We are on our way to the heavy water factory.
The amazing looking
generators in the power plant. Each generator is at 5.4MW There are two on each shaft, so every turbine delivers 10.8MW. This was the world's largest power plant in 1911. |
Here we see the two generators mounted on the same shaft.
To the right we see the magnetization generator.
Great to see so original machines.
Everything is unchanged from the plant started until it was shut
down in 1971
Nice Machines

It's hoping from the bridge. It's terribly high down.
We drive up to Gaustatoppen. Huge long hill from Rjukan and up.
Sheeps in the road at Gaustatoppen.
Had to remove them.
Long queues of people heading up to Gaustatoppen.
