Or are you just mad that you couldnt see the…oh wait he did get the moment the water poured over idk what else there was to miss😂ill never understand people like you🤦♂️always finding something in everything to bitch abt
@Kashmir_explorer786 if that was the case, you should have that on the title instead of the, somewhat misleading title, and would have gotten less hate. People here are expecting an instant video of the dam release, not the process. If people wanted to watch the process, they would have gone and looked it up.
The process of opening these gates is not carried out regularly. It opens once in years. If I get a chance again I'll keep my fingers away from camera.
@@Kashmir_explorer786 I actually thought you was doing the finger on purpose because it was coming I to the frame more and more as the gate was opening. I do enjoying watching these types of videos anyway so keep up thrgood work just be aware of where your fingers are 😂
For people complaining that it's slow; it needs to be. If it moved quickly then it could create a cavity that all that water would rush to fill into. That is an incredible amount of water and is incredibly heavy. If that amount of water slammed into the gate at once, it could be damaged or destroyed and cause a disaster.
Thanks for sharing! I've worked at hydro plants before, and almost nothing happens quickly at hydroelectric plants. (except for the excited electrons being generated of course!) The gate to the penstock that we were working on at the time, would take upwards of 12+ hours to fully open or close. Most people will never get the opportunity to see these processes in action outside of videos like this. Just for context, are you able to share the site where this footage was taken? I understand if you cant. Thanks again for showing us this.
@@isaT Excellent question! I can't speak to the video here, but I can speak about the hydroelectric pant that I have worked at previously. In our case the gate weighs 120 tonnes. The gate uses threaded shafts and gearing, and is coupled to an electric motor which is rated for a specific RPM (revolutions per minute) in which it operates. Since the electric motor rotates at a fixed speed, and the gearing is such that it has to lift (or lower) the 120 tonne gate, the system pretty much sets the speed limit on it's own. Also, moving 120 tonnes quickly could introduce some significant safety issues or break things. It's not just moving the massive weight, but stopping it too! Think about stopping a 120 tonne object quickly, and what the effects of doing that would be, if it were moving at a high velocity. Toss in the weight of the water putting pressure on the gate and I'm not sure about the maths on that but it is pretty significant - I hope this helps!
A substantial water gate, measuring 9m by 7m, is currently engaged in releasing water from a reservoir. The deliberate, gradual opening of the gate is necessitated by the significant load it bears. This measured approach ensures the controlled discharge of water, preventing potential disruptions or adverse effects associated with the heavy release.
I highly suggest watching at 2x speed, even then its painfully slow and not that interesting. But you get to see large equipment operating, slowlllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Too many comments by super expert videographers about how they could have done it better and why did the flap open so slowly. Maybe some knowledge of hydraulics and water flow control might have helped them.
These gates are used to remove floating debris i.e wooden logs, plastic bottles etc from reservoir. Also release extra water downstream and maintain reservoir leve.
I’m convinced the camera caught the dam opening by accident. He was actually openly defecating and caught the gate opening. As evidenced by the shoddy camera work and finger covering the shot.
THE WATER ACTUALLY ONLY SPILLS AT 6:04 IN THE VIDEO. DON'T WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME IN YOUR LIFE. SKIP THERE AND WATCH, IF YOU'RE STILL AROUND! THANK YOU! 😒
6:27 minutes of boring slow movement to start with. Luckily one can skip minutes to see the final water punching down. Not much debris however, but a lot of finger in the lower left corner.
Debris was reached a bit later than the video was stopped. Due to sun 🌞 light I cannot focus on mobile screen to see my finger is Infront of camera. However Thanks for watching the video
This gate is opened only when we have more water than our required power generation capacity. Usually floating debris came in high flow season and required to be thrown Downstream because it stucks into the trashracks of intake gates and blocks flow towards the powerhouse

Yes when it reaches the water level of the reservoir it looks like flat earth. Basically it opens downward so the floating debris in the reservoir goes downstream.

Mobile safety first
Yup. I wasn't able to see the mobile screen due to extreme Sun light
The Gates "wall" seals are Fecking impressive... there appears to be minimal, neigh on no leakage until the gate drops below the reservoir level...
Steel liners are installed along the walls where the seal of gate moves that's why there is no leakage
Good thing I skipped way ahead. Makes watching paint dry seem exciting.

Hello, may I ask why is it so slow opening please? & Thanks!
So , instead of collecting the debris , they just send it downstream? Not our problem anymore.
