Water is a bit less forgiving than steam, it has great resistance to changes in position or velocity. I suspect that closing the generator created a water-hammer, which physically or mechanically destroyed the machine.

It's just "blackhat" SEO. Reminds me of a scheme in China where a company sold fake medicines and astro-turfed their way into appearing as a major supplier. So long as our view of the internet is governed by opaque algorithms

If the phase is not quite matched, you get power swing and mechanical oscillation. If you get it very wrong expect pole slip http://supachaisabua.blogspot.com/2013/09/2.html?m=1

There can be issues with a line-commutated inverter or asynchronous generation (wind-farms might have both) if the fault level is too low (synchronous plant too small or too distant). More recent research has shown the benefits of adding gr

To connect two regions, we align the phase of the two islands. As the voltage across our switch bank falls to zero, we close the switches. It's not a big difference from between synchronizing a generator. The phase is aligned by reques

The MCAS may not have been designed as an anti-stall system, but that doesn't necessarily mean it functioned according to design. The possibility for multiple activations integrates the control response, converting feedforward control

$1.50 per day is about $45 per month, $80 per month would be 175% of income, so I'd hope that there was a second income earner in the family.
