Ürümqi or Ürümchi (play /uːˈruːmtʃi/; Uyghur: ئۈرۈمچی, ULY: Ürümchi; simplified Chinese: 乌鲁木齐; pinyin: Wūlǔmùqí), is the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, in the northwest of the country.
With an urban population of over 2.5 million people, Ürümqi, whose name means "beautiful pasture" in the Mongolian language of the Dzungar people, is the largest city in China's western interior. Since the 1990s Ürümqi has developed economically and now serves as a regional transport node and commercial centre.

Urumqi is quite famous for its claim that it is the most inland major city in the world, that being the furthest from any ocean.
There are two major ethnic groups, the Uyghur and Han. Other ethnic groups in Urumqi include Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Mongols and Hui Muslims.
Most people in Urumqi can speak some level of Mandarin Chinese, however it is not as dominant as Uyghur, a Turkic language. Few people speak English, even in some of the large hotels. When taking a taxi, it is a good idea to have a piece of paper with the name of your destination written in Chinese.
Cyclists will convene on Linz’s Main Square where they’ll hook up their bikes to one of the many generators set up there waiting for them to provide the muscle power needed to charge a giant battery. Each revolution of every set of pedals moves the battery charge indicator a little closer to full. After sundown, the cyclists’ output will be switched directly to the
balloon; the harder they pedal, the brighter the artificial moon glows in the night sky. The humming of the muscle-powered generators will spread out a blanket of sound across the square. The battery that was charged up during the day discharges through the night and lets the moon gently set over Linz.

From right to left Master Sgt. Daniel Anderson, of the 119th Civil Engineer Squadron, right, is awarded the prestigious Society of American Military Engineers Goddard Medal for his work in the power production career field at the annual Outstanding Airman of the Year banquet at the Courtyard by Marriott, Moorhead, Minn., March 7, 2015, as Lt. Col. Johns Gibbs, the 119th Civil Engineer Squadron commander, Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Muehler, the 119th Wing command chief, and Chief Master Sgt. Ben Bush, the North Dakota Air National Guard state command chief, clap for him. Anderson is an instructor at 119th Regional Training Site, which was selected as the pilot unit for developing training on the new U.S. Air Force High Power Generator. He was instrumental in writing the training materials and conducted the first ever BPU Mission Essential Equipment Training (MEET) Course for the USAF. The digital control BPU is a technological leap from the traditional generators previously used to power a Basic Expeditionary Airfield Resources (BEAR) Base, more commonly known as a tent city.

1000W wind power generator and 280W solar cell panels are used to lit LEDs around Aji-no-moto Stadium.
The Tennessee Valley Authority's Cumberland power plant, frequently referred to as the "steam plant" by locals, situated on the south bank of the Cumberland River in Cumberland City, Tennessee. Coal arrives on the barges seen at the lower right, which in turn is burned to heat river water, producing the steam which turns the power generators. These shots were taken on a rather murky winter day while enroute at 2500ft. to M93, the Houston County-McKinnon, TN airport to the west (2/16/2008).
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.
A back-up power generator made of recycled crane components successfully completed its first real world exercise during Hurricane Matthew, keeping JAXPORT's main office near downtown Jacksonville connected with tenants, customers, employees and the community during the storm’s power outages.
The generator was constructed by JAXPORT terminal personnel using surplus crane parts, including an engine and electrical generator. The unit, housed in a recycled shipping container, is capable of providing the port with 30,000 continuous hours of back-up power.
This is a set of photos from a recent friend, H. W.'s place.
There is a beautiful, very rural place a new friend of mine lives. She is in her 80s and lives alone on this land, which was once her great-grandfather's. It was once a Wells Fargo stagecoach stop. H. has long lived there alone, without electricity. She has beautiful things growing everywhere including many apple trees, bearing now. Her water comes from a spring down the mountain and is pumped to a tank near her house by a gasoline powered generator which she goes down to turn on when necessary to fill up her tank. She has one small solar panel for one small reading light - and a house full of books.
The light and colors up on that ridge top inspired me every moment... and so did everything H. said and did! What a heroine.
Please see this set (H.W.'s Place - to right of this image) on black, as slide show (though there is info below some of the pix)
A view of the inside when opened. You can see from left to right the kitchen, the bio converter power generator, and Anakin's workbench with C-3PO.
This diesel engine has apparently been removed from a tugboat and is seen on land located near a tugboat dock along the Saint Johns River in downtown Jacksonville, Florida, Fall 1972. This diesel engine appears to be an old FM (Fairbanks Moorse) 8 cyliner opposed piston engine that actually has 16 pistons with two crankshafts, upper and lower. These engines were famous for their application in American WWII submarines. They were also used in various shipboard and U.S. Navy applications, for power generators, prime movers for railroad locomotives, etc. I believe the bridge seen in the background is the Mathews Bridge for passage of vehicles across the Saint Johns River.
Massive wind turbines decorate the farmland near Burley, Idaho. It is just amazing to see how large these are when you get close to them. When you see them from a distance, you don't think too much about their size, but then you drive 10 miles closer and they still seem far away. When you finally do get close, huge trucks that are parked nearby are dwarfed by these gigantic power generators.
The sound they make is kind of interesting too as their blades cut the sky at 70 mph at their tips.
Okazaki,Aichi, Japan / Taken about 15 minutes after sunset. It was closed this day, so I want to return when the lights are on.
A beautiful place to spend some time indoors and outdoors. There is also a baseball stadium and sports center next door.
"Mindscape Museum
Located in the Chuo Sogo Koen at just over 200 hectares (around 500 acres), the culture zone features the beautifully designed Mindscape Museum and its gardens.
The Museum itself has a permanent collection and often hosts important exhibitions, both of Japanese arts and collections brought to Japan. It opened in July 1996, and was built into the hill, harmonizing with the landscape as the external structure and water feature follows the contours of the descending slope to a pond.
At the top of the hill/building, there are eight wind-power generators and the mist from the artificially-generated "Mist Circle" installation near the upper entrance shows the direction of the wind."

