Electric generators revolve thousands of times per second? WOT? Did he mean to say per minute?,(reply>), Generators, once synced and connected, tend to stay synced on their own (unless a huuuuge change in demand happens).,(reply>), Tom hiself corrected his 	<br>rps-statement. check out the comments above.,(reply>), Water turbine rotation speeds are indeed in the thousands of RPM, not RPS.<br><br>Flywheels on the other hand can reach speeds of over 60 000 RPM, or 1000RPS.,(reply>), Gas turbines spin veeeeery fast. The best way to get more rotational energy is get more speed so the turbines (not generators) are designed to whiz around very quickly indeed.,(reply>), @nex Here in europe pages exist," you can observe the grid  and the frequency-chances in realtime. (<a href=""http://www.netzfrequenzmessung.de/"">http://www.netzfrequenzmessung.de/</a>)<br><br>The resulting pattern of the permanantly changes is unique for a given period of time and can sometimes be used in forensic investigations ...<br><br>Yes", it's absolutly amazing! A really <b>BIG</b> machine in perfect sync!<br><br>Fore some "green" dudes this all is just criminal industrial-aged garbage (they simply don't understand the technical background)
