Missouri S&T power plant steam whistle
Рет қаралды 94,571
Күн бұрынAfter 69 years of alerting campus to everything from the end of the workday to emergencies, the steam whistle atop the Missouri S&T Power Plant blasts for the final time on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2014. The coal-fired plant beneath the whistle will be decommissioned in the summer of 2014 and replaced by a new, energy-efficient geothermal system.

I love how it’s so loud even modern audio equipment can’t capture the sound without distortion. Steam power really is as much a living thing as any machine can be, whether it’s an electrical power plant, a ship or a locomotive.

I'd love to get those whistles but some employee from the plant probably got his hands on them.

You'd think for an iconic moment like this, someone could've at least rented a decent microphone that could handle the noise

That's the old water; filled with rust that was expelled by the steam.

Wet steam. The pipes were full of water from sitting. These whistles probably should have had the valves cracked open a little to dry them before the actual blow so that they wouldn't gurgle so much.

Not really! Geothermal power uses steam to generate power too, they just use the earths natural heat to boil the water instead of coal! Though I doubt they’ll still use a whistle, sadly.

Geothermal still uses steam….

Much larger though. Check out the York Pa whistle on here. Can clearly be heard 10 miles away

That’s a sized up railroad whistle, they use the bigger steam whistles for power plants, leave the smaller ones for the steamers.
