Can I borrow your machine once in a while to dig some holes for fun too? I used to dig holes in my backyard just because I liked holes. This machine will make the job much easier.
This looks like a 21st century adaptation of Marc Brunel's (father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel) technique for sinking two 50ft diameter vertical shafts in 1825 during the construction of the Thames Tunnel. A cast iron ring is laid out and the soil was dug out from within the ring by navvies. As the material was removed it could no longer support the ring, which had cutting edge at its base, so the ring slowly sank. As it progressed down bricklayers constructed the shaft on top of the iron ring. The art was not to stop its progress downward to prevent the surrounding soil settling and gripping the shaft and preventing it going down further.. The Thames Tunnel is still in use today, its dimensions being large enough it is used for London Overground train services.
reality is not a movie you stupid fuck! i hate loser liek you who think the government is soem sort of evil institution that seeks to hurt its citizens! you live in a fucking movie inside your head!
I was part on the team that sank in the late 70’s at North Shelby in UK. North Selby Mine was started in November 1979 and completed in July 1986 with a shaft depths of 1032m (No1) and 1045m (No2). Whitemoor Mine was started in February 1980 and completed in June 1985 with a shaft depths of 931.6m (No1) and 941.7 (No2).
I am not in construction, but the information contained in this video really brings to light a genius design. If I was in building tunnels and shafts, this thing would be my first pick, for it's mobility and what looks to me is a extremely smart design. All components serve a function and can be easily replaced, moved or supplemented. There is no wasting time and very few people are needed to making this work. As well as the ability of separating and cleaning the dirt, that's very cool! Genius!
What a clean shot to cascade one layer of RCC, over other and sank it, I feel blessed that I have done civil engineering. There are so many wonderful machines made by humans, yet to be explored by me.
as a technician i really understand you. it is somewhat satisfying to find these machines and seeing them demonstrated. even better when you had no idea they existed
This system of sinking vertical shafts was done by Marc Brunel (Isambard's father) in 1825 for works on the Thames Tunnel, obviously the digging was done by hand in those days. Using a cast iron ring with a cutting edge at the base of the shaft, the shaft walls being of brick. As the shaft sank the bricklayers built new courses on top.
I'm pretty sure this was engineered and innovated, not invented. Maybe a few components were invented to be patented, but most of the machine probably can't be patented.
I won't buy this for my little garden (5x7 meters...) for sure 😀, but this was really a very interesting piece of technology to watch. Thanks an good luck, guys!
Try digging on my property. I'm halfway down a volcano mountain that erupted over 100 years ago. The soil is embedded with lava rocks from hand size to as big as a small car. Digging around here with a hand shovel is absolutely impossible. I have a 35,000lb Case D1150 dozer/backhoe that the backhoe struggles to dig a hole. My son hit one of those big boulders, had to dig around it and then use the 4 yard [1 yard is 3ft cubed] bucket to push/lift it out and move it into the forest. It must have weighed as much as a GMC Duramax crew cab truck.
the parking concept would work in a lot of locations that would otherwise not allow a above ground parking structure too be built ,or too replace existing ground level parking lots for increased parking volumes ,,, added security being below ground for low theft or vandalism
Foundation work uses a smaller version with a Soilmech excavator equipt with a Kelly bar. Steel casing instead of prefab concrete than it can be removed if called for and reused. Concrete piling with steel rebar is Tremme poured to exclude ground water.
Pretty cool technology. When I win the lottery and I want to build my dream doomsday home, I know who to call. A giant silo in the ground with a yurt on top to disguise it! Yeah, baby!
I used to sink shaft years ago. My question is how is this device going to get through ground that is broken up so bad that the boulders are as big as apartment buildings. One little shift of material and the equipment is stuck and no amount of lubricant on the outside of the shaft will be able to allow movement. Love the machine for minimal shaft sinking though. Poured the plug on a 3600 foot shaft years ago and this would never have been able to accomplish that depth. Pure sweat and muscle to get the job done.

