So at last I can reveal the shield generator! However I have a confession: It's only half a shield generator. And at that, the two rings I have built are only finished on one side. It will take many more Bricklink orders to complete. I added some flames to suggest the empire at in the middle of destroying it! I hope you enjoy what I've done so far. I'll be displaying it at a show in Ireland next weekend.
Based off an older model of mine which used to reside in my city, I rennovated this Power Generator for the GTW LUG's Cyberpunk display which was heald at The National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows. Unlike most of my other MOCs this one was made with out the use of LDD or Studio. It was all free hand.
New Haven Railroad GE EF-2 motor generator electric locomotive # 0114 motor is seen at Van Nest, while Condemned for service, it served to test AC/DC equipment at the shop, ca, early 1950's. Both the EF-2's 0113 and # 0114 lived on after the other locomotives were condemned in 1948, and lasted until the late 1950's in this capacity. When in service these 1,260 hp motors usually were operated in pairs and they used DC traction motors, much like in diesel electric locomotive practice. Evidently the motor generator units themselves provide quite a few problems and the locomotives were often found out of service for required repairs. In this scene you may observe the electrical equipment that is connected to the stationary locomotive.

47418 derailed at the top of platform 5 at Liverpool Lime Street on 5th August 1984.
I seem to recall the Brush was bringing in a set of ECS for a Pennine service. and it looks like a case of road-spread as it appears to have derailed on plain line. Not massively spectacular and the only indication it has derailed is the proximity of the engine to the stock on platform 6!
This was a pretty unlucky loco - it was involved in a collision at Lunan Bay in Scotland in October 1975 when 40011 assisted it in rear, and promptly collided with the train causing 38 injuries and one fatality. In June 1976 it ran into a load of derailed track panels near Laurencekirk and itself derailed, with one rail entering the cab, another puncturing the fuel tank and another entering the engine room!
Its luck finally ran out in August 1992 when it was withdrawn. The loco was scrapped at Frodingham in December 1995.

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.

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.

Kidwelly Brick Works to the north of Kidwelly station was opened c.1858 by William Edwards of Swansea. This site ceased operation in c.1903. A new works was built to the south of of the railway station by Alderman Daniel Stephens which opened in 1903. Stephens worked silica from Mynydd-y-Garreg and this was brought into the works via train. Up to 1927 the firm was known as Stephens & Co, but later as Beynon Davies Civils Ltd.
These photographs, taken in March 2017, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
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).
