I have never worked with motors anywhere near that size bit did get to see the results years ago of what happens when you bring a hydroelectric generator online extremely out of phase with the grid.

Buddy of mine bought a new truck with some of the overtime he got.

I too had a friend who worked on small hydro stations. He told me about being inside the mechanical housing of a 2MW axial-flow machine when the generator went out of sync due to a problem with the PLC programming for the inlet guide vane actuator. He said the vibrations were severe.

Steely,

Saw your screen tag...

“If the Constitution can be a living document, I guess a corporation can be a person.”

Montana just voted a state Amendment that says a corporation is not a person, therefore it has no Constitutional rights.

I believe their intention is to challenge campaign finance laws in the Supreme Court.

It seems like that creates some alarming issues.

For instance, if a corporation has no rights, why can't the state of Montana seize a Walmart store and distribute all the merchandise to the poor?
