No audio?

[@okechukwuudoye9056]

I really enjoy your videos, pls can you make a video on digital potentiometer.

[@nerds-nonsense]

Doing these reuploads is actually worse for your analytics and trying to build a following. It annoys current followers, looks like a cash grab (instead of earnest science communication), and resets your stats for each video, making it less likely to be recommended by the algorithm. Your best bet is experimenting with titles and thumbnails the first 24 hours or so after posting.

[@user-ri1qz2mf9d]

Good animation

[@severnia]

the video is solid, but the random loud music outbursts are terrible, distracting and a pretty big turn off.

[@scubasteve3032]

A bit of trivia: 96 men died in the construction of this damn. The last man to die was the son of the first man to die. Great video, thanks!

[@kuttabc]

Good pun in the first sentence

[@S-I-D-D-H-U]

I had never imagined Superman with Mjolnir, and here we are

[@i_Kruti]

Yeah everything was right but SUPER MAN with HAMMER 😅😂🤣

[@kevinelrod323]

Superman couldn't use Mjolnir. He went on his drunkard & evil spree when he thought Lois was killed. 🤷🏻‍♂️😆

[@stuartatkins5425]

And 88 years later the dam is still working to perfection and hopefully will continue to serve America for years to come. Great video.

[@duroisgawd]

except it's not. there hasn't been a lot of water or power production for quite some time.

[@jackchapo2011]

That is true. Power output has decreased significantly, and the cost to maintain is being questioned.

[@youngtrout4950]

Wow. This video is art. Thank you, Lesics.

[@kuttabc]

Idk about art but it Def is something

[@ferdaushossain5586]

Special thanks for creating such useful video for us, watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@raiyanahmednabil2206]

🤚

[@engrfawadiqbalkhan786]

Very helpful , presents a lot of knowledge in very effective way. Being a structural engineer I always enjoy such videos.

[@JJ-eb4tx]

Please normalize audio levels, commentary is too quiet compared to the sound effects

[@patrickpatrick4549]

that song is so out of the blue. It took me off guard

[@Lasvegasnowman1]

I have been there many times and it is something to see in person you can't really appreciate it until you have been there amazing feat of engineering.

[@catchmypoint6756]

These animations are super useful to understand the subjects deeply thanks to your hole team

[@hereforthechips7710]

Impressive video. This is better than school. No teacher is this smart.

[@dipubiswas8520]

One of the great Engineering channel. I have weatched that construction before but didn’t' know about the gap.Tnx a lot....

[@DurfDiggler]

Many years ago I took a tour of the inside of the Hoover Dam. Very impressive & beautiful structure. Sad that the water levels are so low.

[@charlesball6519]

Over watering in a desert landscape (Phoenix Metro area)

[@DurfDiggler]

@@charlesball6519 That doesn’t help, but from what I’ve read, the majority of the water from the Colorado River is allocated to & used in California.

[@PappuBhardwaj-cu7mt]

It's really amazing information. Thanks for your informative animation 😊😊😊😊

[@danielmorris6523]

The fact this was built in the 1930s is amazing.

[@afaqkhan5244]

Very interesting, and to understand how water generates electricity, great engineering, technology and hard work of all the workers involved in this project construction From Washington DC

[@cod06]

Interesting, I never thought about the design of the dam.

[@allanolave2701]

A very informative video. Thank you very much.

[@Anityam]

Great job Lesics

[@PRCOM]

Brilliant thanks for this

[@rudycramer225]

In 1930 as well. Amazing.

[@ppwithaweewee9403]

Keep up the good work, even though you guys are running under profit wise you guys are producing world class content. Thanks Lesics.

[@MorganRasmussen-tp2xk]

So elegant.

[@mrkattm]

How do they synchronize the generators to be in phase and and at the correct frequency? That is the more interesting question.

[@charlesball6519]

Shaft brake, I imagine, applying just a small amount of pressure to slow it slightly down until it is in phase and then lock it in to the grid and release the brake. Also water gate adjustment works

[@GorachandSingh-tx1qt]

Which signal do you guys trade

[@DanielReynold]

it's about the fake traders that you meet you haven't heard about Olivia Palermo yet

[@DanielReynold]

She's mostly on Telegrams, using the user name.

[@DanielReynold]

@Olivpal77💯.. that's it

[@Rocketman88002]

5:48 The Story of The Hoover Dam is by far the most comprehensive documentary on the actual construction of the dam. Herbert Hoover, himself an engineer was in a perfect position to work with the Bureau of Reclamation and oversee everything from the bidding to the building. The structure is known as a gravity arch dam which uses the simple physical properties of weight and the distributive properties of an arch. The entire structure is a huge plug in the canyon walls sitting on a huge foundation.

[@breshkotashmal7362]

This was a dam good video.

[@saddam_bulle]

Thanks ❤

[@user-gu4qy9wk8s]

aw shit is that superman with a thor hammer 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[@TomeSouza-dk7xj]

aw shit is that superman with a Thor💯💯💯 vs (?????Hammer???🔥🔥🔥 13:02

[@GeoffCostanza]

I learned a lot from this dam video

[@truko22]

Increíble construcción y logro de ingeniería 😯

[@AmadeusIhsan]

the water molecules are so cute >.

[@adrenalineTube]

Thanks!

[@ocamlmail]

Thank you.