Note: This picture was taken by one of the Seabees. He also took some good shots of the damage at the hospital. I took his film and went to the Naval Support Activity photo lab and had them to develop and print his film. NSA made 2 prints of each. I've never used this photo because it was so dark due to underexposure. But this morning I thought I would try Lucis Enhancement. I did, and here's the result. One more reason for purchasing the software. If you are interested: www.lucispro.com

Sunday morning in Da-Nang - I stayed at Camp Tien Sha, as I always did when in the area. I was going to take the day off before notifying CCG (Combat Camera Group), Saigon, that I was free for another job. Today I wanted to hang out with some of my Seabee buddies at Camp Adenir. There were two youngsters there who could really pick and sing, country music, of course. If there was any of that going on, I could usually be found right in there with them.
The Seabees had come to build a Naval Hospital for the Da-nang area, and were nearing completion. The camp was right beside the hospital. I was scheduled to cover the dedication ceremony in about three weeks.
It was late morning when I arrived at Adenir. They were still serving Sunday brunch in the mess hall. I went over and got in line. All of a sudden, and out of nowhere came
the deafening sound of a powerful explosion. Then immediately another one went off. Then automatic gunfire rung out. We all hit the deck. The gunfire quickly dwindled off and stopped. I got up and eased outside.
I didn't see anybody, but I ran and jumped into the trench along the perimeter. I had my Nikon and was shooting away, operating on autopilot, as sometimes happened when I was thrown into the heart of a battle situation such as this having no warning.
Two Vietnamese lay dead just inside the hospital gate. Suicide bombers with satchel charges had rushed the gate and slung the bombs. They both had dealt a killing blow to the two new power generators, and destroyed one of the new Quonsets nearby. An attack in broad daylight. That was hardly ever done.
There had been two members of MCB9 on duty in separate bunkers at the hospital gate. One was killed by shrapnel from the explosion itself, and the other one took a round in his leg, and was lying on the ground when the explosions went off.
Well, so much for Sunday being a day of rest.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray Thee Lord my soul to take."

Tasting Britain got an invite to Mark Hix's Cock 'n' Bull Gallery / CNB Gallery to meet the fine people at Silent Pool Distillers. CNB Gallery lives underneath the rather East London, and rather hip Tramshed, on Rivington Street. For those who are unaware, the Tramshed is a restaurant that was once a power generator for the East End tram network (I didn't actually know there was a tram network but there you go). Now it focuses on casual dining (mainly stuff made with steak and chicken), and there you shall find Damien Hirstâs formaldehyde preserved cow and chicken, suspended from a high ceiling over the dining area. Itâsâ¦memorable, to say the least
Anyway, more about the gin: the Silent Pool Distillery, which was started by a group of friends, is located in Albury, Surrey - on the Duke of Northumberland's Estate, and the site of the Silent Pool. They claim itâs a sacred site, Iâm just not sure who holds it sacred. The Silent Pool has a bit of history and mystery about it. Much beloved of the poet Alfred Tennyson, itâs also thought to be haunted by the ghost of a woodcutterâs daughter, who drowned there trying to escape a man on horseback (possibly King John), sometime back in the 13th century. She can supposedly be seen at Midnight, perhaps waiting (in vain) for metaphysical closure?
Anyhow, they renovated what was a dilapidated farm, brought in a Holstein copper still and got cracking. The signature product is, obviously, the Silent Pool gin. Itâs a moreâ¦traditional tasting, juniper driven one, made up of 24 botanicals, and is the brainchild of Silent Poolâs master blender, Cory Mason (and his strong Victorian moustache). Cory holds an MSc from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling at Herriot Watt University in Edinburgh, and before he moved to the UK, used to work in New York managing various venues and making cocktails. Presumably he decided to up sticks and make GIN happen, and so here we are. The distillery is open seven days a week and people are welcome to come and visit (and I willâ¦)

