated back to 1975. The 348 featured a naturally aspirated 3.4L version of the Ferrari quad-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder V8 engine. As with its predecessors, the model number was derived from this configuration, with the first two digits being the displacement and the third being the number of cylinders.
The engine, which produced 300hp, was mounted longitudinally and coupled to a transverse manual gearbox, like the Mondial T with which the 348 shared many components. This was a significant change for Ferrari, with most previous small Ferraris using a transverse engine with longitudinal transmission. The T in the model name 348TB and TS refers to the transverse position of the gearbox. Overall, 2,895 examples of the 348 tb and 4,230 of the 348 ts were produced.
The 348's styling differed from previous models with straked side air intakes and rectangular taillights resembling the Testarossa. The F355 that replaced it returned to the styling cues of the 328 with round tail lights and rounded side air scoops. Fifty-seven "Challenge" models were built for owners who wanted a more "track-ready" car.
The 348 was fitted with dual-computer engine management using twin Bosch Motronic ECUs, double-redundant anti-lock brakes, and self-diagnosing air conditioning and heating systems. Late versions built after 1993 have Japanese-made starter motors and Nippondenso power generators to improve reliability, as well as the battery located within the front left fender for better weight distribution.
However, all these developments and more to the Ferrari formula eventually came to the development of the company's next big hit to show that it wasn't an ageing automotive dinosaur producing the same archaic designs. In 1994, the company's latest magnum-opus, the F355, burst onto the scene and set the entire motoring world ablaze. A car more manageable than the F40, but still possessing that spark that had kept the Ferrari badge going through those slow years in the late-70's and through the 80's.
With the release of the F355, the 348 seemed almost pedestrian and was axed in 1995 after 8,844 members had been built. Although some felt that the 348 would be blessed with instant classic status like the 328 it replaced, the 348 had trouble finding a gap in the preservation market, leaving it to fall into comparative obscurity. Like the Mondial, the 456 and the Testarossa, the 348 is a car that is often forgotten, outdone by the stylish F40 and the mighty F355's of the 1990's. Because of this, the 348 is a hard car to come by, and even when people do come across it, it's often mistaken for a 355 or a Testarossa.
But to be honest, hopefully someday the 348 will find itself some true classic status among the many great Ferrari cars that have preceded and succeeded it, after all, it's still a Ferrari, and on merit alone that's worth the price of admission!
In the back corner of the machinery room at the McMyler coal unloader was this relic of a steam engine powered generator. Boy, would I have liked to see this operate!
A single cylinder, double acting steam engine coupled to a generator. I couldn't tell if DC or AC current was generated here as all of the electrical portions of the generator (IE: copper) were removed by scrappers.

POPE ARMY AIRFIELD, N.C. -- A 45,000-pound Federal Aviation Administration power generator bound for San Juan, Puerto Rico, awaits loading on a C-5 Super Galaxy on Green Ramp here Sept. 27. While loading, the aircrew discovered technical issues with the cargo which prevented a safe loading operation and delayed the load until Sept. 28. The crew and aircraft are from the 22nd Airlift Squadron, which is part of the 60th Air Mobility Wing at Travis Air Force Base, Calif. The generator will be used to supply power for air traffic control operations in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria's strike on the island, ensuring the steady flow of relief supplies. Airmen in the 43d AMS also received and palletized water and meals which will be delivered along with the generator. (U.S. Air Force photo/Marc Barnes)

Wood gas is a syngas fuel which can be used as a fuel for furnaces, stoves and vehicles in place of gasoline, diesel or other fuels. During the production process biomass or other carbon-containing materials are gasified within the oxygen-limited environment of a wood gas generator to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. These gases can then be burnt as a fuel within an oxygen rich environment to produce carbon dioxide, water and heat. In some gasifiers this process is preceded by pyrolysis, where the biomass or coal is first converted to char, releasing methane and tar rich in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
The first wood gasifier was apparently built by Gustav Bischof in 1839. The first vehicle powered by wood gas was built by Thomas Hugh Parker in 1901. Around 1900, many cities delivered syngas (centrally produced, typically from coal) to residences. Natural gas began to be used only in 1930.