[@Vikash.Yadav_1]

Amazing ❤❤

[@rozinaakter7147]

Work on background music

[@orchuvinay57]

Hai sir.....superb explanation 👌 Please make a video on india's biggest masonry dam "NAGARJUNA SAGAR DAM" It has superb constructional facts. I will help you on this sir

[@Etx-z9]

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but... I don't think a beaver could have built this.

[@jesusalc1421]

can u prove he didnt?

[@user-rk1bf4eh2p]

Same way we did Niagara Falls. Did you know at night they shut part of the falls off by diverting most of the water into the turbines

[@-q-b0_1]

🙌 for great visuals

[@OGGYofficial-sp457]

Never thought Superman will lift mjolnir 😂😅

[@EyesOfByes]

So, magic music inserted

[@abhishekjoshi7380]

@9:10 I really liked your videos.. but please use clean containers to show your experiment.

[@SereneFlipFlops-yc7sf]

Awesome

[@PrestoWind]

Actually, it's an alternator, not a generator.

[@a2_games]

🔥🔥🔥

[@CO84trucker]

Dam good video!

[@booyalol]

That's how you build a DAMN! DAM!

[@isanarditama]

genius

[@renj6531]

10:50 exactly how an alternator on a car works their is no magnet but you need to send power to the alternator to initiate the magnetic field and generate power

[@Mk99987]

“ Tunnel boring machines unpopular at the time”?? They simply did not exist for hard rock tunnels. First introduced in the 1950’s. Also the jumbos did not drill sideways as the illustration shows.

[@ganondalf8090]

its ai generated

[@megamastah]

@@ganondalf8090 no, it's manually generated using 3D CAD software.

[@ocamlmail]

Did they actually test water overflow or were there any such situations in real life?

[@seansull]

Is this a re upload?

[@nerds-nonsense]

yeah, it's a thing they do to try nd get more followers, even tho it's counterproductive

[@Kilaueaorph4n]

Block by block concrete pouring. Dude was a Minecraft visionary. 😅

[@jamesbarry1673]

When will the dam have to be pulled down?

[@eanders7992]

Solar farms are able to generate the same power as the Hover dam. Just not after a hail storm....

[@Eyes_of_Oryx]

Haha😂 who animated the Superman? They didn’t even try

[@dapolcio3405]

16:35 - It took 6 years to fill Lake Mead, so viewers couldn't see the huge reservoirs of water after just one month.

[@azimuth4850]

I like the video and the animations. 👍👍👍

[@JosuaKrause]

can you provide metric units for the majority of the world?

[@jaydenpersonal0432]

10:14 ohh that's how a turbo works in side the supra💀💀💀

[@user-gu4qy9wk8s]

whoever edited this video did an awesome job and needs to be paid more

[@moza6651]

Wooooow 15:54 ❤❤❤❤

Display your Patreon link at the bottom of the video at all times, so viewers who don't watch until the end can learn about it. Additionally, leave a comment on all your videos explaining the significance of your Patreon and pin it. This way, those who are able to contribute can be informed about your Patreon.

[@laurelspradlin2154]

That guy only ran 10 steps before Detonating the dynamite

[@elemvill]

present sir

[@derMaxOfficial]

The wierd music soundeffects (for example when superman appears) can be left out in my opinion ;)

[@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX]

Hmm, how is there water underneath the dam if it was built on top of hard strata?

[@vivek-420]

Why has Lesic’s animation quality decreased significantly?

[@EyesOfByes]

Using same old software probably...I'm no animator. I just watch Corridor Crew. Perhaps Lesics should just use Unreal Engine 5, so Lesics can see the animations and renders in real-time.

[@juandavidzuluaga]

It's comically bad

[@nerds-nonsense]

@@EyesOfByes that's not how animation works, it's like drawing: using better paper and pencils won't change your ability to draw, they look bad simply because they stopped putting in as much time(or money).

[@legendarytech3861]

bro! john savage

[@electroniciit9304]

I THINK SO THAT INOVATIVE THUMNAIL LEAD TO THE SUCESS OF VIDEOS IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME , JUST SEE YOU OLDER VIDEOS . ONLY THOSE VIDEOS HAVE VIEWS WHICH HAVE PUBLIC ATTRACTING THUMB NAIL

[@booyalol]

Doesn't steel rust used to make pipes???

Looks like a part of female anatomy from the top view.

[@martineastburn3679]

Not stated here is 5 companies pulled this out and did it all. I got to meet with the Son of one of these men and he was something else himself. Now he has Passed. His children live on.

Nice collab between DC and marvel 😂

[@mikeadler434]

👍👍

[@canav8]

You should probably go out to Boulder City and watch the actual videos of production. Your artist rendering is cute but not accurate. The actual videos are free to view in Boulder City. They charge to watch it at the dam.

[@ahnabd]

does anyone know a channel like this but talks about IT?

[@abhi36292]

17:00 bro jumpscare

[@thomasrichardson8327]

WARNING jump scare voice at 17:00 of a random indian guy yapping...not sure how that got left in there

[@nouveauprofil]

Ehm, excuse me! Is this a God dam?

[@abubakargabol8134]

❤❤

[@Christian-pw5nh]

Imagine if they just get rid of it and go back to the way it was

[@hko2006]

In 1931 even

Great video other than the ridiculously loud sound effects and wtf animations.

The narration...with weird placed and volumed sound effects...nearly unwatchable

[@hamidtajir81480]

[@CharlieC716]

I greatly appreciate these educational videos. However, I think the owner should avoid explaining things in person. As a non-native English speaker, I have a lot of trouble understanding you. Please ask the main narrator who is clearly a native English speaker to speak. Thanks.
