Is here to learn more about gen sets and thank you

[@SideLine55]

Great video, however the white smoke you see coming out of the cooling towers is not exhausted steam. It is the cooling water coming back from the condenser and evaporated inside the tower. The cooling water and feedwater are two separate systems as feedwater is very highly treated to remove particulates and chemicals are added. Cooling water is cheaper as it is only used in the condenser tubes to cool the steam off after leaving the turbine.

[@PaulOB1]

Given that I watched this video because I didnt know about electromagnetic electricity generators, I found it amazing how much info is thrown at you, without explanation or awareness that many watchers know nothing and wish to learn. Pretty naive of the presenters.

[@technosync274]

so informative man, well presented!

[@initiallearnwithme]

Excellent explanation

[@wayneyadams]

Condensers, or as they are also known capacitors, are needed to balance the inductance from electric motors. Motors use coils which are inductors. Inductors cause the voltage and current to move out of phase, i.e., the peak current lags behind the peak voltage. This gets worse as the number of inductors increase. Power is calculated as the product of voltage and current so the ideal situation is for voltage and current to be perfectly in phase, that is, the two waves overlap perfectly. Condensers, or capacitors, cause the two to move out of phase in the opposite direction, i.e., voltage lags behind current. They are used to counteract the effects of inductors in the system.

[@donberg01]

No mention of geo-thermal used in California and Iceland. Also question: for good stability the rotor has inertia for the grid, is this the flywheel effect?

[@fulbridgerectifier2497]

What is that handheld machine he has in the beginning of the video?

[@sohailjanjua123]

Hi, I like your video. Thanks

[@tammytao4090]

If I don't remember wrong, the water temp. out of nuclear reactor is 325 celsius degrees the max.

[@markhathaway9456]

I know the primary interest of this is large grid-level power, but batteries and energy storage more generally is valuable for more than cars. Another potentially huge improvement is in reduction of energy losses during transmission. A new kind of metal, steel I think, which can produce a kind of laminar flow of electrons may reduce transmission line losses greatly.

Where do I get one of those small, hand crank generators?

[@gerrtryks2944]

[@joseantoniotejada8098]

In the first part: 3 watts led is even more than 25 watts incandescent, probably 40 watts. There we can see the efficiency

[@ph.7013]

Hi THANK YOU FOR SHARING. What is the smallest wind turbine that we can build and how much electricity can it produce? What kind of electricity does it produce? DC or AC? 110V or 240V?

[@chrisbourne3543]

Have you seen the video on self running motor generator units

[@ironheadrondo5596]

*Let me know if the below sounds stupid. Also, this isn't my account but I am the only one who uses it for YT* It seems to me one could avoid the whole mess of aligning phases, frequencies, and amplitudes by having different circuits for each system and variable resistors to batteries. i.e. one may have a windmill, solar panels, water wheel, maybe thermal depending on geography (use heat for heat first, until you have no need for heat there is no need for thermal to electrical conversion), and a backup fossil fuel generator. The most efficient is split between main and battery s.t. main gets 220 ish volts at any amperage needed. All others, besides fossils', go straight to battery (well, obviously through a rectifier, just imagine the battery has some diodes and caps in the right order) It seems like it would be easy enough circuit to control connections. Say the wind dies down, and the rivers flowing harder. Upon sensing a different maximum wattage, the waterwheel resistor is set to zero and connected to main (doing nothing, as we make the flow to battery so much easier) then, in a presice fashion turn up ww-bat res and down wm-bat res until windmill can be disconnected with no effect (just as waterwheel was connected with no effect) Note, the main mover is still feeding battery in such a way that the home received 220V which would run through a breaker box to most things. Also any DC items could be powered from batteries with proper set up. (No more need for the computer power supply, jus make some 3.3,5,12, and 24 volt outlets)

[@tommywatterson5276]

I thought the rotor was stationary in a large generator. The field winding did the rotation spinning. This eliminated the need for brushes, and a commutator on a rotor.

Sir for generating 400 Hz frequency we change in pole or power of engine

[@AR-nb1iv]

We recently had a blackout. The gasturbine tripped during mapping and the high voltage switch, switched of and then right back on... some malfunction on the switch.

