Some big IBM mainframes used motor generators.
Motor Generators?
You mean a Gen Set? A generator with an Engine?
That is the absolute dirtiest source you can have. Nasa has a few clean runners.. BIG cat gen sets.. BUT they are made for power not clean power, none I've worked on anyway.. I was in charge of 3 CAT genset in Vegas at CES in 2003 and 5. The smart vendors figured it out QUICK.
People were putting their fingers in their ears, dirty power.. The casinos didn't have the juice, it was even WORSE..
A few Cooled the Power supply and were very successful in spite of it all.. I was at a Florida show .. EAR PLUGS it was so bad.. Hoody and ear plugs, YUP.. Everybody was bitchin'. Crap power, BOILING highs. Just bad. Could not get any of the Florida booths sounding right..
How important is the power supply? It's a "Elvis has left the building" thing for me...
