    Great addition to the first segment. They did a lot of drilling and blasting since there is around 12m between the floor levels. Ah the window to nowhere, they are psychological stability, the wall past the window would have had a large picture that may have been lit during "daylight hours". Crews living underground for a week could become time disoriented. Saw this in our missile complexes. The brass unit on the generator is more then likely an oiler for the pistons. I noticed a tag on the top of the generator is you ever get back it will give you all the information. I would say the place was the complex is late 50's early 60's, the screw-in fuses in most modern countries new construction after mid 60's were breakers. There being a walk way all around the rooms doesn't surprise me. Stay safe and the 2 of you keep up the great work. OH PRESS A BUTTON OR TWO

    Armstrong Siddeley made British cars, aircraft engines, and diesel engines, until they went out of business in 1960, so that's really interesting. Quite a truly fascinating find. The gap between the mountain and the building is necessary to prevent moisture build-up inside, and provide access to pipes etc, and to provide a Buffer Zone for air pressure flow around and through the complex. It's actually amazing it seems someone is still checking in on the place. Really a fantastic little piece of history. Great work team! Cheers!

    The room with the window was possibly a lounge with a picture of a city in the window to help with morale and to prevent mental breakdown because of the stress of working underground, not to mention ( I'm sure ) to prevent the horrible feeling of claustrophobia ... At least that's what I would like to believe.

      Given the very modern electricity meter the power is still connected, the red light is the mains supply indicator, you can just make out on the very left panel that one of the phase indicator lights is dimly lit, probably due to damp in the change-over switch. it is not uncommon for cold war bunkers to still have power connected as their supplies from the grid were state secrets and never disconnected.

    Awesome place, thanks for the extended look around the generator room, really enjoyed that. My take on what I saw;
    At 25:46, that is either a coolant pump for the engine jacket or an oil circulation pump. Looking at the pipework type and where it goes to on the engine, I would say it is oil. Engines of this size do circulate the oil through the sump and engine and sometimes heat it to make starting the engine easier. The pipes at 26:00 with the thermometer look more like the coolant pipes that then went under the floor.
    At 26:09, that looks like a standby diesel compressor for the air start system. You can see a hole in the end of the cover where the crank handle went through to manually start it.
    At 27:33, the pot will be the air reservoir for the air motor to crank the engine, that would be kept pressurised ready. At 27:38 above it, looks like the diesel fuel tank.
    28:02 gets interesting, on the left it looks like the brushes and slip rings for the generator and then further in are the stator coils for the voltage being generated. 115V does not sound right for the main generator, I would expect it to be higher circa 380V. 500 rpm would sound right for the diesel generator, hence why the multiple coils in the stator. I wonder if the 115V refers to the smaller unit right on the end at 28:15, the brush and commutator arrangement suggests a smaller secondary generator.
    28:26, I agree is the exhaust above the engine with the main silencer.
    29:12, the brass box looks like an oiler to me, with the flow of oil to specific bearing being controlled by each of the screws along the top. Next to it, does look like the main diesel pump.
    30:38 Looks like the main incoming electricity feed from another source, 400kW would supply about 100 homes nowadays. Their is an ammeter for each phase so you can see how well the load is balanced. The cos meter is power factor and basically measures the electrical efficiency. It is more for when running on the diesel engine, as you can control the excitation to improve efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.
    At 31:04 looks like the main generator control panel, with the main switch for transferring the power form the incoming supply to the generator. Doesn't look like there is a synchroniser to parallel up the generator to the mains, but I may have missed it.
    Once again thanks for the return tour!

    Very interesting. My military-mind guess for that window, was that room was a lounge area (near the kitchen and bathroom) and behind the window would have been a restful picture of the outdoors. All to help poor bunker-rat soldiers, who hadn't seen the outside for days or months, relax.
    The only sign I spotted was in English. Were there any other signs, markings or documents that provided a hint on who used that place? America or England during the occupation? German Army, post war? 1950s? 1960s? Great stuff. (But not normal WW2HistoryHunter explorations.)

    Assume this installation is located somewhere in Norway. The generator engine is a two-stroke Wickmann Diesel, manufactured at Rubbestadneset in Norway. The manufacturer is today part of the Wartsila Group.
    The "brass box" referred to is used for lubrication of the cylinder liners. Prelubrication can be done prior to start by rotating the crank manually, but it is continuosly operated by a shaft when the engine runs.

