This is how they did it back in the good ol' days when a generator had to be moved from one spot to another. Since it is on a sled - I am assuming that it was last used during the winter months. I found this gem up in the 40 mile country in Alaska. I thought that some of my Flickr friends might get a kick out of it's size. These days a 2000 watt generator is easily lifted and transported anywhere. Many people use them for camping out, or for emergency situations. It sure beats hooking up the horses, then hooking up to a sled, in order to haul power out to a remote site - like they had to do during the gold rush days.

TELSTAR LOGISTICS UNVEILS MODEL 442 SHAREHOLDER VALUE GENERATOR
New Device Converts Nebulous Energy into Tangible Results
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SIERRA NEVADAS, Calif., 03-MAY-2006 Telstar Logistics is proud to announce the successful completion and deployment of the Model 442 Shareholder Value Generator, an event which marks the beginning of a new and more exciting era of production.
Installed underground in a remote mountain facility, Model 442 leverages innovations in Terrestrial Infiltration, Marine Buoyancy, and Aerospace Propulsion developed by Telstar Logistics while delivering our best-of-breed services.
Designed to provide stable, seamless solutions in any environment, the Shareholder Value Generator converts hybrid media energy into robust and scalable output. The impactful results quickly pay off where it matters most -- on the customer's bottom line.
"Telstar Logistics is the only company poised to deliver a product that customers can actually use," said Steve Jurvetson, senior test pilot for Telstar Logistics Aerospace Systems. "With the Model 442, organizations can easily increase production of an existing application without changing the application and still maintain high levels of performance."
Patents pending. NSFW. Batteries sold separately.

I can get a record player, and a generator. Generate the music that makes you feel better.
i dont live in poverty, i got a little bit of money and i've got a healthy body. I'm not going to let stuff get me upset, and i wont let all the little things get me depressed.
when i was a young boy i got a stereo and i taped all the songs straight off the radio.
the sounds that the bands made, and the melodies is all i need to make me feel free.
sometimes you get so low, you don't know why, or a little upset all inside. May i remind you? that you don't live in poverty, you got your youth, and you got food in your belly.

From March till May 2014 Dutch artist Theo Jansen exhibits his stunning work of so-called 'Strandbeesten' at the E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek (Electricity Factory) in The Hague, the Netherlands.
In 1990, Theo Jansen (born 1948) began what he is known for today: building large mechanisms out of PVC that are able to move on their own, known as Strandbeest (Dutch: strand=beach; beest=beast). His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself. What was at first a rudimentary breed has slowly evolved into a generation of machines that are able to react to their environment. Constructed as intricate assemblages of piping, wood, and wing-like sails, Jansen's creations are constantly being improved and have become excellently adapted to their sandy beach environment.

Op vrijdag 14 maart 2014 opende in de Electriciteitsfabriek de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest" rond het werk van kunstenaar en uitvinder Theo Jansen. De expositie is een absolute aanrader! Tijdens de opening deed Kamerkoor Kwintessens uit Den Haag er nog een schepje magie bovenop en klonk het prachtige "Da pacem Domine" van Arvo Pärt in de gigantische turbinehal.
Theo Jansen is een Nederlandse kunstenaar-uitvinder die vooral bekendheid geniet vanwege zijn zogenaamde "Strandbeesten". Deze spectaculaire wezens zijn gebouwd van pvc-buizen en plastic flessen, en lijken echt te leven. Sinds 1990 probeert Theo Jansen in zijn kunst levende wezens zo goed mogelijk te benaderen. Het resultaat zijn reusachtige geraamtes gemaakt van vaak honderden pvc-buizen. De geraamtes bewegen op windenergie. Zij lopen op dezelfde manier als wezens uit de natuur.
Tot begin mei 2014 presenteert Jansen zijn werk in de industriële en poëtische turbinehal van de E.ON Electriciteitsfabriek in Den Haag, waar het maakproces van een nieuw Strandbeest van dichtbij te volgen is. In de hal construeert Jansen een groot, nieuw dier: de Animaris Suspendisse (10 x 4 meter, bij 4 meter hoog). Een uitgestrekte zandlaag vormt de werkvloer om het nieuwe beest uit te proberen. Zeven andere forse strandbeesten bewegen zich, aan de hand van een bezoeker, voort op de begane grond.
Als in een laboratorium experimenteert Jansen met electriciteisbuis, tape, tie-raps en patflessen. Al twintig jaar toetst Jansen de vernuftige proefjes om tot de techniek te komen waarmee ooit zijn kudde, misschien wel geheel zelfstandig, de duinen kan onderhouden. Een droom die hem drijft om door te zoeken naar nieuwe technieken en ontwikkelingen.
In de tentoonstelling "Generator Strandbeest", op de eerste verdieping van de fabriek, wordt een historisch overzicht getoond van de evolutie en het maakproces van de dieren aan de hand van een paleontologisch veld met fossielen. Film, foto’s en video materiaal lichten de ontstaansgeschiedenis toe. Openingstijden van de tentoonstelling zijn van vrijdag t/m zondag van 14:00 tot 22:00 uur. Dagelijks wordt er om 20:00 uur een rondleiding gegeven door Theo Jansen zelf.
Begin mei wordt de kudde, dan een dier rijker, uitgeleid naar zee waarna de dieren weer wind kunnen vangen en uitgelaten langs de kustlijn kunnen paraderen.
This is my shield generator that is about 2/3 done. Still have the dish to go, the hardest part, not that everything so far hasen't been a really difficult build.

Remember my old spider friend? (here it is) Well, I went back to my kitchen this morning, and it was still here, ready for a new posing session! This time I tried a focus stack, took 7 shots with different focus settings (yes, my model is very patient! :) ). I tried several solutions to combine them, but the best of these, both for quality of results and speed, was undoubtedly CombineZP, a free software created by Alan Hadley.

All large steam turbine-driven generators in power plants operate in an enclosure, or casing, that is pressurized at 20 to 80 PSIG with pure Hydrogen. Why??
Hydrogen gas has the highest thermal conductivity and heat removal capacity of any known gas. Hydrogen also has the lowest density and therfore has the lowest "windage" losses (the rotating parts turn with the least friction). It's a supurb coolant for the purpose. Fans that turn with the shaft circulate the hydrogen throughout the generator. Typically the heated hydrogen is cooled by water "radiators" that are in the circulation path.
As an additional benefit, hydrogen gas minimizes "corona" discharge (which degrades the insulation) that can surround high-voltage windings in air.
Since the hydrogen used is 99% pure, there it no risk of internal fire or explosion, unless the gas becomes contaminated with air.
Hydrogen cooling permits the manufacturer to increase the energy density (kilowatts per cubic foot) over that of air-cooled generators, as well as increase efficiency. Modern hydrogen-cooled generators are the most efficient man-made machines on the planet, converting 99% or more of the mechanical horsepower into kilowatts.
The generator's shaft must pass out of the pressurized casing to couple to the steam turbine (or other Prime Mover). Close-fitting liquid oil fed rings around the shaft provide a zero-leakage seal for the shaft penetration through the casing.
Even higher energy densities (more kilowatts per cubic foot) can be produced if the stationary windings are additionally liquid-cooled. Hydrogen is STILL used as a cooling gas in liquid-cooled machines. This photo shows a hydrogen-cooled machine (no liquid cooling).
