And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That is a volute (AKA housing) for a very large centrifugal pump. The vehicle is inside the discharge pipe. The horizontal flange on the left is where the rotating element (bearing housing, packing, and impeller goes.) Atop the rotatating element is where a direct drive motor is flanged to the rotating element via a distance piece.
The finished product will be able to move a crap-load of water or some other liquid product. Given the size of this monster, it could fill dozens of olympic size swimming pools in a few seconds.
I wonder if it is. In my experience a centrifugal pump volute has a constant expelling diameter, not a progressive conical aperture such as this. I'm wondering if this is a collector for a hydro-dynamo, and the pickup truck is parked at the inlet end instead. In this configuration, the incoming water, as it's driven to an ever-decreasing cross sectional area, would be moving at a higher and higher velocity as it nears the turbine. I'm guessing it's application is hydro power generation.
No no no, you've got it all wrong! That's the Horn of the Last Trump, they've been working on it for a long time:
"1 COR 15:52 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, ..."
So you see, those guys were just getting ready for Trump, and now we've got him!
At first I thought this was from the Hoover Dam generator room. Then I noticed the notation in the lower left, "Escher Wyss". It was a Swiss company that "also manufactured the hydraulic systems of hydroelectric plants."
nope. you are all wrong. it is actually the new turbocharger for the latest bmw engine in the mini. it is an effort to increase the airflow thru the engine to increase power output/...

Thanks for the info. I wonder where it went when completed? A dam, perhaps?

DeleteBolder dam implement, maybe? If they had shaped it properly they might have come out with a steel Klein bottle**

Looks like a scroll case for a hydro-electric generating unit.

Behold! I tell you a mystery.

That's the part that a penstock connects to in order to transfer the falling water from a hydro-elec dam into rotational energy to turn the turbine.
ReplyDeleteI showed this to the gastroenterologist who performed my colonoscopy recently. He confirmed that it is not a medical school proctology anatomy tool.
ReplyDeleteIt is the valuate for a turbine generator.
