No audio?

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

[@PandaTaco]

It was more than that, it's been Said that the company wanted the number to be less than 100 for the public eye. The real number was more like 110-120

[@scubasteve3032]

[@AlSufyan225]

It's huge loss of life... May Allah rest them peace and increase the longevity of the dam...

[@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.

[@antiquefuturistic]

It would be working for the next 262 years when it would become a strategic location for the New California Republic

[@simonshotter8960]

@@duroisgawdpower production is a side note, that wasn’t its main goal. Its main goal was water control.

Very good presentation. It is quite a large structure that I hope to visit some day.

[@dipubiswas8520]

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

[@quantumleap359]

Our visit to the dam was awe inspiring. Its sheer size is amazing, and the guided tour inside the dam is one we will never forget. An engineering masterpiece that is unmatched. However, with the dwindling water level in Lake Mead, the dam's usefulness for generating electricity has been seriously hampered. Hopefully, weather conditions will reverse this downward spiral of Lake Mead's capacity to store water. Excellent video.

[@Anityam]

Great job Lesics

[@-q-b0_1]

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.

can u prove he didnt?

[@Vikash.Yadav_1]

Amazing ❤❤

[@adrenalineTube]

Thanks!

[@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]

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

[@PrestoWind]

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

[@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.

Is this a re upload?

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

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

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

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.

[@XxZeldaxXXxLinkxX]

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

Expand or contract? You leave a gap so it has room to expand.

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).
