Currently in Copenhagen about 400yds from this engine, and it's not running while we're here. Bugger, bugger, bugger, bugger.... :-( Just have to come back I guess.

It sounds like they start it with compressed air - is that right?

Dunno but isn't that the usual method with big engines?

I've no idea, 'tis why I asked. Thanks for posting the link. I see they run it for five minutes twice a month - guess that's the greenies at work again (plus the cost of fuel!)

When they run it, does it just tick over, or do they have a load on it to absorb some of the power?

I mean all of the power, except that used up internally.

I can't tell from the video. Maybe the short runs are because it's unloaded. Their web page says it was last used for emergency power generation in 2003.

Woo bloody hoo!! Turns out they're having a special start up today!!
Apparently you can pay about 2,500 Danish Krone for a special start up. (About £260). Sounds like the perfect birthday present. ;-)
