I couldn't figure out what they were...Monsters!<br />I couldn't figure out what they were doing for work until I Googled it,<br />Giant water pumping stations.<br /><br />Wicked interesting, I love old machinery.<br />18 RPM is actually a pretty good clip for the amount of rotating weight they have going on there.<br /><br />I have seen the concept of a little motor used to start a bigger motor a few times, old Caterpillars had that set up on them, they call the little motors "Pony Motors".<br /><br />Thanks for the clip, it's much better viewing in Full screen, you get a better sense of just how massive they are when you first notice the connecting rod starting to move and the giant freaking End Cap come into view.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-91412236219824107512015-12-18T10:48:00.058-05:002015-12-18T10:48:00.058-05:00Ooo, I can just feel the enthalpy...;-)Ooo, I can just feel the enthalpy...;-)Deadstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484321108126882385noreply@blogger.com
