Although only 7 years old, a 5000 TEU PANAMAX container ship is quite obsolete. It's too small to operate between container hubs, where the optimum size is 13000 TEU plus, but too large to operate on feeder services. For trial purposes, the vessel is fitted with LNG powered generators.

CEA Project Logistics Myanmar recently carried out the demobilisation of 14 Gas Powered Generator Sets and accompanying parts and accessories from a Power Plant project in Kyaukpyu, Rakhine State to Yangon and then onwards to Singapore.

 

The initial part of this project began with the transportation of the vehicles and equipment necessary for the demobilisation. A 1500 Tonne Landing Craft Tank (LCT) barge was loaded then sailed from Yangon to Kyaukpyu on the West Coast of Myanmar. In preparation for the barge’s arrival, a section of beach was cleared with an excavator and steel plates laid down to ensure a smooth, safe roll off for all vehicle’s and equipment.

 

Due to the project involving a beach landing, careful attention was paid to the local high tides to ensure the barge arrived and departed at the optimum time without any interruption or delay to the operation. CEA carried out all crane operations at the Power Plant site and transportation of the 14 Generators Sets housed in 20ft Containers to the Posco-Daewoo Jetty 15km away. The containers and accessories were lifted and loaded onto the barge in two separate shifts over 24 hours.

 

Upon arrival at the Myanmar International Port in Yangon CEA completed all the necessary customs documentation. After approval was granted from the Myanmar Customs Office the generators were shipped to Singapore to undergo maintenance and be readied for use on another Power Plant project.

 

For this project, CEA Myanmar worked in conjunction with the Kyaukpyu Government, Myanmar Customs Office, Myanmar Port Authority and the Posco-Daewoo Oil Company. Total project duration from start to completion was 7 days.

Pictures taken by the late Jim Sharrocks, a former Works Engineer for CPA at Strines, of the vertical steam engine power generators. The Print Works used steam and hot water for the printing and dying process, so the steam engines were in use from installation in the 1920s until the works closed. Most power was DC to power the machines, but one set has been converted to AC when more modern motor contollers were introduced. The engines were 2 cylinder compounds, and ran in near silence, in sharp contrast to the Mirrlees Diesels that I was working with

This building features two levels of details, plus the rooftop landing pad. The first floor features a stove, table + chairs, couch, a cabinet for the record player, and TV. (The Television and it's ball-jointed stand were designed by my brother.) By the way: the engine-looking parts on the side of the building are twin power generators.

Screw Power is extracted when water enters the screw at the top and the weight of the water pushes on the helical flights, allowing the water to fall to the lower level and causing the screw to rotate. This rotational energy of the Archimedes screw can then be extracted by an electrical generator connected to the main shaft of the screw.

To the left is a big power generator behind the walls. Was it always that? I can see it's lost the upper level and any roof if it had one...I've got a feeling it was formerly something else because I suspect the building itself predates electrical generators, but I could be wrong!

This is a view of Susie's ranch home shot over the kitchen table into the living room. Yes, she does use kerosene lamps and candles at night as there is no electric wiring on this homestead - since she is five miles from the main highway. The last house with electricity before her is a couple miles closer to the main highway. She also cooks on a wooden stove. Susie does have a small propane fueled refrigerator ignited by a started hooked to a car battery that she has to charge periodically with a gas powered generator. All the conveniences of home - just not all that modern.

I took this series of Ten Photographs outside the International Independent Showmen's Carnival Museum, which is located at 6938 Riverview Drive in Riverview, Florida.

 

This Photo shows the Museum Building, a Strates Carnival Wagon and a Royal American Shows Wagon.

 

On August 4, 2017, I drove to Riverview, Florida to see the International Independent Showman's Museum to see what the Carnies had on display in the museum. Unfortunately, i arrive late in the afternoon and apparently it was closed. They were apparently having a Public Convention, but I arrived too late to gain admission to the museum. Therefore, I took Photographs of the Items displayed outside the museum.

 

There was a Banner attached to the Fence with the following lettering upon it:

SHOWMAN'S CARNIVAL MUSEUM OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Museum 813 671-3503 - - - - By Appointment 813 765-7xxx

 

Unfortunately, the Banner was folded back on itself, so that I couldn't see the last three digits of the second Phone Number.

