Imagine you get to be the engineer that designed these in 1936

In 2012, the Three Gorges Dam in China took over the #1 spot of the largest hydroelectric dam (in electricity production), replacing the Itaipú hydroelectric power plant in Brazil and Paraguay. The Three Gorges Dam has a generating capacity of 22,500 megawatts (MW) compared to 14,000 MW for the Itaipu Dam.

I do too and what got me is how them power lines "leaned" in the THE CANYON. Lol very rare to me. I went there back in The summer of 2000.

I find funny how we just have to make things bigger to get more of the same stuff. I love how symmetrical this universe is!

That big ass rotor was an electromagnet rotor??? So no permanent magnets in the generator? So how is the rotor energized?
@vst92663 жыл бұрын
With that blue thing on the top. No permanent magnets,are coils on the rotor.

you can kind of hear the 60 hz vibrations from the generators.
@estebanquito3568 жыл бұрын
actually it's 120hz
@EphemeralProductions8 жыл бұрын
estebanquito356 ??!!! How is it that it is 120 Hz, when the power frequency is 60 Hz? I always thought the vibration of the elelctricity supply (50 or 60 Hz) was directly from the rotation of the commutator in the generator... O-o

I was curious and am running the audio through a spectrum analyzer in Pro Tools as I write this. I'm seeing sub freq's starting at 35Hz @ -6db and peaking at 80Hz @ +1 db. There's probably far lower than 35Hz on site but that's probably the limit of this camera mic.

If u work near the generators u can "feel" in time heart disease too from the electro magnetic field. Is the most common disease workers get from staying in that magnetic field.

Take magnets put them on the shafts and take two magnets and put them on each side and the motor runs for free

How ironic. They have the world's largest power station called Three Gorges Dam.