This is one of numerous wind-powered generators at Kent Hills, south-west of Moncton, New Brunwick. The size of the tower, the blades, and (at the hub of the blades) the generator, may be judged by comparing their size to the 48-passenger International school-type bus parked at its base.
Possibly air conditioner mounts, either to cool the entire facility, or just the two original tube-type transmitters. Up until being replaced by GPS, LORAN was a very important system & thus most critical components had primary & back-up systems. This included transmitters, power generators, and should have included systems to keep the tube transmitters (& personnel) at an optimum temperature.
Personally, I do not prefer those using a gasoline-powered generator to roast real chestnuts (Castanea sativa), it's because those chestnuts do not smell as good as that using the traditional coal fire.
Paul da Serra is the only plateau in Madeira. It is vast and deserted apart from the wind power generators, ground vegetation and an occasional passing car. It is a place with a “silent” beauty to it.

American generosity stuns Iraqi family
By Scott Beveridge
GREENFIELD, Pennsylvania – The Iraqi girl's crooked smile masks birth defects in her mouth that make it difficult for her to eat or talk clearly.
Sabaa Salman, 8, of Baghdad, has a badly scarred upper lip, the result of five botched operations on her harelip. The otherwise healthy child also was born with a severe cleft palate, leaving her without an upper jawbone and a gaping hole in the roof of her mouth leading to both nostrils.
"I felt so sorry for her. You see how beautiful she is," said the girl's aunt, Khlood Salman of Squirrel Hill, who spearheaded the girl's difficult journey to America, where she will receive a new smile for free at Washington Hospital.
"He went through hell before he came," said Salman, discussing her brother, Layth Salman, who waded through eight months of delays and risked his life to obtain visas to accompany his daughter to Pittsburgh.
With escalating violence from the war in Iraq, Layth Salman said he feared each time he left his home that it would be his last day on earth.
"People are scared. People are killing each other like animals," his sister said Thursday at an apartment in Pittsburgh's Greenfield section that doubles as her husband's office and a residence for their many foreign visitors.
Before leaving Iraq, her brother traveled several times under fear of sniper fire to what is known as the "Green Zone," a fortified area in downtown Baghdad for U.S. occupation forces.
Terrorists will attempt to murder any Iraqi who travels to the district, assuming they are working for U.S. troops as a spy, Khlood Salman said. Her brother took his daughter there once to see a physician, and other times to process papers to exit the Middle East through Jordan. Caught up in a sea of Iraqis trying to leave the war zone, the father and daughter also waited in extreme heat for 12 hours to cross the border into Jordan for their flight to the United States. In peacetime, the crossing would take about five minutes in an area where there are no restaurants or bathrooms.
"I will do anything I can. I want to see my daughter look like normal," said Layth Salman, 40, who, because of the fighting, has seen little work in his job as an overseer of apartments.
Before the fighting broke out, Iraq had repaired its infrastructure that was damaged in the Persian Gulf War. But today, sewage floods the streets and there is no refrigeration or gasoline to power generators in the city where the electricity works for about an hour each day, said Khlood Salman.
"The smell of sewage will kill you," her brother said.
Khlood Salman immigrated to the United States two decades ago, earning a doctorate and eventually working in preventative care at Gateway Health Plan in Pittsburgh. She traveled last year to Jordan, where she was reunited with her Iraqi relatives for the first time in four years and was inspired to find better treatment for her niece.
Upon returning home, she turned to Dr. Charles Tripoli, a retired South Strabane Township physician, knowing him to be a dedicated humanitarian. She met Tripoli last year while he and his wife, Rita, were sponsoring a baby girl from Iraq who was in the United States for life-saving surgery to remove tumors that were about to suffocate her. Khlood Salman's husband, Yanal Baslan, had befriended Charles Tripoli when he took the father of the other child to worship at the Islamic Center in Oakland.
The other girl was known only as Baby Tabby in the United States to protect her return to Iraq. She has survived, along with her parents, who are now struggling to care for nieces and nephews left homeless when their parents were killed by a car bomb, Tripoli said. He became involved in the Baby Tabby case after his son, Dr. Louis Tripoli, took the girl under his wing while serving with a U.S. Marines unit in Fallujah.
"One thing leads to another," said Charles Tripoli, who arranged for Sabaa Salman to be treated by Dr. Joseph S. Nawrocki, an oral surgeon in Washington.
Nawrocki will donate his services June 21 for a three-hour surgery to remove part of the girl's hipbone and use it to rebuild the roof of her mouth.
"Hopefully, she will no longer have food coming out of her nose when she eats," Nawrocki said. "The eyeteeth are stuck, floating in limbo with nowhere to come down into."
While Sabaa Salman knows she is here for more medical treatment, she appears shy to strangers and has developed a fear of physicians. She may experience post-surgery swelling problems because of scar tissue left behind by her other surgeries.
Another physician, Dr. Amelia Paré of Bethel Park, has agreed to perform plastic surgeries on the girl through August, when her visa expires.
"They are wonderful," the girl's father said. "This is Arabic character. I could not believe Dr. Tripoli is American. All Iraqis think Americans are killers."
Note: Sabaa is recovering well after her surgery, which she underwent at Mercy Hospital, Pittsburgh. The location of her care changed at the request of her physicians
Pulling into Cardiff Central for the 11:16 2P37 Bargoed to Penarth service. This is one of nine 4 car Class 319 electric units for TFW converted to bi-modal by Brush Traction, fitted with MAN diesel engines powering generators.
I'm not sure if these are power generators, or regular fans. There's nothing nearby for them to cool, and the blades were gently spinning with the breeze.
Oleksander will be in charge of maintaining the generator and making sure it is operating during power cuts.
UNOPS has been working with the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund to help make energy supply more stable. At the beginning of 2023, UNOPS helped deliver more than 320 electricity generators to 13 regions in Ukraine as part of an emergency response project.
Funded by the UHF, the generators will power district heating and healthcare facilities, helping ensure essential public services are able to function in case of power outages.

