A plant for making continuous yarns made of silicon material comprises at least an extrusion station, into which the material is introduced in an amorphous condition, and extrusion means which cause the material to exit from the extrusion station along an extrusion axis. The compressor includes a housing, an electric motor, and a compression mechanism accommodated in the housing. Each of the wing portions is provided obliquely in a direction in which the recording medium is inserted in the recording medium reproducing unit. The coupling may be a low-profile coupling. The system includes one or more of each of a central step down n-pulse transformer, a non-regulated n-pulse rectifier, a regulated n-pulse chopper type DC-DC converter, respective electrolyzer module controllers, a dispatch controller, an alternative load, and an alternative power source.
