We are still discovering the different
sections of the Endeavour, and this morning we found out where the
engineers spend most of their day. They offered to take us on a tour
to find out what keeps the Endeavour steaming onwards. We were shown
the rooms which house the engines, the generators and the motors. The
engines drive three generators which generate the electricity to
power the two motors which drive the propeller. The generators also
provide other electricity which is needed on the ship.
