Armstrong was a savage. Built an entire dam, ran thousands of pounds of copper, just for a couple of lights so he could have a few drinks with his buddies in his picture gallery.
I love the way you interlaced the increasing difficult examples of dam engineering development with the construction of the Three Gorges dam. Each step standing on the shoulders of the gigantic projects that went before. Pedagogy at its finest. Thank you!
22:42 "It actually took 5000 men 21 months to complete this dam (Hoover dam). It was completed 2 years ahead of schedule and under the budget" Credit where it's due. We could learn a lot from this
The Hoover dam was built during the infancy of modern dam construction. I've seen the Hoover dam. It's impressive for the era but I could slingshot a rock across it's distance. The Three Gorges dam is 1.5 miles long. Let that sink into your perception.
Just watched a documentary, they claim 97 people died during hoover dams construction, but it’s not uncommon, and why they’re now paid well, more people die at work every year than have ever died at war
it's about how you need to make that dam (usually) just once. think how many coal/gas/fuel generator plants you need to replace the output of one big dam, and what is their pollution during their whole life cycle.
thật tuyệt vời ❤❤❤ so Amazing video ❤ Một video rất nhiều Kiến thức Và Bổ ích ❤❤ Em ở Việt Nam rất thích Xem video Của Anh ❤ chúc Anh nhiều Sức Khoẻ Và Làm nhiều Video Hay nhé ❤❤ I really like You video so much ❤ thank You for sharing video so amazing ❤ I Hope you Alway Lucky and Happiness
I was a Hydro Repairman on the Klamath River Project until it was removed this year. Anyone hiring? Great doc, love to hear the history. Hope those Yangtze fish are ok 😂
Here's another question can you release a different stage rotations like playing music on a piano try to understand if you can the concept of mountains different heist and directions and links
43:21 - 43:58 But this will only shift the sediment that had collected near the dam. What about the sediment that has settled along the length of the reservoir?
The fish were not just flapping at the location They were flapping very very far away from location You changed Mother Nature And started global warming with these contraptions These dams 🦫 We’re only supposed to be temporary Our moms and dads and grandparents gave this energy to us gratefully Now we are to upgrade it so our planet can stop dying
If you go back and you look at the manufacturers of all your equipment being built in the background or does it still have pressure pulling through it meaning it ain't been released all the way out of the old servers and connections
So here's another one and your equipment or in technology that's building all your infrastructure of your machinery as it lays now do you know if you are under seawater or above seawater do you know how to build the mathematical formula to understand that rotation in growth or in losses how to stimulate the layers of movement
If your wondering how they came up with the technology to even lift these boats, search Peterborough Ontario lift lock! 😁 Canada believe it or not was the first to make the world's largest hydrologic boat lifts! I grew up with it, it's so tiny compared to these but when it was originally built it was the world's largest and first.. fun fact you can fit like 360 kayaks and canoes on it.. ptbo is small so we find new ways to play with it🤷🏼♀️
It was NOT a single light bulb but enough to light several rooms. There was a master switchboard so that all the house could be lit. The swtchboard has totaly open contacts. The whole system would be operational except for the dreaded 'elf and safety'. Rubber gloves please.

27:03 the water coming down is the pressure at the bottom when it flows over and the curve is like a sideways bridge this is why there not straight The secret is the over flow🤭🤫
The narrator would make an excellent advertising executive. With that said - it would take the Chinese 20-30 years to understand what a colossal mistake they made.
So if it rains a lot does all the extra water slow down or speed up the rotation of the Earth? Wow it's been raining for 40 days and nights.. You mean 39 days and night. Now that's a lot of rain!
Another way to understand it do you understand degree value underwater and chill or in heat do you understand the difference how stuff floats in between layers
How did you map the design of your sound inside side of energy and inside of magnetism do you know in servers or technology some people try to understand what they call true North like everything can have a different perspective of north south east and west did you include that in your stuff
Armstrong was a savage. Built an entire dam, ran thousands of pounds of copper, just for a couple of lights so he could have a few drinks with his buddies in his picture gallery.
All that trouble for one light? He ought to power the whole mansion, invent more efficient power systems. The house has central heating.
@broadstreet21 when you're that rich, I doubt you care about efficiency.
@@notanetbanger Not just money, but the time and effort to go into this.
He was Think imedyadley Hydroelectric. That important when u produced Semthing strong u must Turbin. Famouse Turbin.Smal or Biig.
Don't believe everything you hear.
I love the way you interlaced the increasing difficult examples of dam engineering development with the construction of the Three Gorges dam. Each step standing on the shoulders of the gigantic projects that went before. Pedagogy at its finest. Thank you!
