Default Enjoy this picture of a 4,500 HP electric motor

It is sitting on my truck:

http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/4500-hp-motor.jpg

It was used to power a big blower at a coal fired electrical power
station. Then it was rebuilt, then the power station was shut down by
the EPA. The power station is 96 years old. They have a 96 years old
bridge crane that is still operational.

The blower at iFly is 1,600 HP, and this is 4,500 HP, almost 3 times bigger.
