Well, actually seeing one with guys climbing in and out of it kinda puts it in perspective. Again, wow!
BTW, the page says that at least some of the photos are from a plant in Japan. The second to last picture was definitely taken in Korea. Note the big signs in the background written in Hangul. I suspect most or all of the pics were taken in S. Korea, probably in a Hyundai plant.
When electricity goes down around here they can start a big air compressor (diesel powered) and via some valves make the engine easier to turn (no compression) and then use compressed air in one of the cylinder rows to get it turning and thats it... then it goes on oil starting to make power which is feeded to the bigger power and district heating plant (80+130+60 MW boilers) making it possible to run the plant and then start up the grid (and heating) locally.....
It is a lovely "noise" standning next to one of them beasts. Unfortunately i have not heard about any of them running on biodiesel........ My production would not last long anyway i am afraid....
Good evening
