Trevor Kryt of GeoDigital has some pretty neat things on the floor. Imagine being able to fly a transmission line with 6″ accuracy. He inputs the data to PLSCAD and they can do all kinds of neat things with it. Go see him and play with the toys he has
Hi campers. There are some pretty intersting things around here today. I met Art Becker, fleet specialist for ComEd. He has a full electrical hybred line truck on display. It runs on bio-diesel.
