Electric-power production is a conservative business; it makes electricity just as it did more than a century ago-by driving copper wires through magnetic fields. That is all that happens in the huge, spinning generators of a power station. The rest of the massive apparatus-furnaces, boilers, turbines, condensers, etc. -is only to make the generators spin.

Plinth (see cut) carries sound as well as motion: at a certain point in the vibration cycle, the strip arcs out to strike a metal ball, which makes it resound like a gong...
