Old moron

rather see them in action
Comment from : Georgie Ippolito

In Az they raised a hydroelectric dam which put out like a megawatt for a hundred years They killed all the game fish and replaced them with “native” species, fish nobody likes and removed all trace of the dam so one could not show a child one generations legacy to the next for them to care for and pass on What does a country need terrorists for when we have environmentalists? Biden is squandering our fracking boon and leaving the natural gas market for the Russians when one unit of Russian gas is equal to four units of American gas; a case could be made that by displacing Russian gas we are net cleaning the environment

Excellent explained, VERY POORLY filmed

"3-phase split rings"?brbrPretty sure he meant to say "slip rings"
Comment from : drlegendre

I'm glad this video reminded me of this placebrI live a few miles away, and want to see it in personbrAlso exlplains what I see when I drive by, or paddle my kayak up the river therebrThe wall at the dam still remains, and is obviously very old, but the forebay is gone, so did not know what the wall was for, until nowbrVery cool video, and love the nice man explaining things, even though he made a few mistakes

Love how Nikola Tesla made AC power the WORLD and continues to this day Thomas could not match him

Lovely old guy, probably older that the plant "Here we have the permanent magnet" bshaky hand points to a field coil/b

It's so nice to see that Edison himself is still giving tours of his former power generation plant

Edison tech center showing Tesla's invention, 🙂 something great in 2020

DC good

AC bad

This gen station seem to be an overkill for a prison complex

Thank you sir,,for the information
Comment from : Geelhu ട channel

Very interesting,,,love history,@ bill love you're voice also,,it's soothing and calming!!!!!
Comment from : Shawna Burns

I wonder if a team of average electrical engineering undergrads would be able to figure these things out and get them working again, Mad Max style
Comment from : Wojciech P

Were these type of power houses (water powered) common in the US in the early period of electrification?

educational i wish the old guy didnt stutter so i could absorb more info lol

I wonder why they put the field windings in the stationary position while running all the power through slip rings and brushes? Modern alternators always put the field windings on the rotor and the stator windings generate the power, which never has to go through a moving connection

I thought the old fellow had mixed up watts and amps hope I am as in good a shape at his age I first thought that on the 750 watt gensets, way different 750 amps I just wish I had saved the one at dryden washington, that powered wenatchee, it was still perfect when I saw it with all the guages and gensets through ww1 now gone, sob

What powered the field of the field generator
Comment from : maynardr6

absolutely beautiful setup!, now to get in there and complete the restoritive process, almost sacreligeous to leave dangleing wire, and burned out switches, almost looks like a rank amatuer tried to put the place back together and had no clue or ran out of parts

annoying narrator
Comment from : Felix thecleaner

I visit this place still old family go-too as a kid The curator was off on a few points The dc field generators were 500 amps not watts And the 3 phase generators were not 750 watts
Comment from : EBBCO REPAIRS

Great video Thanks for making and sharing it
Comment from : SixSixSix

What a fascinating lecture What I wanted to know is did the powerplant have to stay in phase with other plants on a grid, or was it a self contained system? The other question would be how did they balance the load to keep the voltage from leading the phase, or did they just burn out generators like our example here?

I always think it is SO AMAZING how so soon after the "Discovery" of electricity we developed machines to handle and generate it in such magnificent fashion These machines were made to last a literal lifetime and beyond There seemed no end to the creativity of the machines that were produced so early on in our affair with electricity brbrMr Nikola Tesla should have been treated like a GOD instead of being MIS-treated by the Greedy Rich Corporate Assholes of the day It's a Disgrace how he was treated and it angers me that it was ever allowed to occur Mr Tesla (whom several times wished many of his inventions would serve humanity for FREE) should have died an unimaginably wealthy man ! Instead of poor and alone Its an absolute disgrace The corporations that are still in existence because of his ingenuity should continue to generate massive amounts of money from his early workto this day! They should be ashamed of themselveslotsa luck I guessbrbrSomeday I will write the "Adult Version" of American History Bet its a Best Seller !

Only 500 watts from the giant DC generator? I got a couple of solar panels that can do that during the day time It would seem that being such a large DC gen it would make more power than that? Hmmm?
Comment from : shartne

This seems kind of old school but more people really need to learn and be able to do the formulas and basic engineering for AC and DC generators/motors These days with more electric cars, solar power and other things becoming more common we need to absorb basic info so we can take full advantage Learn about phases and how they work How to control them How to pick the right motor and battery Get past the marketing voodoo 20 of all people on Earth need to know these things

Stay tuned this winter for more videos on other early power sites by GE and Westinghouse!
Comment from : EdisonTechCenter TechCenter

The turbines were horizontal, driving the horizontally mounted generators (You can actually put your head inside a turbine through a cutaway) The govenor of one generator failed, causing an overspeed that resulted in it exploding due to centrifugal force The man on duty was in a phone booth there and was not injured To this day you can see parts of the generator imbedded in the vaulted brickwork overhead, two stories up Search Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park for hours