Wood gas vehicles were used during World War II, as a consequence of the rationing of fossil fuels. In Germany alone, around 500,000 "producer gas" vehicles were in use at the end of the war. Trucks, buses, tractors, motorcycles, ships and trains were equipped with a wood gasification unit. In 1942 (when wood gas had not yet reached the height of its popularity), there were about 73,000 wood gas vehicles in Sweden, 65,000 in France, 10,000 in Denmark, and almost 8,000 in Switzerland. In 1944, Finland had 43,000 "woodmobiles", of which 30,000 were buses and trucks, 7,000 private vehicles, 4,000 tractors and 600 boats.
Wood gasifiers are still manufactured in China and Russia for automobiles and as power generators for industrial applications. Trucks retrofitted with wood gasifiers are used in North Korea in rural areas, particularly on the roads of the east coast.
This was built by the LTTE during war time,to generate electricity from the out flow of Iranamadu tank.
Terminal Commerce Building / North American Building / 401 North Broad (1930)
401 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA (northeast corner of Callowhill Street).
Occupying an entire city block at Broad and Callowhill Streets, this structure was touted as being the largest commercial warehouse building in the nation when completed in 1930. The Terminal Commerce Building cost $4 million to construct and was built by William Steele & Sons, a longstanding Philadelphia construction firm. The building offered about 13 million square feet of floor space, including showrooms and offices for the numerous firms that made their headquarters there. The massive edifice even had a freight station beneath it, which replaced the Reading's North Broad Street Freight Station and rail yard that had previously been on the site. Rail service was provided by the Reading's now-abandoned "City Branch" right-of-way, which passed underneath. The Terminal Commerce Building was reputedly used to manufacture tanks during WWII. And from the 1940s to 1973, it was the main U.S. Army Induction Center in Philadelphia, striking fear in the young men who entered or even passed by it. The Reading Railroad sold the structure in 1955, whereupon it became known as the North American Building. By the 1980s, it had become a low-rent office and light-industrial center. It more recently has been repositioned as a "carrier hotel" housing telecommunications, computer and other high-tech equipment. There are dozens of fiber optic lines into the building, large Internet servers, huge back-up power generators, and a number of telecom tenants. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
San Jose Fire Department struggled to locate and control a fire burning in an office building on Saratoga Ave. While there was smoke aplenty, finding the flame was difficult. Fire was burning inside walls, in the attic covered by a metal clad roof and in various rooms around the building.
It took more than 90 minutes for the fire to progress to a 3rd alarm, and later additional resources were requested via mutual aid.
While it didn't cause much damage chasing the fire around inside the walls and the attic took time and resources. No-one was hurt during the incident.
This vehicle is a 2002 MedicMaster/ALF built ambulance on a Freightliner FL70 chassis. It features additional storage cabinets in front of the patient box, a PTO powered Generator and Command Light tower.

The newly erected Wind turbine Generator sited below Eastwood , though visible from some quarters of Cotmanhay is undeniably perfectly sited. Photo January 12th 2014.
The land upon which the generator has been sited has since Victorian times been used for industrial purposes .[ Namely railway, coal mining and iron smelting.] Close by it is a sewage plant, beyond and around which is agricultural land restored after 1970s outcrop coal mining. Until the 1930s the former Bennerley Ironworks ( an infamous stinking smoke emitter ) was sited on the River Erewash close to Cotmanhay but located in Awsworth was just a few hundred yards beyond the restored agricultural field .
Thomas Edison was an inventor. He would patent 1093 inventions during his life.
Born in Ohio, Edison would only spend 3 months of formal education in school. Unable to pay attention, his mom pulled him out of school and home schooled him. Edison attributed his ability to learn from hi9s mom and the streets which he picked up in Michigan when he travelled by train selling candy and food.
Edison would become a telegrapher for Western Union when he was 19 in Louisville, Ky. He chose nightshift so he could experiment at the office with little people around. Here, he learned the idea of telecomunication and worked with electric power generators which sent telegraphs to many homes accross America. After a year and a half, Edison was fired after experimenting one night when he spilled acid on the floor which soaked through onto his bosses desk one floor down. There, he worked with a man, who had a house in New Jersey, and allowed Edison to move there where he can experiment more.
While in New Jersey, Edison kept experimenting with ideas and what he learned at Western Union. This would lead him to become an inventor. There, he would patent his first invention, the electric vote recorder. Along with the vote recorder, Edison also invented other items that would be modified and still used today, like a stock ticker and an electric car battery.
