Hey would love to donate. Don't want to use Patreon and have recurring payments. Your tiers come out to be $12, $24, and $60 a year, and I think for the quality here and over the years, that's an easy range to donate each year. Unfortunately I don't see a way to do this. Do you have anything set up? If you do, that will be an easy donation from me. Thanks for everything you do!

There's a cardinal error in the video - the installed capacity of Hoover dam's electric generators is not 2 Watts as stated at the beginning of the video, obviously! A single AA battery would be more powerful. 2080 mW is 2080 milliwatts, that's 2.08 W. Hoover dam's installed capacity is actually BILLION times bigger - it's 2080 MW (megawatts) or 2.08 GW. Check the metric (SI) prefixes, please. Should an engineer do such mistake, he would be fired, probably (or someone could potentially die from such mistake).

Nice video. You explained everything pretty much correct. I worked for Hoover Dam for a dozen years and have been inside those Penstocks and Laterals during ‘water down’ (maintenance cycle). An interesting fact: the insides of the steel penstocks are coated with Coal Tar to prevent corrosion. No place darker than walking in one of the main penstocks. The water velocity in those penstocks doesn’t exceed 15 ft/sec.

Man do I love hydro power, but you would never see me within a kilometer of one because oh my god that is terrifying, being even on it is scary enough, but being inside of one of those pipes? fuck that One of my biggest fears is large water-based areas like this, not like, lakes and rivers and such, but anywhere with large amounts of moving water or just large moving parts, I would probably pass out being inside that There is this one corkscrew water elevator near me where the corkscrews are only like, a meter in diameter and only a couple meters long, and as cool as I think it is, it scares the shit out of me being even near it

One omission is that the power towers are also angled to direct cable weight force directly down the centers of the towers. If it was only to avoid proximity to the rock face, then vertical towers could simply have been much taller to make up the needed difference.

This video did great explaining what I've always wondered about the intake towers and how they're made, I didn't realize they blasted out a hole to sit them in. I do know they use part of the diversion tunnel made when they re-routed the river. Amazing man made structure there in Nevada/Arizona.

Tip for another video. When I visited the Hoover Dam some 20 years ago, I bought a part of the cable transferring the energy to Las Vegas. I use them to this date as a pen holder, cause the cable is hollow and cleverly constructed. It's extremely interesting and there's a lot of physics knowledge and experimentation behind that.

They do not use permanent magnets in the exciter except perhaps a small one to get things started. They use a wired electromagnet. The field of the exciter can be varied to control the output of the main generator/alternator. Vertical alternators and turbines tend to float in the air and do not require a large thrust bearing. The magnetic field holds them up.

I appreciate your comment. Growing up in Vegas and having family here since the 1940s I've heard about the 6 Companies as being the conglomerate that built the dam and being responsible for the many worker deaths. Those are the two things always mentioned about 6 Companies. Your comment made me stop and think. The 6 Companies managed to build that amazing structure in that location with the technology of the time and with the extreme working environment and weather conditions. That is incredible. I can see how the processes that built the dam would be used to go to the moon.

@@hewhohasnoidentity4377 : Yes, I'm sure they would've had a much harder time had there been an OSHA around back then. The lives lost was tragic, and they should have been properly honored and their families compensated. I am pretty sure the planning group formed a predecessor to think tanks as well. There is a legend that they would find a problem and cast about deliberately for someone to come at it with a fresh perspective. In the case of the concrete, they foresaw problems with the chemical heat and so decided to bring in someone to come up with a view to scheduling and calculate some way to pour and save time, otherwise it would take decades to properly insure integrity of the layers. Someone suggested bringing in Baird Spalding, a research engineer who had worked with Steinmetz, who after looking at their problem suggested replacing the rebar with galvanized pipe through which ice water would be pumped. Special refrigerated pumping houses were then built and the cooling was reduced to about five to ten years rather than whatever they calculated. I tried to get details on the origin of this legend but never succeeded. It was an anecdote that Spalding's publisher told at Spading's wake.

Water also naturally flows to this point and could compromise it from underneath.
