Great video, but a little note for your script writers, if I may: A common mistake is saying something like: "it could power the UK for a year", because it could also power it for five years. Or five minutes. It's not about time, it's about power output. So the correct way to say it would be "it could power a country the size of the UK". Thanks.
@@yaya-nw4ic No, output (for example in gigawatts, GW) measures the rate of power generation at any given moment. GWh (gigawatt-hours) measures the amount of energy produced or consumed over time. A 1 GW power plant running continuously for 1 hour generates 1 GWh of energy.
The UK uses 270~ TWh power per year, Three Gorges Dam produces nearly 100 TWh power per year, so it's clear that this dam will at least be enough for the UK

Movie 2012 anyone? Where China build a dam in the Himalaya's to secretly construct arks for the survival of humanity after the massive Yellowstone eruption and following poleshift 😂😂
Yes, why didn't Trump put some concrete all over Yellowstone? Or do the ground source geo thermal heat pump extraction thing for electricity production? Another fine mess he got you Americans into. When the Yellowstone volcano does erupt eventually the crater will cover almost all of America and then flood with seawater. There will be no more America and the ejecta will end up in the oceans causing sea levels to rise. However the dust thrown up will block the sunlight and the planet will enter a new ice age.

This dam idea is actually really really smart, by using a tunnel and huge elevation difference, there's no need to build a huge concrete dam holding back a large water body. A portion of the water can simply be diverted into the pipe tunnels to the turbines or letting the water run its old course during maintenance/down time.
It's not really smart though. The Himalayas is being created by the Indian tectonic plate crashing into the Asian tectonic plate. That's why the mountains are so big and so young. The whole area is highly geologically unstable.
@@DrewWithington Not sure what young means... But every year billions of liters of water passes through the gorges flowing out to the sea and the potential energy not harnessed. The Chinese are willing to have a go at it and make cleaner energy without a large water pool. How is this a bad idea?
@@marilynlicht5376 So what? Worst case is the tunnel and turbine room gets destroyed and investments lost, river flows back in its original course. Why is this a concern to you? Are you part of the surveying team that's taken core samples of the geological formation in the area? Because it's hard and nothing should be done is your attitude, clearly not for the Chinese engineers.
@@brandon-hh7jf Do not believe the hype, especially CCP hype. This video is tainted with CCP hype. Wherever the Chinese are, is followed by the CCP officials. They are not great engineers, rather they create flawed construction with substandard materials "Dreg Tofu".
I know it is sort of out of bounce from your usual research, but I think a video on the 10 most technologically advanced countries would be a major hit 😮.
Use some common sense: hydropower plants don't consume water. The same amount of water continues to flow into India. So, why imply that China is taking advantage of India? This is different from the Colorado River, which has been diverted so extensively that it runs dry before reaching Mexico.
Hydropower plants allow you to stop and flood the river whenever you want. China will indeed stop the river to force its neighbors to accept whatever he wants.
Upstream dams control the rate of flow of water. There have been many instances when upstream dams dump a lot of water during heavy rain which further worsens the flood downstream. Conversely, during drought they hold on to water more than the regular flow worsening the drought at downstream regions.
Use some physics, Doc: Forcing water through tunnels and spinning turbines removes a shitload of energy from the inertial mass. (Duh, that's where the electricity comes from.) Sucking out energy attenuates the velocity at which water will continue downstream, directly affecting downstream users. Pretty obvious you don't know much about fluid dynamics or energy production. My opinion: Your "common sense" sounds more like chinese propaganda, since you insist on mentioning a river on the other side of the planet in the US, rather than simply stating your "common sense" point, and ending it then and there. Fifty Cent Army? Pay fifty cents and see what quality army you end up with. chinese quality. Even they call it tofu dreg.
A tunnel setup would be exceptionally good for their downstream neighbors.Because its not holding any water back,normal flow is preserved. Electricity output would be somewhat variable over the year but i still think its the right move.Other powerplants can level those highs and lows. The only real question is whether the tunnel is cost effective
It's actually a good idea, if the intention is to have it collapse probably in under 10 years. And that's assuming the builders don't cheap out, except in China they always do. So if built, I would give it a lifespan of 2-6 years before catastrophic failure. The entire project is absurd.
@@Infernal_Elf The project is large enough that building multiple tunnels could make sense. That would allow each tunnel to be regularly shut down for maintenance.
A certain skill China does not have is drainage. Another one is good construction quality. The quality of construction is so bad in China that it has its own name. Unfortunately, that very name causes my comment to autodelete.
Dams has sediment flushing provisions with the outlets lower than the turbine outlets. Run of the river dam do not stop the flow of water. After a brief period of filling the dam normal river water resume. However some water may be diverted for irrigation
