| Keywords: broken diesel generator dieselgenerator plant project 365 project365 outdoor After dropping Laura off at work this morning I headed out to an unusual venue for me, Bootle Strand. I was going to look at at a piece of furniture in the British Heart Foundation shop, but it opened at half nine, and I was there at nine. That game me time for a quick spin around the block where I happened across this slightly unusal view. This seems to be the backyard of a firm that supplies these huge semi-permanent generators. They're not than unusual a sight, but it is unusual to see them in a state of undress. It's not hard to guess what's in them - a fuel tank, a diesel engine which is almost certainly from a car, an alternator to produce current and some transformers and electrical switching. Here in the yellow box on the left we can see what looks like each of those in turn, running right to left. Behind the yellow generator we've got a white one in an even further state of undress which gives us a cracking view of the engine which does indeed look just like something you'd see under the bonnet of a van. Not a pretty sight, but for me at least, an interesting one. ETA: It's not a car engine! This generator in the front is an Atlas Copco QAS38, and that uses a Yanmar 4TNE98-ACG engine. Yanmar are a Japanese diesel engine manufacturer specialising in industrial and marine diesels...which fits. :) After dropping Laura off at work this morning I headed out to an unusual venue for me, Bootle Strand.
