The common pole pig variety.

Neat video!

A lathe certainly would make it easy for coil winding.

it's more than meets the eye! wait what?

I thought Hasbro made them?

they should have a transformer transformer. they could call him sparky. he could sit on the pole all day until a autobot/decepticon pass by then jump on him.

How come when the Autobots attack the Decepticons they aren't blown to bits by their own airbags?

If I said Megan Fox was in that video completely naked you'd need new power supplies...

I saw that episode on TV one time. I love to watch that show from time to time. Satisfies my curiosity so I don't have to accidentally fry myself figuring out how something looks inside.

Also interesting: there is a very low manufacturing capacity for transformers - they just can't crank all that many out in short time - at least, not nearly enough to replace all of them on the grid of an entire region. So if that doomsday solar eruption delivers an awe-inspiring facial to Earth, we're kind of screwed, unless they can protect the transformers.

That would smell terrible, and yet so summery fresh.

How Transformers MOVIES are made:

Michael Bay: "OK Megan, now bend over. lower. lowwer. lowwer. Bingo perfect shot!"

Bay: "Cue the explosions guys!"

Bay: "OK guys that's a rap good work."

Megan: "But wait what are my lines, I don't even have a script. WTF is this film even about?"

Bay: "Don't worry honey no one's looking at your mouth. Besides we'll add it all in the FX room".

Bay: "Ok guys I'm heading home to masturbate with my money, see you at the screening!"

BTW nice video Ruby thanks! Is this "How it's made"?

one of the variants of it. This didn't sound like "How it's Made."

The number stamped on the side is capacity in kVA. 25 and 50 is pretty typical for residential neighborhoods. In the beginning where you see three of them on a pole is for a commercial customer that uses three phase power.

In the USA most of the time they drop the distribution (either 13.2kV or 33kV) down to 480V on each phase. The customer usually has a transformer for smaller loads and offices taking 480V to 208/120. HVAC/pumps usually run off 480V and lighting is 277V, etc.

Looks like they're making pole pigs to me.

Then again what do I know?

[Minerva]

Damn they make that look so easy!

 

[PottedMeat]

heh i remember this episode

wonder how much they save by going aluminum for the high current secondary and copper for the primary

 

[cKGunslinger]

That was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
