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. http://youtu.be/6JyRY9aiMOQ Tim -- Trolls AND TROLL FEEDERS all go in my kill file |

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

Their web page says it was last used for emergency power generation in 2003. http://www.dieselhouse.dk/en/h-c-orsted-engine/ "where the amazed public gape at the 22,500 powerful horses unfolding in an inferno of engine roars and pleasant-smelling diesel fumes" 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. ;-) Tim -- Trolls and troll feeders go in my killfile |
