Dang! Bad timing.
 

Currently in Copenhagen about 400yds from this engine, and it's not running
while we're here. Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.... :-( Just have to
come back I guess.

It sounds like they start it with compressed air - is that right?

Dunno but isn't that the usual method with big engines?

I've no idea, 'tis why I asked. Thanks for posting the link. I see
they run it for five minutes twice a month - guess that's the greenies
at work again (plus the cost of fuel!)

When they run it, does it just tick over, or do they have a load on it
to absorb some of the power?

Dang! Bad timing.

I mean all of the power, except that used up internally.

I can't tell from the video. Maybe the short runs are because it's
unloaded. Their web page says it was last used for emergency power
generation in 2003.

Pleasant-smelling. Um, ok, whatever. :)

Woo bloody hoo!! Turns out they're having a special start up today!!

Apparently you can pay about 2,500 Danish Krone for a special start up.
(About £260). Sounds like the perfect birthday present. ;-)
