Six US Gold Bullion Coins
Posted on October 2nd, 2009 No commentsGold coins of the United States were first struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1795. This gold coin production was made possible by the Mint Act of 1792 which authorized the ten dollar Gold Eagle, five dollar Half Eagle and the Quarter Eagle whose denomination you would be correct in assuming to be two dollars and fifty cents. So, you see it took a few years before the gold Half Eagles and Eagles were struck, followed by the $2.50 gold Quarter Eagles in 1796. Gold coins were produced in the U.S. more or less continuously until 1933 at the Philadelphia Mint and also at mints in Charlotte in North Carolina, Dahlonega in Georgia, New Orleans in Louisiana, San Francisco in California, Carson City in Nevada and in Denver, Colorado.
There are six denominations of the U.S. gold bullion coins that were produced during that period. By face value they are the twenty dollar Double Eagle containing one ounce of pure gold, the ten dollar Eagle with one half ounce of gold, the five dollar Half Eagle, the four dollar gold Stella (for the 5-pointed star on its reverse), the three dollar gold piece, the $2.50 Quarter Eagle, and last but not least the Gold Dollar weighing in at one-tenth of an ounce of pure gold. The Gold Dollar was produced in 3 design types in the years from 1849 to 1889. The Liberty Head is called Type I and was struck from 1849 until 1854. Type II is the Small Head Indian Princess and was minted from 1854 to 1856. Then from 1856 until 1889 the Type III Gold Dollar was produced and is called the Large Head Indian Princess.
The gold Quarter Eagle, of denomination $2.50 , was in production from 1796 through 1929. In the span of those 33 years the Quarter Eagle had eight major design types. One of the original authorized gold coins, produced only in 1796, is named for its having ‘No Obverse Stars’. From 1796 to 1807 was the Capped Bust, Stars type. The 1808 gold dollar coin type is called Capped Bust to Left. The years 1821 to 1827 saw the production of the type known as Capped Head to Left, Large Diameter, Stars Around Head. The 1829 to 1834 type is the Capped Head to Left, Smaller Diameter, Stars Around Head. From 1834 to 1839 look for the Classic Head type. The Liberty Head gold dollar was minted from 1840 to 1907. And the Indian Head is the type produced from 1908 to 1929.
The time period when 3-dollar Gold Pieces were produced is 1854 to 1889. The Gold Stellas also were only struck briefly, during 1879 and 1880. The five dollar denomination Half Eagles were minted from 1795 through 1929. Ten dollar Gold Eagles were struck between the years 1795 and 1933. And the period 1849 to 1933 saw the minting of the twenty dollar Gold Double Eagles.

What Are Industrial Diesel Generators?
Posted on October 2nd, 2009 No commentsA industrial diesel generator, also known as an industrial generator, is the combination of an electrical generator and a disel engine to generate electric energy. The most common uses for diesel generators are to power construciton sites or used as an auxiliary power supply for vehicles such as mobile homes or RVs.
Diesel generators range in all types of sizes starting from 8 kVA that can power homes to 2,000 kVA generators that are used for large office complexes or factories.
Ships also use diesel generators for main propulsion, but also to power their lights, fans, winches, etc.
Industrial diesel generators that operate without a connection to an electrical grid are known to be operating in island mode. Generators that operate in island mode often is the primary source of electricity for isolated communities, which often need at least three generators and sometimes up to 20 generators.
In addition to their main function as supply energy during power failures, industrial diesel generators also support main power grids for peak shaving and grid support. Peak shaving is taking the load off the utility grid during peak energy times and the generators support the grids in emergency standby mode.
Costs vary widely for diesel generators, depending on their size. If you’re looking to use for a generator only for short term use, you can look into generator rentals to find companies who rent industrial rentals out for specific amounts of time. As for fuel costs, a modern diesel generator will consume between .28 and .4 litres of fuel per kilowatt hour.
