Diitabiki (Sranan Tongo: ''Dritabiki'', Dutch language, Dutch: ''Drietabbetje'') is a Ndyuka people, Ndyuka village in the Sipaliwini District of Suriname. Diitabiki is the residence of the gaanman of the Ndyuka people, since 1950, and the location of the oracle. Name Both the Ndyuka language, Ndyuka and Sranan Tongo name for the village translates to "three islands," with the word ''tabiki'' meaning "island" in both languages.

The plant was opened on 7 December 1981 by President Henk Chin A Sen, and electricity was provided from that day to the villages of Puketi and Futupasi. Electricity meters were installed in the houses connected to the network, and an officer of the Dienst Elektriciteitsvoorziening (DEV) of the Ministry of Natural Resources traveled from Paramaribo to Puketi every few months to collect the bills. After initial plans to use the energy for a cassava mill and a sawmill were abandoned, neighboring villages ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Overhead Power Line
An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy across large distances. It consists of one or more uninsulated electrical cables (commonly multiples of three for three-phase power) suspended by towers or poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by the surrounding air, overhead power lines are generally the least costly method of power transmission for large quantities of electric energy. Construction Towers for support of the lines are made of wood either grown or laminated, steel or aluminum (either lattice structures or tubular poles), concrete, and occasionally reinforced plastics. The bare wire conductors on the line are generally made of aluminum (either plain or reinforced with steel or composite materials such as carbon and glass fiber), though some copper wires are used in medium-voltage distribution and low-voltage connections to customer premises. A major goal of overhead power line d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