4:30 "insane altitude" -- "insane" ELEVATION. 'Altitude' is from the surface you're measuring from (terra firma). 'Elevation' is from sea level. It would only make sense if you're referring to the plateau height from sea level. FYI.
Underground hydroelectric power stations are a great idea. If done well, the sediment goes down the main river rather than into the diverted water inflow which is skimmed off the top. Here in New Zealand we have at least three of these types of hydroelectric power stations, Lake Manapouri being the most well known, which powers our aluminium smelter. By tunnelling a hole into the mountain and then damming the river at the top of the mountain the water "climbs" 30 metres in Lake Manapouri and then drops 178 metres (584 feet) down the tunnel (penstock) into the power station at the bottom of the mountain.
The issue is that the tunnel is almost totally inaccessible for maintenance Just imagine if that 3000 ft water column found a crack in the tunnel wall. It'd erode a new, uncontrolled, tunnel within hours And once it fails, the damage would have a runaway effect. It'd carve a new channel through the mountain, and the bend would eventually go dry
@@user-wv3ew8qq7myou just build 2 or more tunnels so you can empty one ( close a water valve at the top, open an air valve) and do maintenance on it while the other tunnels are in use.
Especially when it is In the middle of a hot spot for earthquakes and those mountains are slowly rising each year. The whole concept is absurd and destined to fail
@@WahrheitMachtFrei.Uhhhh, to illustrate to we westerners how much power it produces. That's how everyone does it. You have to give comparisons so people can understand the scale.
Catastrophe struck Sikkim on October 4 last year when Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) devastated the region. The disaster wiped out 80% of Sikkim’s electricity generation capacity, including a significant 1200 MW hydropower plant ( Tiny Dam as mentioned 16:49 ). Currently, no hydropower projects along the Teesta River in Sikkim are operational, allowing the river to flow freely. Along with the water, a significant amount of materials has also been carried downstream. We hope this leads to a bountiful harvest for Bangladeshi farmers, who may benefit from the increased water flow and nutrient-rich sediment.
Yup! Consult all environmentalist so that your project will be done in one thousand years instead of 10. Hihi. Add the human rights too! Western thinking! Always insisting u're ways!
Hi man 😊.. I realy like how you are creating a video...facts with visualitation...cut scene..your voice with nice effort "not tooo much"... Keep that and looking forward & forward & forward... For next one ❤✌️
Yes, lets build a damn on top of a seismically active area. Not like the Himalayas are done growing... this is like buying your toddler super expensive shoes. 😂
I mean y'all said the same thing when they were building The 3 Gorges Dam or when they were manufacturing semiconductors or the Electric cars or the 5G etc...And guess what...China pissed on all of the WEST and went on to be the best🤷
18:20 "kilowatts of electricity per hour per year" that's complete nonsense. Do some basic script reviews at least, if you expect us to trust anything more substantive in the video.
The British had a plan to divert the Yarlung Zangpo into the Kali Gandhaki. Where the Kali Gandhaki cuts through the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna mountains is the deepest gorge on Earth.
The same people have no say here. They only give unwanted advice to other countries that do not need their unsolicited ill advice. Classic example they were kicked out of EU for trying to brag too much.
Nah. 60% of Brahmaputra is fed by tributaries within India. Plus as they said it will be a run-of-the-river dam not a reservoir, hence no water will be stored. Plus even if China builds a huge reservoir dam or divert water. It will be a boon to India, since the Brahmaputra river flooded every year causing billions in damage. And India has no capacity to respond to it. The current flood as of today has resulted in 50+ loss of life in Assam. Imagine if China stops or diverts 40% of that water, people in Assam will be grateful.
Yes. But the climate change will soon melt all the global ice and everything will be underwater apart from mountains which might not be able to produce food for the survivors. Everyone will have to develop an appetite for sea food. I don't suppose building a dam will be at the top of the list.
If you're worried about radiation it shouldn't really be a concern. Maybe detectably higher radiation downstream immediately after the blast, but it should return to roughly background levels within a few days at most, and I'd bet it would be more like a few hours or maybe less.
1:32 "to use a nuclear weapon & blow up that damn..." what a typical American response lol... thinking nuking bomb is always the solution to any problem in life. 🤡
I saw a small dam in Idaho burst, back in about 1980, whole roadbeds were transferred, intact, a long way. There was one old 3 story farmstead with it's snow stair moved about 1/2 of a mile, we played 'Match the House' where you try to figure whar pile of rubble matched which cellar. A fun car game. Dams fail. Think New York in about 1902ish. Death and destruction from a smaller dam project.
So you show a recent Chinese impromptu claim on India's Arunachal Pradesh as contentious, which has been part of India without a counter from China for decades. Then you show only India’s Kashmir as contentious, whereas the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (as claimed by India for decades) is conveniently shown as an integrated part of Pakistan. Wonder where this is coming from!!? Hypocrisy has its limits!
i know that youre a nationalist idiot but arunachal pradesh was a part of tibet before the uk colonised it, making it a part of tibet which is a part of china so its chinese.

