   Generators were provided to the hospitals and the telephone company by a traveling circus and a local coal company. Additionally, prisoners were sent from nearby areas to help dig graves. [2] [8] [18] This tornado helped disprove the myth that tornadoes do not occur over mountainous terrain. People reportedly flocked to Shinnston from far away ...

3. Atmospheric electricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_electricity

   A depiction of atmospheric electricity in a Martian dust storm, which has been suggested as a possible explanation for enigmatic chemistry results from Mars (see also Viking lander biological experiments) [25] St. Elmo's Fire is an electrical phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by a coronal discharge originating from a grounded object.

4. Global atmospheric electrical circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_atmospheric...

   A global atmospheric electrical circuit is the continuous movement of atmospheric charge carriers, such as ions, between an upper conductive layer (often an ionosphere) and surface. The global circuit concept is closely related to atmospheric electricity , but not all atmospheres necessarily have a global electric circuit. [ 2 ]

5. Vortex engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_engine

   Air-driven turbines (21) in constrictions at the inlet of the cooling tower (61) drive electric motor-generators. The generators begin to function only in the last stages of start-up, as a strong pressure differential forms between the base of the vortex arena (33) and the outside air (31) At this time, the bypass louvers (25) are closed.

6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

   The dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering power for industry. The Woolrich Electrical Generator of 1844, now in Thinktank, Birmingham Science Museum, is the earliest electrical generator used in an industrial process. [4] It was used by the firm of Elkingtons for commercial electroplating. [5] [6] [7]

7. Northeast blackout of 2003 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003

   Suddenly bereft of demand, generating stations go offline, creating a huge power deficit. In seconds, power surges in from the east, overloading east-coast power plants whose generators go offline as a protective measure, and the blackout is on. 4:10:37 p.m. The eastern and western Michigan power grids disconnect from each other.