I've been digging holes like that in the beach for sandcastle purposes for years now, but I have been doing it with a shovel. I want to upgrade my technique with some technology. What are your recommendations for vertical shaft digging tools that are human-powered?
Consider looking up Abilene Christian University Molten Salt Research Reactor - < 15 months to construct building with no special equipment. I do not believe it will take that long to construct these on small scale deployments. Please consider reviewing the following on youtube: Vertical Tunneling Boring - Vertical Shaft Sinking Machine (VSM) - 1-5 Meters per day - GE Steel Bricks - - Reactor Pressure Vessel is < 2.5 inches - here is an example of tech to manufacture stainless steel for nuclear - Holtec Discovery channel ... (I know this is not an RPV but an excellent example of how it could be done.) - Welding - local vacuum electron beam welding - Small Modular reactor
HerrenknechtAG, thanks for this video! This technology would be great for siting neighborhood modular nuclear reactors. Imagine a carbon-clean gas reactor serving your neighborhood with power and heat for 15 years without refueling.
Skip the thermoneucular and go right to groundwater based geothermal to service several users, using renewable greenpower for the electricness...the cheapest way to generate electricness. Plus, there are no lingering problems (many years of human generated radioactive type poisons). What's there not to like, unless you are a big or little corporate socialist capitalist .It's all here right now, and is very scalable as to size. IMHO.
Clicked this thinking it might've been like the Bagger 288 video. Enjoyed it nonetheless. Pretty interesting. But it's not quite in the same league as a Bagger 288
Another application could be below-grade placement of nuclear power plants, instead of containment buildings that are above-ground. I note the current upper limit of 18 m on diameter, but maybe the new generation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) could be designed to fit within this constraint.
For vertically-launched missiles, there are cold launch systems that use gas from a separate gas generator (this gas can still be a few hundred degrees hot, but is cold compared to the rocket exhaust) to push the missile out of the launch tube, and it only ignites its engine once it is fully clear of the tube.
So whats to prevent this kind of system from boring down through the crust? Seems to me it should be able to continue on until it hits magma since its covered in water.
The VSM is equipped with measuring devices for all of the movements, to have full control of the excavation. During the sinking of the shaft, the shaft lining is suspended by steel cables to the lowering units and these units does as well have integrated measuring devices to have full control while sinking. In addition the VSM is supplied with a vertical measuring system which are monitoring and displaying the verticality of the shaft lining all the time. The combination of the these measuring device ensures a full control of the shaft and the perfect position of the shaft all the time and till the end of the shaft installation. Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay. Regards.
@@PierreSoubourou There are already concepts that will form 3D printed above ground structures. (using the the dust and rock btw, folks.) No reason why it couldnt be used under ground, so long as it is strong enough when used. This might be problomatic however, as the forces of compression and tension of the 3D printed regolith may make 3D printed material unsuitable. But if 3D prining walls is suitable, or even if another way to built habitats underground is used, building under ground would also have the added effect of acting as a shield from solar radiation. Removing the dust would be futile and unneccesary. Afterall, we build things on dust and dirt every day here on earth. Also no one has invented a vaccum cleaner that big yet! :D
@@chemicalmike646 there was this concept by ESA of the moon village, i suppose that's what you're referring to. I would be myself quite dubious of the usage of this technique on other planets/satellites. As for your comment, I suppose one has to establish a mars base on solid ground already, then simply stacking as much dust as possible onto a prebuild facility: the slope is bigger, but you don't need to inject any gluing agent and time or land occupation is not the issue
@@PierreSoubourou That could've been the video, not sure. I agree it seems "questionable" but I'm assuming the lower gravity may allow for weaker structures compared with Earth. And if theres solid ground to be drilled into, caves coulod be formed and used. And yeah, I agree the forst base will be over rather than under the land. Piling dust on it would be easier than a construction especially at the start up phase. :D
cool... if it lives up its promises the reduced environmental impact is worth whatever the price differential with old school methods... does anyone know if it does?

Must be only used in shallow shafts as deep shafts go thru hard rock
How do you maintain a perfectly horizontal sinking rate of the shaft?