Since losing electrical power is not an option, this building uses redundant commercial power sources and two redundant emergency power generators. It was in this very building in 1897 that the original Union Pacific Railroad was sold at auction. Visit tour.americaspower.org for more.

Our campus did not have electricity for the last two days as neessary repairs needed to be made. In order to keep at least some buildings operable, this power generator was brought in. On Thursday we had a smaller version of it that was not strong enough. Thus, a bigger one was brought in that worked like a charm till the evening before it started coughing which lasted till this morning.
Thank goodness for laptops wth working batteries to bridge the brief power losses this morning before it could be repaired.

The famous waterjet on the waterfront of Geneva. The buildings in the background provide a sense of scale of just how high this jet is.
The Jet d'Eau, or water-jet, is a large fountain in Geneva, Switzerland, and is one of the city's most famous landmarks, as well as one of the largest fountains in the world. Situated at the point where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhone River, it is visible throughout the city and from the air, even when flying over Geneva at an altitude of 10 km (33,000 ft).
Five-hundred litres (132 gallons) of water per second are jetted to an altitude of 140 metres (459 feet) by two groups of pumps, operating on 2,400-V electricity with a total power of 1,000 kW. The water leaves the nozzle at a speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). When it is in operation, at any given moment there are about 7,000 litres (1849 gallons) of water in the air.
The first Jet d'Eau was installed in 1886 a little bit further downstream from its present location. It was used as a safety valve for a hydro power generator and could reach a height of about 30 metres (98 feet). In 1891, its aesthetic value was recognised and it was moved to its present location to celebrate the Federal Gymnastics Festival and the 600th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation, on which occasion it was illuminated for the first time. Its maximum height was about 90 metres (295 feet). The present Jet d'Eau was installed in 1994.
Since 2003, the fountain has operated during the day all year round, except in case of frost and particularly strong wind. It also operates in the evening between spring and autumn and is lit by a set of 12 lights totalling 13.5 kW.
The jet operates during the evening in the off-season for visiting heads of State.
At one time there was a movement for asylums to be self-contained. This tower is probably part of the on-site power generator.

Is this a scene from a corny science fiction movie of the 1950s? It's actually one of the early steps in the evolution of the Deep Space Network.
In 1951, JPL was working on missile development for the U.S. Army. In order to receive data signals from missiles in flight, JPL also developed telemetering ground equipment. The system included these helical antennas as well as receivers, recording equipment, gas-powered generators and batteries for power, and telephones for communication between primary and secondary telemetering sites. All the equipment, including a control room, was installed in trucks so it could be easily transported and set up in the field.
The directional antennas were mounted on top of 35-foot telephone poles. During testing, each antenna was steered using a small wheel, like a ship's wheel, near the bottom of the pole, attached to the antenna by rope.
