Hydroelectric Generator Synchronization - Part 1

[@prestonburton8504]

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!

[@mirskym]

Interesting mix of new and old technology

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

[@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.

[@uploadJ]

Don't go into work after a few brewskies?

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

Thankfully, the people keeping our lights on are braver than you

[@Ike3165]

This is interesting, just please work on holding the camera just a little steady. I have motion sickness after watching.

[@mfbfreak]

Beautiful old panels. All the exposed conductors make me a bit uncomfortable though.

[@uploadJ]

Not me. You have to have grown up around this stuff I suppose to respect it enough to know it won't bother you if you don't bother it, and always grab the insulated handles on knife switches ...

[@carlapeterchris]

Is this generator plant in bracebridge?

[@drcdrdoct9864]

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.

its hard to beleive how small the ac alternator is concidering how 275 kva is being produced

[@NickT6630]

Very scary! Absolutely no safety precautions being taken here!

No place to play handball, squirt.

[@silverload3622]

That’s the Doctor Frankenstein look

[@RJ1999x]

That's why they don't let people like you in there

[@michaelladue5655]

Because this is a job where common sense is a requirement.

[@johntrauger68]

A grown up's job.

[@antoniorojas8460]

Very old machinery and main swithc system Thnks for show

[@charlieangkor8649]

Why the flywheel? Isn't the grid enough flywheel? When you slip out of sync it pushes you back mightily so what's the point of having a flywheel on the axle?

[@shigidaropupaypups5236]

I assume that's a brake. He has turned a yellow wheel releasing this machine to go.

[@uploadJ]

Evens out the 'flow' from the turbine, should air or debris appear in the penstock water flow ...

[@Cragified]

Small private industrial generator doesn't have enough mass of it's own if the penstock have a momentary interruption in waterflow without tripping out. The flywheel adds momentum to carry it through any transient interruptions.

[@rty1955]

A Voice Over would have been nice

[@b43xoit]

What is the purpose of the small dynamo that is driven via belts?

[@Pantaou1337]

I think thats the exciter generator

[@henkvharten8465]

Generators of this size needs a magnetic field to operate, The exciter generator powers that field.

[@snakehead3650]

Yep, he is a bit all over the place with that camera

[@silverload3622]

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

[@gibblespascack1418]

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.

[@PaulFisher]

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

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

A tripod might have been useful.

[@justindaves1990]

Nice video thanks a bunch

[@dehypnotizerz]

Make The Videos Horizontal Again!

[@jorgp8907]

Unruhige Kamera,sonst sehr gut 😊

[@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002]

No one can tell what you're doing or what is happening. You're just staggering around various machinery. I don't know how you expect anyone to know what you're doing, without at least saying something or doing a voiceover.

[@陳金松-u9o]

老式發電機。

[@MrNobody2828]

I give up watching, Im going out back to puke. Too much movement for mine eyes only.

[@robatfairchild]

Video serves NO purpose.

[@henkvharten8465]

Interesting topic but horrably filmed. Please make a new film and keep the camera steady and hold still for at least 10 seconds on anything that we can read.

[@angelgonzalo2885]

Horroroso video.

[@wernerfeil7900]

Diese verwackelten Bilder hätte man am besten gleich gelöscht anstatt sie hier hochzuladen

[@carlnapp4412]

6 minutes wasted!

[@DSAK55]

were you doing coke?
