War of the Worlds (hiding spot)?

[Mark Sedenquist]

A week or so ago, I stayed overnight at Great Falls, Idaho alongside the Snake River. What is really wild is that the local utility has built some sort of turbine device that captures the energy of the natural waterfalls and creates electricity, but you can't see anything obvious.



But the sound, oh my, the sound. It sounds alot like that weird sound those tri-pods made in the recent "War of the Worlds" movie as my brother, Dan , so aptly pointed out. Weird.


This one (above) is a close-up.


And this one (above) shows where those turbines must live -- but darn hard to see. Do you have any idea how this works? There are no visible power lines leaving the area.