Thank you for this documentary. Highly enlightening
I love shows like this
this should be watched in every school
more science and less commentary
Well this is a *DAM* fine accomplishment
I’m *DAM* Proud to be part of a civilization that builds these structures
It’s a *DAM* good feeling
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a Dr., not an engineer!"- Bones, Star Trek
It's been said that one day humans will build a goddam
That's pretty dam funny when you think about it!
this DAM pun is getting too DAM much, its making me DAM full of seeing it DAM it
Loved watching this, Amazing the engineering involved in making these, truly impressed, plus the narration and animations were spot on 😊
22:42
"It actually took 5000 men 21 months to complete this dam (Hoover dam). It was completed 2 years ahead of schedule and under the budget"
Credit where it's due. We could learn a lot from this
But didn't like a lot of those people die?
incredible. when there's a will, there's a way

And killed the river
Absolutely amazing engineering of megas dams , but what happens if a bigger earth quake.
people die
What do u think
A dam that's over 2 kilometers long? wow
It seems China is afraid of no technological obstical.
That's a damb long dam
@@mr.boomguy Damn straight.
Have you tried to measure to see if you got tree elevation or inside rotations
Thanks for that wonderful teaching
Love how hydro electric is called "clean energy" when the process of making the dams is anything but clean.......
Dams are bad news, period.
it's about how you need to make that dam (usually) just once. think how many coal/gas/fuel generator plants you need to replace the output of one big dam, and what is their pollution during their whole life cycle.
Human breath is pollution, too. So you want "clean", dismiss yourself first.
If you have a better more efficient way and currently practical way for electricity production then the world will beat a path to your door.
Depends on perspective really and what you define as clean
what a fun n engaging way to learn engineering n architechture. thanks uploader.
Amazing documentary!!!

Dammit, Jim, nicely done!
Wow! Very good and Beautiful excellent 😊💞
Insane Engineering/Production...
😧💪💥🦾👏
Matatan.🤔. Ribirin HS,
Great, documentary well done
Its an amazing engineering
Dr. Andrews is a great chemist, love him!❤
I LOVE YOU!
I was a Hydro Repairman on the Klamath River Project until it was removed this year. Anyone hiring? Great doc, love to hear the history. Hope those Yangtze fish are ok 😂
Slowed down the earths rotation by few sec is merely mans pride .
Amazing structure what humans can build is mind boggling
❤ super butiful good morning family ❤️🌹🛡️
Very exciting sound effects
This video is pretty dam awesome
44:05 OK. Then what will they do to resolve the problem?
What happened to the earth rotation because of all the oil we drill? Could it cause imbalance eventually?
18:48 What about all the concrete that will sink to the bottom of the reservoir?
Does that just stay there?
Uncured concrete can change water chemistry. Once it’s cured it can be underwater and there’s no issues.
Man built a dam to please his friends
41:50 I think that chemists concoction was a little heavy on the ratio with fish 😂
I guess you felt angry 😂😂😂😂 I can feel your hunger too that fish is enough to feed on
That's one crazy ship elevator!
Now thats a Damn good Dam
What's the name of this narrator with a great voice?
John Michie
You god Dam right! 😂
That's the biggest Dam I See, thanks for uploading this documentary!
That’s a Dam good job 👍
Here's another question can you release a different stage rotations like playing music on a piano try to understand if you can the concept of mountains different heist and directions and links
Tony what are you on about
Great movie
这个视频好像是30年前拍摄的。
中国的镜头都是至少20年前的，采访英国专家应该是十几年前的。视频里没有出现更新的中国素材，除了3D动画（质量绝对是近几年的水平）。
where is ITAIPU DAM ?
We produce 76.382 GWh in 2020.
We are the BIGGEST in Energy Production.
it's in Brazil.
@@j121212100 for sure.
well, 3 gorges is supposed to average 95TWh, compared to 76 for ITAIPU. So ....
In the documentary it says it's twice the size of the itaipu
Well duh this is old documentary
43:21 - 43:58 But this will only shift the sediment that had collected near the dam.
What about the sediment that has settled along the length of the reservoir?
Great facrs; ridiculously overwrought, melodramatic music! Way too 'dark'; wanted the sound off!
40:44 W protein shake big ups
That's some god dam engineering!
If that guy were to do all that for one bulb today, it would cost him almost 50k for the copper alone.
A junkies wet dream! Lol
26:03 rip camera man
This has such a 00s vibe , had to made then
d c
can do favorable ?
blessong ?
