Monday, July 22, 2024: … Seen In This Photo => ..An Old Horizontal Volcanic Lava Formation:
…Which, In Creating This Crooked River Valley, The River Has Cut Down Thru It.
…..This Formation, Is Especially Interesting, Because The Once Molten Lava, As It Cooled, Made (As You Can See Looking Closely At Small Lower Part), Vertical Columns, Which Are Called “Devil’s Post Piles”.
These So-Called “Devil’s Post Piles”, Are Most Noteworthy, And May Be Seen At =>

…B) The Devils Postpile National Monument, a U.S. National Monument located near Mammoth Mountain in Eastern California. To See Wikipedia Article, Map, And 4 Photos, Click Here.
…Other Ancient Volcanic Lava Formations Are Seen All Over Oregon State, And Southern Washington State. See NEXT Photo For More Detailed Information.

… But, As ALSO Seen In This /\Above/\ Photo, Henry Gurr’s Brother Philip Gurr, Spotted The Quite Unusual One Million Volt, Direct Current Electrical Power Transmission Line, Having Only TWO Sets Of Main Wires. This Is Quite Different From Usual Alternating Current Electrical Power Transmission Line, Having THREE Sets Of Main Wires.

……Philip Went On To Say This Is Likely The DC Power Line, Bringing Lower Cost Power FROM The Grand Coulee Dam On The Columbia River TO Los Angeles, a distance of 1200 miles!. Click Here.

…Since Philip Had Extensively Worked At The Sylmar Converter Station” Click Here. , Which Is Located At The Los Angeles End Of This Extremely High Voltage Direct Current Electrical Power Transmission Line. He Can Spot Them Instantly!

…Please Know That This “Converter Station’s”, Purpose, is to convert the One Million Volt, Direct Current Electrical Power, into the usual Alternating Current Electrical Power, for distribution around Los Angelus.

EXPLANATION:
…Alternating Current (AC) Electrical Power is nearly always is used for modern electrical power, This is because AC Power can use Transformers to raise the voltage, and reduce current and thus reduce wire resistance losses tor long distance transmission. … Also THREE Phase AC Power, is very wonderfully effective for star-up of Electrical Motors, particularly very large motors.
,,,Thus for a variety of good reasons (including sentence above), AC Power uses THREE-Phases, on THREE larger equal size wires, AND if you see three equal sized current carrying power wires, then this is almost certainly AC Power.
. By contrast, if you see only TWO equal sized main current carrying power wires, then this is likely DC Power. And this is what you see in above photo, with the understanding that each of the two current carrying power wires, happen to be made up with two close- by parallel wires, both at the same voltage: Which in this case, a Positive 500,000 Volts on one side and a Negative 500,000 Volts, on other side, making this a One Million Volt DC Electrical Power Transmission Line!!!

Please Know That The REASON For Making This A TWO WIRE Direct Current One Million Volt DC Electrical Power Transmission Line, Is To Save The Considerable Cost Of The THIRD WIRE, Which Is Required In Alternating Current Transmission Lines.
