Dunno about Morten, but in my case the local generating station
was having an open house, and giving tours through the plant.
Even with hearing protection, the hum was hypnotic.  I remember
standing beside one of its six 180MW generators, and noticing
that someone had balanced a nickel on its edge on the turbine
housing; thanks to small irregularities in the cast steel,
that nickel stood rock-steady while the turbine spun at 3600
rpm directly underneath.
