Don't forget the zombie abatement costs.

If vampires are immortal, can they safely drink blood type X?

Thnx as always Motts! I always love to see big machines. I had spotted this place with Google Earth some time back. Now it's gone so the location can be revealed. Thanks for letting us experience these things through your efforts and your camera!

HNY 11 to all!

It's the Soylent Green food processor.

I wanna lick that stuff!

Old school automatic. Has a coupler on that weight cable that will melt and separate in a fire, allowing the door to roll closed. At least that's the plan.

Is an unused chair really lonely? I mean, having somebody's ass in it's face all the time? And they don't even get to choose whether it's a nice ass or not. Maybe the chair likes getting a break? The fresh air has to better than what it got before!

I'll go with another building that was on that foundation. Now it's the high dive for the zombies.

Not just looks like one. It was used to hang and display disobedient workers.

My entering that area would be futile.

Oh man, I'm almost never first! Look out for the ZOMBIES!

Thnx a bunch for engine house pics Motts! Great historical writeup too!

Nobody stole our lunch, 1042. We gave it away. See your elected official.

A reciprocating engine. Perhaps torn down for spares in the last days as the plant was gasping it's last breath.

An interesting note about the power grids in the old steel towns. They were built up to sell the massive power needed to the mills. Now the infrastructure is way more than needed and costs a fortune to maintain.

I seem recall numbers on the old monsters where the giant flywheels were ran 60 to 70 RPM max to keep them from disintegrating. I think the new giant high tech ship engines can be as low as 80, then up to near 500. Heavier parts move slower.

Note the questions in the video about the origin of the engines. Done in a day when citizens cared whether we had a manufacturing base or not.

Zombies crawl out of that!