Edison would learn the idea of mass communication and build the first industrial research labratory. This is when Edison invented his major inventions including the phonograph, which he called his best invention, a motion picture camera, and the first practical lightbulb. Edison would become the first person to use the motion picture camera when he was able to film a guy sneezing and rewatch it after it happened. With the invention of the lightbulb, Edison was able to start General Electric which is still the largest electric company in the world.
This bust of Thomas Edison is located at his Butchertown house in Louisville, Ky. It was here where Edison lived while a telegrapher at Western Union and it was here where Edison came up with the ideas for many of his inventions.
This was build for the Dutch Lego forum Lowlug 'Build a Ramp' competition.

Lacepede Bay/ Port Caroline/Kingston.
Lacepede Bay was named by Nicholas Baudin on his 1802 voyage. The first exploration of this area was by Governor Grey and friends who went along the Coorong in 1844 to check out the country. It took them two weeks to get to what is now Kingston. The party went on to Mt Burr, Mt Gambier and ended up at Rivoli Bay from where they took a government ship back to Adelaide. The first settlers in the district were the Cooke brothers Archibald and James who squatted on the Maria Run in 1845 as the best land near Naracoorte and Penola was already being squatted on by others. Other early pastoralists near Maria Creek were the Kendles, James Brown, Andrew Dunn, and the Morris brothers and almost all were Scottish. The Cooke property was on Maria Creek.
The relationship of Cape Jaffa( Cape Bernouilli) to the safe harbor of Kingston is crucial. Kingston was selected as the major and safest port of the South East although it appears to be facing the wilds and depths of the Southern Ocean. It is Cape Jaffa which protects Kingston harbour. For 15 kms from Cape Jaffa to Kingston there is no surf. Storms do not ravage the harbour at Kingston. Cape Jaffa was the geographical reason for the development of Kingston. The only danger with using the port of Kingston in the 19th century was the Margaret Brock Reef some 8kms offshore from Cape Jaffa. The Margaret Brock was a ship that was wrecked on the reef in 1852 and it was one among several such wrecks including the Agnes 1865 and the Maria in 1840. Eventfully in 1872 the government built an oil rig type structure on the reef and on top of that platform they built the metal Cape Jaffa lighthouse. One hundred years later it was replaced by an automatic light beacon and the National Trust took the lighthouse to Kingston in 1972. Cape Jaffa was one of only three places in Australia where a German U-boat was sighted during World War Two. The U-boat fired shots at a passing freighter ship.
Kingston was surveyed as a private town in 1858 on property owned by Sir George Kingston (his son Charles Cameron Kingston became Premier of SA 1893-99) the first Surveyor General of SA and the designer of parts of Government House, the Old Adelaide Jail, and the Morphett house called Cummins at Novar Gardens. Recent historical work now argues that Kingston was the designer of the city plan of Adelaide not Colonel William Light and that Light only rubber stamped the location for the city selected by Kingston! The historical evidence is interesting but not convincing or true. The first land surveyed in the district was put up for sale in 1855. Kingston bought 2 sections of land, and the Cooke brothers bought 10 sections to complement their leasehold run. Governor MacDonnell named the town after his Surveyor General. Once the town of Kingston was established the Cooke brothers saw the potential of the area and built the first jetty. They were largely responsible for the wool stores which were built in the town. The telegraph line from Adelaide to Mt Gambier passed through the town in 1858. So although George Kingston was the land speculator and founder of the town, Archibald and James Cooke were the real founders of the town and they later created a new subdivision of the town in 1867. They erected the Kingston Arms Hotel in 1859 to service the needs of the passengers on the new coach service from Meningie to Robe and onwards. Once the pub was operating Cooke then petitioned the government for a police officer in the settlement. Nothing happened until after the government gazetted a government town adjoining the private township of Kingston which it did in 1860 the year before the Hundred of Lacepede was surveyed and declared. The government of course wanted the commercial life of the town to be centred near the government services of police, gaol and post office. In 1866 the town got a police station and in 1869-70 a Post Office and Courthouse. Kingston’s town on the foreshore declined especially after the building of the government town in 1860. The government town got a new hotel the Royal Mail which accommodated visiting magistrates and travellers on the run to Port MacDonnell.
