It takes a little steam engine to start a honking huge one:
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out what they were doing for work until I Googled it,
Giant water pumping stations.
Wicked interesting, I love old machinery.
18 RPM is actually a pretty good clip for the amount of rotating weight they have going on there.
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".
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.