 

I came back a week later and discovered that, many of the items that I photographed had been removed from the grounds and most likely locked up inside the museum. So I stopped in the Office on the otherside of Riverview Drive at International Showman's Foundation Building and asked the Office Manager, for a schedule of when the Museum is opened to the Public. She didn't know, but suggested that they might be opened on weekends. I took one more photo of a banner outside of the foundation building which depicts two American Fags, a Globe of the Earth and a Ribbon superimposed on the banner tittle'd: "International - Independent Showmen's Association". This Photograph can be seen as the next Photo in my Photostream, following this Ten Photo Sequence.

love the wind power generator

This statue was a gift from the former Yugoslavia to commemorate the American bicentennial and the 120th anniversary of Tesla's birth. The statue is located in Niagara Falls because it is where Telsa built the world's first hydroelectric generator. The generator was part of Tesla's development of AC power transmission, which triumphed over Edison's attempts to promote DC transmission. Tesla also invented the radio, but don't try telling them that in Signal Hill, Newfoundland.

the owner of a 44’ cabin cruiser had just started a gasoline powered generator to run a battery charger and it caught fire. The fire extinguisher was in the forward section of the vessel so the owner elected to jump into his dingy and make for the Raritan Yacht Club instead of facing the possibility of being trapped in the forward part of the boat. No one was injured.

Water by Charles Sheeler.

 

Water depicts one of the power generators built by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1930s, when hydroelectric power was being distributed throughout the Tennessee River region of the United States. Sheeler's experience as a photographer influenced his Precisionist style of painting, in which he emphasized the geometric shapes of objects in a hard-edged, clearly lit manner. For Sheeler, these monumental, streamlined forms signified human ingenuity in harnessing nature's power. His interpretation of American industry was somewhat idealized: workers are never shown, and the machinery is pristine and gleaming, free of any dirt or smoke.

 

Sheeler expressed his feelings about the emotional symbolism of technology when he wrote: "Every age manifests itself by some external evidence. In a period such as ours when only a comparatively few individuals seem to be given to religion, some form other than the Gothic cathedral must be found. Industry concerns the greatest numbers—it may be true, as has been said, that our factories are our substitute for religious expression" (quoted in Constance Rourke, Charles Sheeler: Artist in the American Tradition, 1938).

By rotating the magnets with a hand crank, one can induce an electric current in the copper coils causing the bulb to light up. Replace the hand crank with a water-driven turbine and the result is a hydroelectric generator.

This is a portable power genarator that came with a diecast construction set I found at CVS Pharmacy. Although most of the pieces in the set were approximately 1:64, this generator seemed a little bigger proportions than it should have been. So, it's probably around 1:50 scale or so.

 

There was no manufacturer's name on the box, other than some holding company, but I'm certain it was made by same company who made the Bomb Squad truck I just uploaded. The wheels were the same and there were some vehicles in the construction set that were the exact same vehicles in a another little $2 construction playset I found out the Dollar General Store, which was made by "Express Wheels."

 

No matter who makes them, this little portable generator features a hitch on it so that it can be pulled with the vehicles in the construction set. Several of them had a hitch on the back for just such purpose.

Tetsugaku no Michi (哲学の道), or the Philosopher’s Walk or the Philosopher’s Path, is a pedestrian path following the cherry-tree-lined Lake Biwa Canal in the northern part of the Higashiyama district. Approximately 2 kilometers long, the path begins around Ginkaku-ji and ends at Nanzen-ji. The route is so-named because the influential 20th century Japanese philosopher and professor Nishida Kitaro was said to practice meditation while walking this route on his daily commute to Kyoto University.

 

Biwako Sosui (琵琶湖疏水 or 琵琶湖疎水), or the Lake Biwa Canal, tunnels 20 kilometers through the mountains to Lake Biwa. Built during the Meiji Period to transport water, freight and passengers from the Lake to the city of Kyoto, it was also used as Japan’s first hydroelectric power generator, which served to provide electricity for Kyoto's trams.

Several facilities still remain (first-aid infirmary with an operating block, communications room, power generator...) and can all be seen today.

In Burma power is only available to the people for a few hours a day. People who can afford it use a cheap chinese power generator to power the most necessary things.

Please keep in mind:

Burma (Myanmar) is ruled by a military junta. In 1990 Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the people and imprisoned for the next 20 years after the election by the military.

