What is the equipment at [1] in the video? It looks like a huge room of large centrifugal blowers not connected to any ductwork. Is that some random AI-generated picture? From Los Alamos National Laboratory?

For comparison, here are some large centrifugal blowers from The New York Blower Company.[2] They're a standard industrial item, but unrelated to X-ray machines.

That picture certainly looks AI generated as that machinery appears fictitious. And what is the little house in the center? Control room? Guard booth? It's nonsense for sure. Disappointing.

Very cool. I have a ~750 kV VDG that sits around gathering dust in the garage because it's such a pain to keep the moving parts aligned and running smoothly. Might have to retrofit it with a C-W stack.

How much you want for it?
