Just got back from the Power Gen Convention in New Orleans ...... thought I'd post a couple pics ya may like.

The new Kawi Turbine Engine...way over 1,000 hp ..... ignore the top part of the exhaust that's just for pollution control



Kawi's Booth


My company's competition "mascot" lol ..... gotta get an outfit for our secretary



I did make it to the French Quarter....sorry no night pics



Good Food Too.....Yummmmm ie

 

MMMMMMMMM good food, I kind of feel sorry for that gal in the costume, did she lose a bet?

 

Funny ya say that Deej, I talked to her (imagine that lol) and she's the Owner's daughter...lol ... a whole 23 years old ...... the pic does not do her justice,trust me and she luvs mud bugs.

 

mmmmmm...crawfish

We went down to help some folks out in Gulfport, Miss.after Katrina and it turns out that one of their family members owns a restaraunt. Well with all of the food going bad in the freezer he decided to cook it all, made this pasta with crawfish in it and it was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Tried to make it myself, and got close, but the ****es just aren't right. I need to get back down there and get some more soon.

 

Man those oysters and crawfish look good.

 

Is that a Dual centrifugal compressor? I've never seen that before, I thought the ducting losses were too high to even consider it. That thing is not used for propulsion, must be running machinery or tanks or something. Although it might fit on that Concours[sm=goodidea.gif]

 

Yep, neat huh. That one would be set up to run a generator. NOx emissions are guaranteed to be less than 2.5 ppm.........kawiis the only mfg of a turbine with those specs.

 

Oh the Bengietes (sp) are also good in New Orleans.

 

Good lord, man! The oysters and crawdads looked delicious, but that thing looks like a heart attack to me.

 

Ha Ha Ha ...... They're healthy, it's only deep fried dough covered with powered sugar a New Orleans staple.

Better to burn out than fade away. Besides I ate my veggies.
