  • Do this again, please - with someone filming you so the camera is pulled back - this is an awesome video but much is lost because you are too close to the subject. I still enjoyed though! you are blessed to be able to work with this equipment - i'm envious!

    Interesting mix of new and old technology
  • @HobkinBoi
    Makes me anxious seeing you wandering around massive flywheels like that. It'd only take one slip up to be all sorts of messed up.
  • @Ike3165
    This is interesting, just please work on holding the camera just a little steady. I have motion sickness after watching.
  • @NickT6630
    Very scary! Absolutely no safety precautions being taken here!
  • @snakehead3650
    Yep, he is a bit all over the place with that camera
  • @mfbfreak
    Beautiful old panels. All the exposed conductors make me a bit uncomfortable though.

    I would suggest you add some wicking cloth in those babbit bearing tops to hold the oil a bit more. Should also be part of the start up procedure to add oil to the bearings. Kind of surprised they haven't replaced those with roller bearings by now.

    A Voice Over would have been nice

    Back in my day we used to do it by touch and see how much tingle we got and if we could still speak or caught on fire ya knew right away they were N’SYNC bawawawa
  • The first thing to do is always get out the protocol. That way it is done right, and you don't kill yourself. Every facility is different and the more you think you know, the more likely you are to mess something up.

    So…the thing that first gets the turbine moving is you hopping up on the flywheel like it’s The Price Is Right?

    its hard to beleive how small the ac alternator is concidering how 275 kva is being produced
  • @b43xoit
    What is the purpose of the small dynamo that is driven via belts?
