Tom Johnson, left, and Dave Light, researchers with ÐÔÓûÉç's , inspect the newly installed "Green Machine" at the Atkinson Power Plant Building.

The small engine uses waste heat to generate electricity. Facilities Services staff, including Bill Cox and Chilkoot Ward, assisted ACEP in setting up the system to run for 600 hours at the ÐÔÓûÉç power plant while they evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency for potential use in rural Alaska power plants. Once the test is complete it will be removed.