    30:36 COS fi, it's also known as power factor. Measures how much in phase or out of phase the AC voltage and current are. If the arrow points at 1, the load is active or very close to pure active and the power factor is at unity. Less than this means that there's either an inductive or a capacitive component to the load. Actually it's marked as "ind" and "kap" by the looks of it. That whole thing is basically a small power plant, with all the things you need to know about the produced power and it's usage.
    Also, very nice electromechanical frequency meters. These are working on the base of a mechanical resonance of a given part of the measuring dial that is surrounded by a very hing impedance coil. The coil is connected to the produced power and makes vibrating magnetic field with the same frequency as the produced power. Then a given section (square) of the dial starts to vibrate up and down, indicating the power frequency.

    Also, even though the generator auxiliary motor was pre 1960 the square meters on the generator electrical switchboard only came into use in the early 1980's, so the location was probably in use up until the breakup of the Soviet union and the retreat of the Russian armed forces.

    I would've pulled those levers in the engine room. Most likely the only thing that would happen is if theres some power going to everything is it'll blow a fuse or pop a breaker. Looks like most of the equipment in that room hasn't ran for sometime. Im doubtful the diesel engine would still be primed after all that sitting with no maintenance. The small room with the v-type compressor pumps may have been used for pumping water either out of the facility or in for supply . Judging by how much mold is in the place im guessing they had a hell of time with heating and cooling as well.

    Rooms with windows likely had behind the windows pictures or paintings of the outside world, so as to make it not feel like a tomb. Big V compressors are the airconditioning compressors, you probably had nearly a ton or R12 in the system, to provide cooling for the facility. 2 compressors so you can service the one and still have the aircon running to dehumidify the air in there, as likely it was otherwise too humid.

    Armstrong Siddely is a small generator set that is used to hand start the system, it provides enough power to light up a few lights, and then provide power to start the big generator set to run the systems. 5 cylinder, likely a diesel engine off of a locomotive brought in there. Left is the diesel pump, the right brass box is a lubricating oil pump, that feeds all the moving parts that do not get fed engine oil in operation, so they will be lubricated in operation.

    I really enjoyed this tour. I bet this place was decommissioned and before they sealed it up they ran a training exercise through it. From the looks of it lots of water leaks in through the airshaft plates. But not enough to flood the room just to keep pooling under the floor.
    Really wish you would have picked up some of the red casings. Were they .308 or .556? It would have given us a good estimate of when the government left. As this looks like a repurposed ww2 bunker for the british judging by the layout and paint. My guess is this is a 30s bunker used until the 60s/70s. But if the casings are .556 that would push the decade of decommission into the 80s/90s. As that is when the british switched to .556 and were closing down tons of bunkers due to cost saving.

It's funny on the electricity; I was watching the first video with my wife and asked her who is paying for the electricity to still be on when you discovered the light still on. That would be an interesting project within itself, but not at the forefront of historical discoveries. Like you and many of your followers, I wish people wouldn't vandalize finds like this. Great conclusion you two and keep them coming... I promise to try and catch up on all your postings :).

    A lot of the pump systems were for air and water handling. Armstrong Sidley was a British manufacturer so I'm guessing this was a NATO facility. Odd that there are no attached barracks areas. You may yet find some. Many cities around the world have WW2 and Cold War facilities that are lost and forgotten but still connected to the main grid simply because no one realises they are still there.

  • @ertyuiiknbvcx
    @ertyuiiknbvcx 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    4:27 I think this is a ground plane antenna, it has one vertical antenna rod on top that is the receiever and also four at the sides connected together as ground antennas and those was tilted 45 degree downward if it was made to fit the impedance of a 50 ohm coax cable.
    It may have been portable for putting on the ground, or it may have had a middle bottom rod just to get it higher up from the ground to receieve better. It may have recieved shortwave radio.
    The length of the rods is about 1 meter / 3-4 foot so it was in reality tuned to about 75 Mhz FM radio judging the lenght of the rods unless those once was longer, but that antenna can get both FM and shortwave too, not ideal length for shortwave but works on recieveing and perhaps transmitting SW to neartby areas too.
    It did most likely stand on the outside back in the days while the radio was standing on the desk.
    10:28 Likely incadescent light bulbs mounted in the stairs, before halogen bulbs, before compact fluorecent bulbs and also led light.
    20:50 Behind the window it was likely a landscape painting, likely made for the people to live as usual as they could while in there i guess.
    Back in the days they did belive things, like 130 years ago they did belive a vehicle that did go much faster than what a horse could ride would make people insane.
    They believed isolation from the world would do the same i guess so they made it to look like it was a home.
    Back in the days they also did belive that it was impossible to fly something heavier than air, like a airplane.
    They did belive lots of stuff back in the days and worldwide people still do.

    The "white stuff" from the safe could have been asbestos. Many old safes have a spaced inner liner with asbestos packed inside.
    If you have a safe like this in a building destroyed in a fire, the theory is that the contents survive. Legal documents, insurance policies or whatever, can be retrieved undamaged.
