Edmonton High Level Bridge light display Dec 22 2016
On December 22, 1891 along the main street of Jasper Avenue in the tiny village of Edmonton, North West Territories, (population 700), the lights came on, and an amazing new era of “Living Better Electrically” began. To celebrate this 125th. Anniversary, a colorful light display was implemented on the Edmonton High Level Bridge, running From December 21st. to 23rd. 2016.

Emerson Repulsion Start Induction Run AC Motor
มุมมอง 322K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Edmonton Power Historical Foundation presents the Emerson 1901, one half horsepower single phase AC induction motor. This is a repulsion-start induction-run motor. It starts as a repulsion motor and runs as an Induction motor. Until capacitors were added to the split phase stator winding, this scheme provided the starting torque needed for high starting loads.

Thomson Houston 1880's Dynamo Generator
มุมมอง 13K8 ปีที่แล้ว
A Thomson Incandescent Dynamo generator rated at 30 kilo Watts, and 110 volts runs again to celebrate 125 years of electric lights in Edmonton. Some of the unique features of this 1880’s Thomson Houston are its Spherical (or Ball) armature, the round iron bars connecting the field poles, and the brass wire mesh brushes. An electric speed control is used to run the Dynamo as a motor with 12 volt...
Edison General Electric Dynamo
มุมมอง 82K8 ปีที่แล้ว
An Edison Direct Current 6 kilowatt, 125-volt, bipolar dynamo/generator comes alive in the Edmonton Power Historical Foundation (ephf.ca) Museum. We restored a vintage 1890 Edison dynamo which now runs as a direct current electric motor. The armature and field coil electrical integrity checked out okay, and the field coils were wrapped with manila rope. The base, frame, and wood terminal boards...

Preserving Edmonton Power Plant Parsons Steam Turbine part 1
มุมมอง 3.9K10 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a pictorial essay showing the preservation of a 75MW C.A. Parsons steam turbine following decommissioning of the Edmonton Power Rossdale Power Plant in 2009. In the fall of 2010, Edmonton Power Historical Foundation (EPHF) began the task of salvaging a large portion of unit 10 turbine and rebuilding it at the EPHF museum.
Mercury Arc Rectifier Video
มุมมอง 43K11 ปีที่แล้ว
This video was filmed at Fort Edmonton Park in September 2012, a month before the rectifier was permanently shut down and replaced with a solid state rectifier. The four bulb Hewittic Mercury Arc Rectifier supplied 600 volt DC to power the street cars at the park. Mercury Arc Rectifiers were used to convert AC current to DC to drive electric motors used in street cars, mine equipment, and eleva...

    Hi, the AC side is 422V, ot 600V. It's due to how we measure AC - it's actually 2*422, or 844V peak to peak, but if you straignten the sinusoide, you get 1/sqrt(2), that is 600V DC.

    There were even bigger versions of these mercury arc rectifiers that used steel tanks with the lids insulated by a ceramic ring from the tank. They were water cooled...And back in the day, diesel electric locomotives used a version of these mercury rectifiers called ignitrons......

    Your rebuilt Edison GE Dynamo is absolutely fascinating! I was curious: while that dynamo is running, when you stand close to it (without touching it,) can you feel/sense any of the charge it is producing? And does it produce any sort of smell while it is working? (Trying to fit it into a novel.) Thanks!

    very cool, but your animation is incorrect. Your rectified line is showing a full wave rectified signal from a two phase 180 out, but your animation only shows a single phase ac signal. You need two separate signals 180 degrees out from each other to achieve what you are showing.

    • @COBARHORSE1

      The transformer at the bottom of the diagram has a center taped winding. The center tap is used as 'ground' and the two ends of the winding are 180° out of phase.

    @InssiAjaton 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well, you nah I can learn something new every day!. On our farm, we had a few motors, one for our water pump and one Wye/Delta start a bit bigger one for various uses. Finally a big one (bigger than our that time transformer) for the heavy tasks. It wasa a wound rotor type, so it could be started with the limited rating of the transformer. However, a few times it blew the transformer primary fuses. I witnessed the replacement at least once. Later on, I was dealing with two repulsion motors used for pumping some chemicals through a plastic hose by pressing the hose with two rollers. Adjusting the repulsion lever you could adjust the flow rate. I looked at the description of the repulsion motor in the pump manual and some other places, never fully grasping it then. I think somebody damaged one of the motors, while the other one needed a number of times a replacement of the hose. That happened because the rollers made the hose work its way forward despite of holding clamps. Other times the hose just split under the rollers. That was before my graduation and I have not seen any repulsion motor or a video since then, until now. Thank you!

    6kw=8hp and since watts can be calculated by volts x amps, it means that this 6,000watt motor uses 48 amps which is a lot of electrons.

    noun British noun: dynamo; plural noun: dynamos a machine for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, typically by means of rotating coils of copper wire in a magnetic field. What would be more impressive would be to use your PWM drive to spin a motor belted to this dynamo and have it produce power as intended. That would stop the brushes biting the commutator as well.

    • @odeldodelhorst7549
      @odeldodelhorst7549 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      (Sry for bad englisch im from germany and we of course learn everything in german)Its the winding that makes a diffrence. I cant 100% explain it. The windongs of the rotor are placed in a way where the stator has more "way" to pull to the same phase again therefore the magnetic field pulls the stator over a longer distance in the same pulse with less tourqe of course.