@@bsherder Well, having been involved in building for 6 decades I’d note that even simple projects have a tendency to NOT “Come in” by their projected date.

also not smart: Destroying the planet by destroying nature when flooding forests bigger than whole nations. And how many millions of tons of CO2 and methane will be generated by this project?
A lot of things are built along major fault lines. Most cities in fact, because that's where the water is. The entire nation of Japan is an active seismic area. I'm guessing if a project like this can last 100 years it would be a massive success with the amount of electricity it will generate in that time.
More than 75% of water to Brahmaputra comes from India and Myanmar, not from Tsangpo section of Tibet. So India is already gearing up to minimize any adverse impacts. It's Bangladesh which would be severely affected. And hello Pakistani, read some more so that you don't look 🤡.
Remove all the cement blocking rivers asap. The subcontinent just recorded a temperature of 53C degree this June. This is beyond what humans can withstand (ditto, animals, fish, birds, microbes.)
smartest green party voter, if you dont have electricty from hydropower, which is one of the least greenhouse gas emitting sources of energy, then where you gonna get it? plus the temperature got so high because of greenhouse gases emitted from coal, natural gas, etc. you are literally doing the oil barons a favor by posting all of this online
The run of the river system seems the most logical and environmentally friendly way to harness the massive hydroelectric power potential of the Yarlung Tsangpo river and preserving its natural surrondings as much as possible at the same time. Over the 5,000 years of Chinese history, mega engineering projects like building the Great Wall of China and the Grand Canal and most recently the Three Gorges Dam, are testament to China's engineering prowess. Based on past records, I am sure the Chinese will be able to pull this off when they are ready to proceed. Cheers to China!
Not only indian soldiers, Chinese Soldiers also lost their lives and even more in numbers then india. its separate thing that china couldn't give homage and gratitude to their martyr soldiers.
A Kilowatt hour is the amount of energy delivered by a kilowatt in one hour. Kilowatt is flow rate of energy, Kilowatt hour is the amount of energy. 300 billion kilowatt-hour per year means that the dam would produce enough energy in a year to power something at 1Kilowatt for 300 billion hours.
@@johnye4433 But Indian's don't need Visa to go there.... Because its Indian territory... But Chinese need visa 😂😂😂 Hope you will get the point😂😂😂 Idiot CCP gay bot 💩😂
The one drawing shown depicted a shaft bored through the mountain with a large elevation drop down to power stations . If that was done without a large dam it might avoid many problems/ risks with large dams. Drawback being no large reservoir to balance seasonal flows.
Damn I love learning about super projects like this. I mean all the disadvantages aside I love when humanity explores its technological limits for a good purpose and utilizing energy that nature is giving us kind of free is definetely one of those.
@@AkashKumar-qo3xj I think you are slightly mistaken. Neither we claim nor we want to invade anyone to be one country.

But divisive forces have separated us and started to exploit with divide and rule policy, rendering us vulnerable to growth and development, not withstanding the dirty politics in these countries, post separation.
How is it possible.?Is it because so much earth and water will be collected in one part of the globe? I know subduction zone earthquakes affect earth's rotation slightly.
@@Lot-4656 Yes, the dam is concentrating more mass towards the equator, so more mass further away from the Earth's axis of spin. Conservation of inertia. Like a figure skater put their arms out (slower) vs arms in (faster).
This will be very interesting especially in light of the Three Gorges Dam. Sediment, trash, and shore decay will be the threat to this dam. The constant buildup of sludge, slowly filling the dam cavity, will have to be managed in a very aggressive way or the reservoir volume will shrink quickly. No easy task.
not to mention the mountain range is growing very fast compared to just about any other mountain range on earth i believe, a 40-50 mile long tunnel isn't feasible because there's no way that that growth is perfectly even across that entire 40 mile stretch, and even if it was there would still be massive structural problems due to the growth of the mountain range. i also wouldnt be surprised if they are underestimating the destructive power of water and not to mention the fact that powerful earthquakes happen in that mountain range roughly every decade

