The turbo-generator should be lubricated by a small amount of black or engine oil, placed in the cup on the turbine or steam end.
The water-glass, steam and air gauge lamps in the cab, and the number indicator lamp in the headlight case should light up as soon as the turbo-generator reaches full speed.
On the generator end, the oil should be maintained within one-half inch of the top of the hinge-cover cup; using black oil.
We haven't enough left to keep the generator going!
One feature of the lamp that requires special attention is the opening G, through which the vapor from the generator is discharged into the induction tube.
The generator is inclosed in a sheet-iron box, which is located at any convenient place in the building.
With gasoline stoves of this kind, the supply tank is elevated, in order that the force of gravity may give sufficient pressure to send the gasoline into the generator while the flame is burning.
When the generator is sufficiently heated by the generating torch, the needle valve N is opened by pulling the chain P.
The “water to carbide” generator is shown diagrammatically in Fig.
The gasoline passes through the wick B, largely by capillary action, as it must enter the generator against a pressure greater than that afforded by the pressure tank.
Although these plants are sometimes used for lighting and heating dwellings, their use is limited, for the reason that variation of the number of lights requires the generator to be regulated to suit the change in the gas supply.
Boulevard lamp with generatorin the base of the lamp post.
Install Delcotron(R) Generator and check belt tension, mounting bolt tightness and make sure all electrical connections are clean and secure.

When the bulb is in use, the neck n is provided with a tinfoil coating, which is connected to the generator and acts inductively upon the moderately rarefied and highly conducting gas inclosed in the neck.
The direct conversion of electricity into heat; the generator fully described.
We will now describe the manner in which this principle has been realized in the practical construction of both a thermo-magnetic generator and motor.
The switches most essential are those for opening and closing the motor and the generator circuits of the charging sets and with these usually are associated the starting rheostats of the motors and the field rheostats of the generators.
The method most widely used is to equip the waystations with magneto generators which produce direct currents only; such a generator cannot operate a polarized ringer.
The dynamo for charging the storage battery is, of course, a direct-current machine and may be a part of a motorgenerator or it may derive its power from some other than an electric motor, such as a gas or steam engine.
Circuit-breakers are adapted to open motor andgenerator circuits when their currents are too great, too small, or in the wrong direction.
The ability to carry the load of a central office directly on the charging generatorwithout the use of a storage battery is of no importance except in an emergency which takes the storage battery wholly out of service.
It requires merely that no waystation shall have a generator which can ring a bell.
An important one to be known is the voltage of the generator before beginning a battery charge, so that the generator may not be thrown on the storage battery while generating a voltage less than that of the battery.
Usually some translating device, such as a motor-generator or a mercury-arc rectifier, is employed to transform the commercial current into the specialized current required for the immediate uses of the exchange.
This may be done by connecting it directly to the charging generator with temporary leads and thus bring it back to its normal condition.
It is, however, not quite as convenient to use as the later common-battery systems which require no turning of a generator crank.
If a person at Station A desires to call Station E, he inserts his plug into the jack of line E at his station and turns his generator crank.
They went over and sat down on the contragravity-field generator housing one of the rented airjeeps.
The throbbing of the contragravity-field generator and the sense of rising worried him at first, but after they had picked up the harpy with the grapples and risen to five hundred feet he began to enjoy the ride.
If the family is the chief generator of altruism in human society and if society depends upon altruism for each forward step in moral progress, then the family is the chief source of social progress.
The former is considered to be paraglobulin, a substance contained mainly in the white blood-corpuscles, while the fibrinogenous generator is held in solution in the plasma of the blood.
A platinum wire made white-hot by the passage of a current is sometimes used to light lamps, as shown in figure 96, where W is a small spiral of platinum connected in circuit with a generator by the terminals T T.
The capacity of the condenser was increased and instead of the battery a small generator was employed so that a spark 1 1/2 inches in length would be discharged between spheres 3 inches in diameter.
The generator consists of a small "influence" machine, which is started by pressing the thumb- key C on the side of the box.
The Bell telephone is virtually a small magneto-electric generator of electricity, and when two are joined in circuit we have a system for the transmission of energy.
The record of the interior rear viewplate shows members of the crew climbing toward the rear rep-ray generator in an attempt to establish manual control of it, and increase the lift.
Then the forward rep-ray generator exploded, and all signals went dead.
The internal resistance of the motor should be proportioned to the resistances of the generator and the conductors leading from the generator to the receiver.
In consideration of these facts the Council voted not to accept any radium emanation generator which produces less than 2 microcuries of emanation during twenty-four hours.
The generator started again, and the lights came on.
The water that he had poured into the boiler quickly turned into steam, and the steam turned the generator briefly.
The generator was not turned by the main turbine, but by a small reciprocating engine.
The electrical generator is of the Wimshurst type, and is shown in a large glass-enclosed cabinet on the right.
The motor generator consisted of one alternating current motor driving two direct current generators.
Then the current was conducted from the transformers through switches to the motor-generator sets and became the power employed to operate them.
I'll set the electric generator to give a hotter spark and one at shorter intervals.
Soon the hissing of the gas generator told that vapor was being forced into the bag.
They saw the gaunt figures separating and rising out of the water as they retreated shoreward, and one of them raised the camera-like generator of the Heat-Ray.
Neither is the composition of the Black Smoke known, which the Martians used with such deadly effect, and the generator of the Heat-Rays remains a puzzle.
In the figure, the generator and motor are rotating clockwise, and hence each generates an electromotive force tending upwards from the lower brush to the higher.
The magnetomotive force in a motor armature is, therefore, opposed to the direction of that in a generator armature, when the direction of rotation and the direction of the field magnetomotive force are the same.
The drop between the generator and switchboard should not exceed one-half per cent.
But it remained for Koch to bring light upon the conjectures of other scientists, and he established the fact, that the bacillus discovered by him was the real generator of pulmonary consumption.
Even in the year 1882 he has made known to the world the evil spirit in describing the tubercle-bacillus as the specific generator of tuberculosis.
The alternating current generator obtains its name from the fact that there are no regularly-defined north and south poles at any part of the circuit, as these keep changing continuously, or alternating.
But the cause is different from its effect: the generator or father is different from the generated or son.
This, then, would be the profitable--the cause or generatorof good.
Inefficiency of economizer, by reason of which heat obtained by the expenditure of steam in the generator is passed on to the absorber and there uselessly imparted to the cooling water.
The admission of the steam thus causes the absorption of heat in the gasgenerator where the decomposition takes place, this heat being again evolved on the subsequent combustion of the hydrogen.
Of course, also, the nitrogen associated with the oxygen in the air admitted to the gas generator passes on with the carbonic oxide gas, this nitrogen acting as a dilutant and being of course absolutely useless as a generator of heat.
