That’s cool.

I used to work in a nuclear power generating station in their engineering department. There is something about the sounds of large pumps and EDGs that I find attractive.

I recently got to tour a cruise ship. We got to walk past the engine room. About 5 x 15,500 HP DHGs chugging away. Wow that was cool.

I worked with a guy that started out as a ME for a specialty pump manufacturer. He said they’d plaster labels all over their ceramic lined pumps (abrasive slurries, etc.) about opening the pump to verify pump-motor-electrical polarity, and people would still end up turning on the newly installed pump, running it backwards, breaking the impeller to bits while it unscrewed in its housing.