[@jeanclaudemichel914]

Good morning or good afternoon Mister I have a problem I know the turbine must turn 60 Hz per second but if the load is changing ? How much should it turns ? Thank you for time

[@wayneyadams]

11:00 Nuclear reactions are not chemical reactions. Chemical reactions are bonding between atoms involving electrons. Nuclear reactions in power plants split the nuclei of atoms resulting in nuclei with lower total mass

[@h7opolo]

wonderful video despite the frequent mispronunciations of the word "nuclear."

[@markcampbell7577]

The primary mover is not the necessary part of a power plant. Wind steam and fossil fuels are based on the Tesla generator bound with armature magnets. The armature magnets are not the necessary magnets of a generator unless you build the generator backwards.. The Edison generators use the armature magnets to move the armature magnets and coils of copper wire. The armature magnets are the primary mover of the generator but the electric power is from the field magnets of the generator and inverters and transformers are added to deliver high voltage AC power to the power lines.

[@sethother8012]

12:03 "Three Gorges Dam produces 22500 MW..." 12:11 "To put that into perspective, that's more than double the largest nuclear power plant which is almost 7500 MW" So, by "more than double" he means "more than three times as much," right?

[@matthewhauser9225]

[@douglasoliveira1588]

What is the typical ratio between how much energy a generator generates and how much it consumes (via exciter)?

[@raghu6084]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Wun31riNCpnbM

[@kls2020]

With a modern Static exciter this would be an easy calculation while for shaft mounted exciters you would have to calculate for the additional load torque on the Generator shaft . I suppose one could take the output voltage and current values from both the Pilot and Main Exciter outputs and use these to calculate losses in Watts(Horsepower) but this would not account for windage losses .

[@ameer1893]

Could you explain the reactive power , how can we imagine it?

[@jacobvandijk6525]

Perhaps this helps: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power#Reactive_power

[@user-bu2sc1bm7k]

There is something wrong with your rotor speeds of `1200 rpm.

[@markcampbell7577]

To evade high electric bills build an Edison generator from an old car generator chisel one sixth off and on the armature magnets to have motor oriented armature magnets and wire enough inverters to match the out put of the DC generator. The inverter deliver the same amperage of house current and uses 5smps. 46 amps per 40 amp inverter 110volt AC power continuous peak power without fuel. 140 amp car generator can power 120 amps of 110 volt AC power. 6 twenty amp outlets for Free.

[@markcampbell7577]

The Edison generator and dynamos power plants are very inexpensive and operated safely without fuel or pollution. These power plants can replace nuclear power plants and fossil fuels power plants appropriately banned by Treaties instituted by scientists to initiate survival and enlist the military.

[@elecengled7973]

[@traininginwindenergy4937]

The electric power generated in the stator comes from the mechanical power (torque) applied to the rotor axis, not from the current applied to the rotor winding. The interaction between the two magnetic fields in the air-gap is the key: one (equivalent) magnet is created by the rotor current, the other by the current (output) flowing through the stator. The attraction between these two magnets must be strong enough so that the mechanical torque on the rotor "pulls" the magnet of the stator, and transform the mechanical power in electric power. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ_Zg5t_l8-bmNE

[@markcampbell7577]

I have not seen this video yet but predict it will not be true. Edison generators use the field magnets to move the armature magnets and coils of copper wire and dynamos use the brushless motor as a generator the three armature magnets are moved by the electromagnetic field of the iron case. The motor does not consume electric power but produces electric power without fuel or pollution. Two field magnets drive three armature magnets the power draw turns the armature magnets faster be because the Tesla magnets on the armature have been removed. All generators need inverters to deliver high voltage AC power. The alternator was invented in the 1970s to make it difficult to modify generators to edison generators.

Spinning turbans?

[@jacobvandijk6525]

Spinning turbines.

[@markcampbell7577]

The armature magnets do not produce electricity. The electric power is coming from the field.. The armature magnets move the coils of copper wire and produce DC power an inverter is added to deliver high voltage AC power. All produce DC power and. Physical movement is not needed