It was the Cooke brothers who petitioned the government to declare an international port at Kingston and they also petitioned the government for a railway to the Tatiara district around Bordertown. They opposed any suggestion of
expanding the port of Robe or of building a railway to Robe. The government, who controlled Customs and all official ports, did not declare a port at Kingston until 1865 when they named it Port Caroline. The port was successful immediately as the Cooke brothers were ready to start an international shipping firm just as Ormerod of Naracoorte had done in Robe. When the government later decided to build the first railway in the South East from Kingston/Lacepede Bay to Naracoorte the future of Kingston was well and truly assured. The narrow gauge railway to Naracoorte opened in 1876 and Kingston became the most important port in the South East. The commencement of the railway provoked a building boom in Kingston in the late 1870s. It also brought two Melbourne shipping companies to Kingston as well and they competed with, and limited, the expansion of James Cooke’s shipping firm. By the 1870s Kingston was the main South East port for exporting of wool and grain. Wool was shipped from Kingston direct to England until the end of World War One and after that most wool went direct by road or rail to Melbourne or Geelong, but not Adelaide. The port closed in the 1920s. The railway line to Naracoorte closed in 1987.
Meantime in 1865 Mrs James Cooke worked to establish the first Free Presbyterian Church in Kingston. The McCheyne Free Presbyterian Church foundation stone was laid 1874 with the church opening in 1875. Despite Mrs Cooke’s support it had closed by 1882 and it was demolished after the earthquake of 1899. There was even an Aboriginal school for Aboriginal children in the 1870s run by a friend of Mrs James Cooke. The Congregationalists, the largest denomination in Kingston, opened their church in 1870 with an accompanying school that served all children in the town. It closed around 1880 and was sold to the Anglicans in 1882 who still use this 1870 church for their services. 1887 saw the opening of a Wesleyan Church in Holland Street. By the turn of the 20th century new drainage schemes and closer settlement acts had opened up much of the hinterland to small properties but pastoralism still dominated the district. Deep-sea and lobster fishing became a significant industry in the 1890s and has continued into the present. In the 1880s the Salt Creek Petroleum Oil Company was formed and it sunk deep shafts searching for oil near the Coorong but this was not successful. Kingston’s continued prosperity relied on pastoralism.
Hanson Street, Kingston. Starting at the esplanade near the jetty look for:
•1890s villa house on the corner of the esplanade (jetty built by Cooke in 1863) opposite the Lacepede Motel- the Harbour Master’s House. Like other government buildings it was in the “government town” of Port Caroline.
•The old power generator is in the park. This was the towns’ first power supply.
•Opposite that is the only remaining of the original three Cooke Brothers wool stores. Note the wide doors used by a spur railway line that went right into the building. Now being used by the adjoining Royal Mail Hotel. This wool store opened in 1872.
•Next look at the original Court House- now a bakery. Built 1869-70.
•Kingston Post Office- Georgian symmetry and arches with classical features and decoration. Note square based, pyramid finials on the roof line balustrade. Built in 1867, after Port Caroline declared in 1865.
•In the side street from the Post Office go and look at the original Police Station, lockup and for a time the first Court House. Built 1864 in the Georgian style with arched windows.
•Diagonally opposite the Post Office is the old Bank of Adelaide, now a private residence since 1970.
•On the next corner is the modern Council Chambers. If you turn up this street to the left you will see the original Council Chambers (1885). Almost next door to it is the War Memorial Gardens. The railway line used to pass through this area.
•Opposite the War Memorial Gardens you can see the original Station Master’s House. The station, now demolished was next door to it. Now return to the Main Street- Hanson Street. You can see some old cottages etc in the main street.

Currently in a red livery, it gained the name Bluebird from its livery of royal blue and white. This livery can still be seen today after numerous repaints under the red.
This generator works on petrol. It means that even around Son-kul it is possible to buy petrol. It is good idea to bring here petrol stove, because fuel is easy to find.

2 x V16 diesels powering generators which charged 448 battery cell's to run electric motors for propulsion.
Three Interesting Submarine Facts:
1:
These motors suck their air from inside the sub [where the crew are], the motors can only be run when the sub is at, or near the surface, so air can be drawn into the submarine, either through an open hatch, or if near the surface, through a inlet snorkel. If the motors where running without an air supply from the surface, the hull would be sucked free of air, becoming a vacuum. The motors would eventually stall but the crew would suffocate.
