Oh, the silence of that beast spinning up is magnificent.
The exciter shaft is more of an eccentric than a shaft.
They are designed to be so that the brushes don’t stay static and get stuck from dirt build up.
Maybe a little wobble but I guess not that much
@@TeamSteversyes, but just a bit. This much will lead to an early failure of the bearings/bushing
Thats what makes it exciting....
In a shafterly manner..... 😂😂😂😂
POWER!!!!!!!!!!! ( and yeah, you really need to get that shaft centered better, or you'll blow your bearings/bushings )
Guess it's designed for such ? In my world thad be a no go. But I'm not doing generators.
The illusion of those holes in the rotor going in reverse is trippy

The algorithm has found you.
I don't know why I'm suddenly into hydroelectric generators 😂 as a kid I was always fascinated by machines with spinning components from fans in computers, hardrives, generators, flour mills control panels and what not
Definitely made my Saturday fresh coffee and new videos. This is a happy sounding generator can't wait to hear her power up thanks Chris you and the fellas bootsie, lunchbox and meat it's wonderful to see what you guys are up to
There a few things that give me nervous tingles everytime I have to work with them : High Voltage, Hydraulics and Big rotating masses... This has it all and I would want to fuck around that thing and he sticks his whole arm in to film it🤯
I do a lot to make these videos, there's a huge effort involved.
@@Physicsduck I think everybody can tell that you are going the extra mile to get good shots... As long as your last video doesn't end up on liveleak, we are going to appreciate the effort✌️ Keep up the good work man❤️
Your content is some of the best informative content on CZcams. So glad the algorithm sent your channel to me. Not sure where you are but Hi from Michigan
I've always wanted to fiddle with old tech powerplants, your living the dream
it spins very nicely.
Awesome video man, keep it up! I love your passion for this and the approachable and funny ways you present complex subjects.
So cool! Thanks Chris!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching! :)
That mercury tube looks almost identical to the ones used on really old boilers at a place i worked at. Def the right piece for the job, very reliable ❤🤓
that disclaimer was comedy gold. Love it!
So when going from stop to start was there a brake being released or was it just the vanes being opened?
I see that the brushes are tracking the slip rings but is being off-center that much acceptable?
No, this is just the first test. She'll get brought into spec as we go. We want a tiny wobble, but not that much.
@@Physicsduck I would like 1 wobble to be used at a time! The other 2 should be kept back in reserve!
@@Physicsduck Why do you want a tiny wobble? Wouldn't you want none?
@@Physicsduck I'm curious about the reason behind wanting some wobble vs as little as possible (none if it were practical).
@@Sevalecan Just a guess, but perhaps to exercise the brush holders a little so that they don't stick in one position and arc?
Thank you very interesting loved this
so...is the shaft bent??
does it "straighten up" with more speed (like the bearings require a specific speed to "center up"??)
.
or is it just old... and you are gonna let her wobble?
...no self centeribg....its just the slip rings(seperate from main rotor)off center...super quiet under normal operation(s).
would have been pretty cool to make a long thermal video of the first spinup, then again as it's put into service, just to see how things heat up and reach a steady state under normal ops.
Looking forward to see it spun up and on the grid
Holy shit that disclaimer is gold
is there nothing you can do about the wobble of the top brushes? this is not good and also will cause a lot of wear
1:00 today I learned that hydroelectric generator rotors have oil…
How old is this equipment?
What does the mercury switch do? Is there an earlier video showing it?
It's an overspeed sensor, and yes, it's covered in earlier videos in this series.
Thats not a big generator. Its a tiny generator.
Wow silence. ASMr vid needed
