volte kya hai tip

( This isn't a sponsored video, but I am massively grateful to all the team at SSE! Go look: http://sse.com/whatwedo/ourprojectsan... , and pull down the description for more. )
As the world switches to renewable energy - and we are switching - there's a problem you might not expect: balancing the grid. Rotational mass and system inertia are the things that keep your lights from flickering: and they only appear in big, old, traditional power stations. Here's why that's a problem, and how we're likely going to fix it.

CORRECTION: I say that turbines spin thousands of times "per second" when it should be "per minute". Apologies. You can find all corrections on this channel at https://www.tomscott.com/corrections/

Thanks to all the team at SSE! FULL DISCLOSURE: This is not a sponsored video, no money has changed hands, and SSE did not have editorial control. But they did go out of their way to arrange access and support for me and my team, including giving us safety training for working at heights. I am incredibly grateful to all the team: Paul and Ed for arranging it all; Bob and Scott who helped us at the turbine; and Calum, Head of Operations, who was keeping an eye on safety throughout.

The drone footage is from Cyberhawk, http://www.thecyberhawk.com: they normally do turbine inspections and land surveying, so I'd like to thank them for getting some artistic shots for us too!

And finally, my camera operator was Paul Curry, @cr3, who's written a more experiential post with photos for Buzzfeed: https://www.buzzfeed.com/paulcurry/we...

Victor Gruen is, according to history, the man who invented the shopping mall... but that wasn't quite what he was aiming for. And it seemed like an appropriate day to do a video about suburban sprawl -- happy Independence Day, America!

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - On a windy day in Gloucestershire, I find one of the few parts of the once top-secret GPSS aviation fuel pipeline (now called CLH-PS after privatisation) that pokes above ground, and explore the balance between secrecy and safety.

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - Trademark rights are an interesting thing. You can see this thing from all over the city of Los Angeles: but if you want to use it for anything commercial, well, then you're going to start having some trouble.

THANK YOU to Ed from Media Giraffes for sharing his drone footage! Go check out his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/mediagira...

THANK YOU to Ali Jardz for holding the camera for me, and for putting up with my having an ulterior motive for the hike through Griffith Park! You can see him here: https://www.youtube.com/user/RogueBlu...

Glaciologists will find this video obvious. Everyone else... well, maybe I slept through a bit of sixth-grade geography, but I didn't know this, and I reckon I should have done. Pull down the description for more!

I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! http://generatorevent.com

Thanks to all the team at Quark Expeditions - http://www.quarkexpeditions.com - who made it possible for us to get there, and whose crew and staff on board were just amazing! In particular, thanks to Colin Souness, geologist and glaciologist, who fact-checked my script. You can see him over at Quark's YouTube channel in 360-degree video from Antarctica: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3kSk...

The fellow traveller at the end is Elmo Keep - http://elmokeep.com - who's writing profiles of the people we meet out here: follow her on Twitter to see it when it's published! https://twitter.com/elmo_keep