2:
Of the 7 ballast tanks, 2 are used for diesel. As the fuel level decreases, water is pumped in to keep the tanks full. This prevents the tanks from failing due to pressure when submerged. The diesel floats on the water in the tanks. Any water mixed with the fuel is separated prior to being by the motors.
3:
The toilets are so small. sailors needed to drop their pants in the hallway, then reverse into the toilet, sit down and then close the door. This procedure was reversed when the job was done !!
Everyone wanted to hear a black man speak in this new America of Barak Obama. Van Jones did not disapoint referring to the Brother President Elect and how he would not get tired of talking about how great it was to have him as president, because, after all, we never got tired of talking about how terrible a president George W was/is.
He was very funny about how he knew that we (mostly white folks here) wanted to hold Barak accountable (which was exactly what I was thinking we must do). He said the problem with this phrase was that there wasn't a lot of holding involved. He gestured holding as an embrace. He said it was more like we wanted to kick Barak accountable. He reminded us that Barak had done his job of taking back America. That we had come this close to loosing our democracy. It was now our turn to do our job which was to take America forward.
He commended us for having the courage, over the last 8 years, to stay with our ideals when no one else was supporting us. "You held the line for peace," he said. I got all choked up over this. I hadn't allowed myself to feel how much of a struggle it has been. "You stayed and you fought," he said, "you didn't leave."
Then he told us that this movement, this eco/sustainable/green movement, created the opportunity for Barak Obama to be elected because he came to these pockets of sanity and he saw us. He saw our boldness, our clarity and audacity.
Van Jones may have been making this all up about what Barak was thinking, but it was moving to hear and I was willing to go along with the possibility of truth in it. He had the power to inspire, in turns being serious to the point of tragedy and then being humorous in both a humble and accusing way. He closed with an orators cadence. "It's our turn now," he said. "They had they're turn... The bomb and torture...the drill and burn...the borrow and spend, bubble and bail out. They had their turn. They totally discredited their model. All those biggots and homophobes did was drive us to suicide and divide our community. It's our turn now."
Van Jones' new book, The Green Collar Economy, has made the top ten bestseller list in the business section. I was impressed by this. I hadn't even bothered to check it out. We heard him speak three years ago when we were taking the Be The Change program at Acterra. He was relatively obscure, a local charismatic community organizer who founded the Ella Baker Center. I knew he could speak, but I didn't know he could translate his message to the page as well. As he talked, I realized he had developed his argument for green collar jobs beyond an inspiring idea into a viable economic solution. He made fun of himself using a phrase like "the neo liberal globalization paradigm". He teased us about how if our grandparents could come back and see our credit card statements they would be shocked.
He had a three point plan.
1) Put a price on carbon. (And get over our objections to cap and trade being a market based solution.) Stop paying the polluters and make them pay. Polluters get a triple subsidy. As well as the tax breaks, they get the US military policing their supply lines. And then they get to pollute for free.
2) Retro fit America—weatherize buildings and create green collar jobs for the construction sector that is now out of work.
3) Get green energy power generators onto the grid. We need to be the back breaker of the pro-polluter coalition. This will require R & D towards battery storage and transmission to connect America to itself.
To the question of money, he said we can't afford not to do this. We did it for the national highway system and we did it for the information highway. We can do it for the energy highway. I liked the parallels though I personally feel I subsidized the information highway with all the money I lost betting on internet stocks. He did not mention taxing corporations (or really nationalizing them) which may be why his book is even being read in the business community, because he implies that it will have to come out of our tax dollar.
It's worth downloading his talk from the Green Festival website when they put it up in a couple of weeks because I didn't include all his points in this recap, long as it is, and he's a master at getting a crowd behind him. And listening to the crowd get it, I could tell they were already up to speed on the folly of our borrow and spend economy which had never been mentioned before.
The exhaust opening from 1987 without a cover, that would still be in operation today. Of the four diesel generators, only the small emergency generator from 2010 can still be used. It gets the fuel from a barrel that has to be refilled by hand. The tank farm with 200,000 liters for the main power generators was emptied when the fort went out of service. One of the big engines needs a good 20 liters of diesel per hour. These can only be started manually with compressed air. Switzerland, June 1, 2020. (4/4)