Use some common sense: hydropower plants don't consume water. The same amount of water continues to flow into India. So, why imply that China is taking advantage of India? This is different from the Colorado River, which has been diverted so extensively that it runs dry before reaching Mexico.
Hydropower plants allow you to stop and flood the river whenever you want. China will indeed stop the river to force its neighbors to accept whatever he wants.
Ya China membangun mangkok besar untuk hanya air mengalir kenapa ? Ribut? Apa tetangga takut kalah makmur warga pindah ke China ?
If u missed they talked its not just water but sediments too that gets blocked
Upstream dams control the rate of flow of water. There have been many instances when upstream dams dump a lot of water during heavy rain which further worsens the flood downstream. Conversely, during drought they hold on to water more than the regular flow worsening the drought at downstream regions.
Use some physics, Doc:
Forcing water through tunnels and spinning turbines removes a shitload of energy from the inertial mass.
(Duh, that's where the electricity comes from.)
Sucking out energy attenuates the velocity at which water will continue downstream, directly affecting downstream users. Pretty obvious you don't know much about fluid dynamics or energy production.
My opinion:
Your "common sense" sounds more like chinese propaganda, since you insist on mentioning a river on the other side of the planet in the US, rather than simply stating your "common sense" point, and ending it then and there.
Fifty Cent Army?
Pay fifty cents and see what quality army you end up with. chinese quality. Even they call it tofu dreg.
A tunnel setup would be exceptionally good for their downstream neighbors.Because its not holding any water back,normal flow is preserved.
Electricity output would be somewhat variable over the year but i still think its the right move.Other powerplants can level those highs and lows.
The only real question is whether the tunnel is cost effective
TOFU - DREGS DOOMED TO FAIL
It's actually a good idea, if the intention is to have it collapse probably in under 10 years. And that's assuming the builders don't cheap out, except in China they always do. So if built, I would give it a lifespan of 2-6 years before catastrophic failure. The entire project is absurd.
this project is stupid, theres no way it lasts because the mountain range is rising too much for it to be stable for more than a couple years
Sounds like dam wars.
Womp womp😂😂
The US is learning the hard way, right now, that tunnels for water create cavitation that damages the tunnel.
cavitation can be avoided with the right design. it only happens under specific conditions. Friction wear happens anyway tho but takes very long time.
@@Infernal_Elf The project is large enough that building multiple tunnels could make sense. That would allow each tunnel to be regularly shut down for maintenance.
A certain skill China does not have is drainage. Another one is good construction quality. The quality of construction is so bad in China that it has its own name. Unfortunately, that very name causes my comment to autodelete.

Underground hydroelectric power stations are a great idea. If done well, the sediment goes down the main river rather than into the diverted water inflow which is skimmed off the top. Here in New Zealand we have at least three of these types of hydroelectric power stations, Lake Manapouri being the most well known, which powers our aluminium smelter. By tunnelling a hole into the mountain and then damming the river at the top of the mountain the water "climbs" 30 metres in Lake Manapouri and then drops 178 metres (584 feet) down the tunnel (penstock) into the power station at the bottom of the mountain.
The issue is that the tunnel is almost totally inaccessible for maintenance
Just imagine if that 3000 ft water column found a crack in the tunnel wall. It'd erode a new, uncontrolled, tunnel within hours
And once it fails, the damage would have a runaway effect. It'd carve a new channel through the mountain, and the bend would eventually go dry
@@user-wv3ew8qq7myou just build 2 or more tunnels so you can empty one ( close a water valve at the top, open an air valve) and do maintenance on it while the other tunnels are in use.

Catastrophe struck Sikkim on October 4 last year when Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) devastated the region. The disaster wiped out 80% of Sikkim’s electricity generation capacity, including a significant 1200 MW hydropower plant ( Tiny Dam as mentioned 16:49 ). Currently, no hydropower projects along the Teesta River in Sikkim are operational, allowing the river to flow freely. Along with the water, a significant amount of materials has also been carried downstream. We hope this leads to a bountiful harvest for Bangladeshi farmers, who may benefit from the increased water flow and nutrient-rich sediment.

If its going te be realized, then India and Bangladesh have to start building there water reservoirs. Hopefully they will cooperate together.
they should have built water reservoirs decades ago
Nah. 60% of Brahmaputra is fed by tributaries within India. Plus as they said it will be a run-of-the-river dam not a reservoir, hence no water will be stored.
Plus even if China builds a huge reservoir dam or divert water. It will be a boon to India, since the Brahmaputra river flooded every year causing billions in damage. And India has no capacity to respond to it. The current flood as of today has resulted in 50+ loss of life in Assam. Imagine if China stops or diverts 40% of that water, people in Assam will be grateful.
Yes.
But the climate change will soon melt all the global ice and everything will be underwater apart from mountains which might not be able to produce food for the survivors.
