Teamwork is essential to achieve this objective. The Federal Columbia River power system has grown from two multipurpose dams with a 2.6 million kilowatt capacity to 17 multipurpose projects completed or under construction with an ultimate installed capacity of 8.1 million kilowatts.
Hood scratched the side of his nose in a manner politely doubtful. "Sure thing, your Honour," he answered at last. "Sure the conditions was unusual. That feller has some juice and no mistake." "Juice?" inquired Von Koenitz. "Yare current. Whines like a steel top. Fifty kilowatts sure, and maybe more! And a twelve-thousand-metre wave." "I do not fully understand," interjected Rostoloff.
The learned gentlemen all agreed that the Atlantic could only be spanned by ultra-long waves of 10,000 to 20,000 metres, which would require the use of hundreds of kilowatts of power and receivers as large as a trunk, not to speak of antennas more than a mile long. Dr. Frank Conrad, who was also present at the conference, had brought with him a small short wave receiver less than a foot square.
The power house at Colgate has a capacity of 11,250 kilowatts in generators, but it is uncertain what part of the output is transmitted to San Francisco, as there are more than 100 substations on the 1,375 miles of circuit in this system.
The ship was five diameters out from Darth, and he'd released it from the landing grid fields. He turned and saw Hoddan. "What the hell do you want?" he demanded sharply. "A few kilowatts," said Hoddan. The redhead's manner was not amiable. "Get outta here!" he barked. The transformers and snaky cables leading to relays outside all were clear as print to Hoddan.
This stage had to be illuminated from a distance of over one hundred and fifty feet, requiring for the pageant over three hundred kilowatts power, enough electrical energy to operate thirteen thousand ordinary house lights, and by far the largest installation for this purpose that has been used in this country.
The technicians checked their recording voltmeters and ammeters and reported that, sure enough, some ten kilowatts of power at a little less than one hundred fifteen volts D.C. was coming from the Black Suitcase. Sorensen and Thorn sat in the tent which had been erected to ward off the sun's rays. They watched the lights shine.
His Jumbo machines, of 175 horse-power, so enormous for their time, have served as prototypes, and have been succeeded by generators which have constantly grown in size and capacity until at this time it is not uncommon to employ such generating units of a capacity of 14,000 kilowatts, or about 18,666 horse-power.
Quickly fastening them to his ears he listened. The sound was clear, sharp, and metallic, and vastly higher in pitch than a ship's call. It couldn't be the Lincoln. "By gum!" muttered Hood. "That fellow must have a twelve-thousand-metre wave length with fifty kilowatts behind it, sure! There ain't another station in the world but this can pick him up!" "NAA NAA NAA," came the call.