The fish were not just flapping at the location
They were flapping very very far away from location
You changed Mother Nature
And started global warming with these contraptions
These dams 🦫
We’re only supposed to be temporary
Our moms and dads and grandparents gave this energy to us gratefully
Now we are to upgrade it so our planet can stop dying
If you go back and you look at the manufacturers of all your equipment being built in the background or does it still have pressure pulling through it meaning it ain't been released all the way out of the old servers and connections
Where are Itaipu dam - in Brasil?
Wow its incredible realy I like this video
Music title at 2:04 and 4:44 please. Thanks
The dam is almost as long as the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Chinese have a bridge longer than that bridge as well.
@@indridcold8433so does the US. It's in New Orleans, LA and it crosses Lake Pontritain.
Very useful thanks alot❤🎉😊
That's a lot of resources there. I wonder how many countries have giant holes in them, for all of those resources.
They had their own resources sir. China produces 60% of the world's cement.
They are not like many nations that have no domestic production. They have their own resources. Most of what is in your home is likely made in China.
With zero thought to ecosystems, even their own...
@@carlsaganlives6086 yet u wrote ur stupid comment with a device which has resources from china and probably was made there aswell
I went on a private yacht through the Panama canal. Just out there when i didnt realize how awesome my life was and has become
18:28
39:23 Even a great engineering like this, without a good management, it will still cause terrible flooding, hilariously.
What I'm really interested to know is how was Jean Claud Van Dam was built...
So here's another one and your equipment or in technology that's building all your infrastructure of your machinery as it lays now do you know if you are under seawater or above seawater do you know how to build the mathematical formula to understand that rotation in growth or in losses how to stimulate the layers of movement
Similar project should be done by African leaders on river Congo who a very talking about Africa unity. Let them unit on such.
Politicians needs to quit stealing the funds
What? No mention of Bonneville dam? Sheesh
🤩Great Engineering
"Yeah, I have a question... Is this a 'God Dam'?"
Didn't mention the Niagara project of the early 20th century.
😮😮😮 a bige dame
Alllll that effort made to cool the concrete and now the thing is cracking like a chocolate egg
That make China economic grow so fast. Everywhere have big construction, China company is there.
thats what the fish said when it swam into a wall dam

#Highlights
💡 The Three Gorges Dam in China is the largest concrete structure on Earth, spanning over two kilometers and standing 60 stories tall.
💡 It took 17 years and 40,000 workers to complete, and it will produce over 20,000 megawatts of power, equivalent to twice the nuclear power stations in Britain combined.
💡 The dam engineering pinnacle owes its success to five landmark dams, each featuring significant technological innovations.
💡 The dam's construction required diverting the massive Yangtze River and relocating over a million people.
💡 To understand its power generation, the text traces back to 19th-century Britain when the world's first hydroelectric dam was developed.
💡 The Three Gorges Dam has 32 generators, producing 5 million times more power than the 1878 Debden Dam.
💡 The Hoover Dam in the USA employed innovative techniques, including cooling with river water, to expedite construction.
The issue is safety of factor of the to withstand environmental disaster for instance an earth quick. What is the safety factor of 3 Gorges Dam?
How còuld you not mention ITAIPU
Exited ❤️
Nice
Wow 🤩
Someone will tell me they didn't see that scientist just blending poop with fish together. Eew!💔😂
that's a powerhouse
27:03 the water coming down is the pressure at the bottom when it flows over and the curve is like a sideways bridge this is why there not straight
The secret is the over flow🤭🤫
The narrator would make an excellent advertising executive. With that said - it would take the Chinese 20-30 years to understand what a colossal mistake they made.
Sedimentti tekee nämä suuret rakennat huödyttomiksi ajan myötä
38:52 it’s already flying apart and crumbling
So if it rains a lot does all the extra water slow down or speed up the rotation of the Earth?
Wow it's been raining for 40 days and nights..
You mean 39 days and night.
Now that's a lot of rain!
Balance of the planet is a worry with the poles melring.
Where is the river to build an even bigger dam?
When was this made? 1996?
Has to be.
The dam opened in 2012, so after that
But before 2015, based upon a comment in the video.
How this channel have just 70k subs?
Dr. Shitlow made an incredible cocktail. How much you think you pay someone to drink that ? 🤔
Desperate people drink garbage like that daily. Granted, they do not last long.
So they don't use any steel reinforcement
Another way to understand it do you understand degree value underwater and chill or in heat do you understand the difference how stuff floats in between layers
How did you map the design of your sound inside side of energy and inside of magnetism do you know in servers or technology some people try to understand what they call true North like everything can have a different perspective of north south east and west did you include that in your stuff
Amazing!
God, you sure love that 3d graphics software at Element 18 eh?
