Another Tower

Another strange generator / transformer apparatus. I wouldn't touch any of this stuff; with power running in the building, it may be possible to turn things on with a high voltage surge.

Please remember that the comments posted here are not the opinions of opacity.us or its affiliates.

Maybe this was an emergency generator for the elevators in case of power failure it at least allowed people NOT to be trapped in them?

Turning on something like that would be something you might see on MythBusters when they blow stuff up....in a VERY controlled environment.

Don't need to have Southern Fried Motts around....we like your pix too much.

It hard to make out with any certainty but it looks like a pump motor with the bell housing still attached.

It looks a little like a giant spark plug.

Depending on location I would suggest that it is a drive unit for a submersible pump.
