In Colorado\, the Gold King Mine was going bankrupt powering its Gold Mill with steam fueled by wood hauled by donkeys. Lucian Nunn\, Tellu ride banker & investor in the Gold King Mine & brother\, Paul Nunn\, an en gineer convinced Westinghouse to become the first Hydro power plant using AC generator\, AC transmission line\, and AC generators to operate the Gol d King Mine operations. This presentation tells the story this first desig n\, how equipment was delivered to Mine by the Rio Grande Southern Railroa d\, how the facility was built and 3KV transmission was run for 2.6 miles to the Gold Mill. After several iterations\, the current Ames Power Plant has been operational since 1905 generating 3.6 MW of power.\n\nSpeaker Bio :\n\nAl Schaffer holds a BS Physics\, MSEE\, and MS CS.
