5/20/2008: The Easter Island Conference. [Back to NEWS]
2. The present “switch yard” for the entire Easter Island. Obviously, complete revamping needs to take place.
3. The present plant being used for the Island, which generates 800 KW. It is insufficient and is always breaking down.
4. Housing mounds during the “Orongo, a place of rituals.” The entrances were small enough for one person at a time to enter, about 18“ x 18“. If an enemy attempted to enter, he could easily be attacked by those inside before he even got upright.
5. One of the many caves on the island.
6. Typical plate of Easter Island food.
7. Rodrigo Cornejo, Electrical Engineer, son of the director of Power Tube Merco Sur (which covers Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay), and Power Tube Inc. CTO Doyle W. Brewington.