In 2010 a election was staged to keep the military leaders in their current positions. People are starving and are forced to work.

  

All the pictures you may see in my stream are very onesided, as it is prohibited to take pictures of the military and the police. Also I just do not take pictures of poor people on the streets and there are a lot of very poor people in Burma.

 

The Burmese people are the nicest people I ever met and should be supported, even if I don´t really know how.

 

The country needs support. I posted some links to some international organizations helping Burma.

 

Burma is NOT the usual travel destination! Even if I am avoided all governement fees as far as possible (partly in long hours of bus travel) I still can´t say that I am sure travelling the country helps the people or should be boycotted as proposed by some people.

 

The government just moved the capital to Naypyidaw. When I saw it from the bus passing it, I had tears in my eyes seeing how the "Generals" collect the money building fancy buildings and streets around them with people starving. I was so shocked that I did not even took a picture...

Germany braces for 'ice-cold winter' as Russia's gas cut threatens to freeze millions

GERMANY is facing a crisis as feared Russian gas cuts have left it bracing for an "ice-cold winter" over suspected shortages in the coming months.

 

Russian president Putin has sparked panic in Berlin, which gets a third of its gas from Russia, over a looming supply squeeze. Gazprom, the Kremlin-controlled gas giant, already showed last month that it is willing to slash supply volumes transiting to the country after it sent deliveries from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline plummeting.

 

While the company blamed this on a delayed repair to pipeline infrastructure (because of western sanctions), German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck said this was a “political decision” to drive up prices.

 

And it forced Germany to enter the second stage of a gas alert system that would place its market on a war footing.

 

The final phase would result in gas rationing, a real fear as Russia looks poised to slash more supplies.

 

Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder has warned that if this happens, the German Government will not be prepared.

 

This is despite the EU’s plans to phase out Russian gas by 2027 under its REPowerEU energy strategy.

 

Mr Söder warned in an interview with German TV channel Welt: “There is the threat of a huge energy emergency, a kind of gas triage, which will affect millions of jobs."

 

A gas triage is a scenario where there would not be enough gas to supply all households and industries.

 

This means some sections of industry would have to limit production.

 

Mr Söder added: “There is the risk of an ice-cold winter.”

 

He also took aim at Berlin for not securing alternatives to Russian gas fast enough and warned Putin could cut Germany’s supplies “bit by bit”.

Preparing for winter without Russian gas

LNG reserves are set to play a crucial role in securing the country’s energy independence

 

Amid mounting concern across Europe over the possibility of a complete disruption of Russian gas flows and an all-out energy war, Greece’s crisis management group met in Athens on Monday in an emergency session to assess the sufficiency of supply to the Greek market.

 

The stress tests that the Greek contingency plan underwent revealed that power adequacy can be guaranteed with the conversion of five technically capable units from gas to diesel and the stable participation of lignite units at 10% of daily electricity production.

 

However, everything is contingent on the condition that there is enough liquefied natural gas (LNG). Otherwise, the next step envisages cuts in electricity loads, first of all in industry.

 

Given that Greece lacks adequate storage facilities, the Energy Regulatory Authority has suggested that gas importers maintain a safety stock of 1.5 terawatt hours in Italy and 0.6 terawatt hours for power generators. However, the provision of large quantities entails substantial costs, and it remains unknown who will foot the bill. At the current gas price, 0.6 terawatt hours will cost the power generators €320 million.

 

For the moment, the capacity of the terminal at Revithoussa is at a high level, and the floating storage unit (FSU) that has arrived there increases the storage capacity of the terminal by 145,000 cubic meters. In addition, DEPA Trading and the other gas importing companies are in constant communication with their suppliers to secure additional LNG cargoes if necessary.

 

Meanwhile, a joint ministerial decision was signed Monday for the implementation of the “Thermostat” project for energy saving in the public sector entities. The target is to reduce electricity consumption by at least 10% compared to the same period of 2019. For the following years the target will be redefined.

 

The long list of measures foresee, among others, that indoor temperature of office buildings during the summer will not be lower than 27 degrees Celsius, and during the winter period will not exceed 19 degrees.

 

Cooling-heating and office equipment will be switched off when there are no employees on the premises. Heating and cooling systems must undergo maintenance once a year.

 

Moreover a manager will be appointed to monitor the implementation of the measures in each public sector building. Entities that meet the target will receive subsidies from the state budget.
