With only a few hundred dollars in the bank, Pelton walked into the Soviet embassy in Washington, DC in January 1980 and offered to sell what he knew to the KGB for money.

According to other captives interviewed by Robert Young Pelton for CNN, Lindh was fully aware of the planned uprising, yet remained silent and did not cooperate with the Americans.

Shortly after his recapture, Lindh was noticed and interviewed by Pelton, who was working as an embedded journalist and stringer for CNN.

Pelton brought a medic and food for Lindh and interviewed him about how he got there.

Repeatedly Pelton asked Lindh if he wanted to call his parents or have Pelton do so, but Lindh declined.

Pelton indicated this round of layoffs was due to a " stalled lackluster economy " and noted that while the number of orders cancelled for jets has been decreasing new orders have not met expectations.

Lindh's parents maintain that Pelton acquired footage that was prejudicial and manipulative, and that Pelton contributed to the poor image of their son by sharing the footage with the world community without context.

It was invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s.

A working Pelton wheel was used to generate electricity in Southern California.

* Miners Foundry ( CHL No. 1012 ), 325 Spring Street, was the first manufacturing location of the Pelton wheel.

One of these pioneers was Platt Pelton of Putnam County, a tanner by trade, who came to Monticello in 1804.

Pelton also said the number of prisoners who suffocated in the containers was roughly 250, a far smaller number than alleged in Doran's documentary.

Ronald Pelton was dinged for,, &, for selling out to the Soviets, and ruining Operation Ivy Bells.

Spann was killed during a riot at the Qala-i-Jangi compound near Mazari Sharif in northern Afghanistan according to CNN reporter Robert Young Pelton.

Chester-le-Street was one of eight non-metropolitan districts into which County Durham was divided, and was formed form the areas of the abolished urban district of Chester-le-Street along with the bulk of Chester-le-Street Rural District, namely the parishes of Bournmoor, Birtley ( reduced in size ), Edmondsley, Great Lumley, Lambton, Little Lumley, North Lodge ( created from the part of Harraton outside Washington New Town ), Ouston, Pelton, Plawsworth, Sacriston, South Biddick ( reduced in size ), Urpeth and Waldridge.

Lester Allan Pelton ( September 5, 1829 – March 14, 1908 ) was an American inventor who contributed significantly to the development of hydropower and hydroelectric power in the old West and world-wide.

Lester Allan Pelton was born in Vermilion, Ohio on September 5, 1829.

Lester's father was Allen Pelton, Josiah's youngest son ; his mother was Fanny Cuddeback, she of another locally prominent family.

Pelton was watching a spinning water turbine when the key holding its wheel onto its shaft slipped, causing it to become misaligned.

Before Pelton, almost all water turbines were reaction machines powered by water pressure, or head, while Pelton's wheel was powered by the kinetic energy of a high velocity water-jet

In 1895, the largest installation of Pelton's wheel during his lifetime was accomplished at the North Star Mine Powerhouse, Grass Valley, California, by the engineer Arthur De Wint Foote, who designed and installed an over-sized wheel of 30 feet diameter ; it performed successfully, greatly increasing the hydropower delivered by the Pelton runners to produce compressed air for mining operations.

Pelton died in California on March 14, 1908, at age 78 ; he was buried at his family site in Vermilion, Ohio.

* Lester Allan Pelton produces the first operational Pelton wheel.

In the late 1870s Pelton modeled, tested and manufactured his first turbine wheel, dubbed the Pelton Runner — later referring to the impulse blades only — at the Miners Foundry in Nevada City, California.

In 1878, at the Mayflower Mine in Nevada City, he installed the first operational Pelton wheel.

Later designs such as the Turgo turbine, first patented in 1919, and the Banki turbine were inspired by the Pelton wheel.

Pelton designed and produced the cards for Upper Decks first three year rise.

The chair Piggy is strapped into first carries him to a huge vat ( labeled " SUPER SOUP FEEDER ") filling with gallons of soup from cans ; the mechanical arm then pulls on Piggy's nose forcing his mouth open to let in a torrent of soup through a feeder shaped like a Pelton wheel but with spoons as buckets.

The power plant itself produced 8. 4 megawatts of peak power from seven Pelton turbines, with an average output of 5. 5 megawatts ( limited by rainfall into the catchment ) 4 of which were in service from when the building opened in 1914, 2 since 1919 and the 7th since 1930.

The tradition for brass bands in the UK is continuing, and local communities and schools have brass bands, such as The Ouston and Pelton Community brass band, which draws their new members from more than seven local schools.

Alternatively, the Pelton wheel — by deploying a split double cup ( in effect two cups side-by-side ), then splitting the impinging water-jet directly onto the common vane of the double cup — captured a stream's kinetic energy more efficiently.

A statement by the company did not deny the allegations, asserting that Mr. Pelton was chosen for his field experience more than for his academic achievement.

For mountainous regions where a waterfall of 50 meters or more may be available, a Pelton wheel can be used.

Pelton wheels may be either vertical or horizontal shaft machines because the size of the machine is so much less than the available head.

The peak efficiency of a cross-flow turbine is somewhat less than a Kaplan, Francis or Pelton turbine.

First, the runner is less expensive to make than a Pelton wheel.

Third, it has higher specific speed and can handle a greater flow than the same diameter Pelton wheel, leading to reduced generator and installation cost.

The Turgo can handle a greater water flow than the Pelton because exiting water doesn't interfere with adjacent buckets.

The Pelton design provided 90 percent efficiency ( of converting streamflow kinetic energy to horsepower ) while the next best competitor achieved less than 77 percent — at a time when most extant water wheels typically rated less than 40 percent.

The village of West Pelton is located some distance to the west ; separated from it by a few villages and closer to Stanley than to central Chester-le-Street.

The springs, located about higher than the villa, generated enough water flow and pressure to turn a Pelton wheel, which ran the generator that furnished the villa's electricity.
