The Brilliant Engineering Behind Burj Khalifa | Richard Hammond's Big

[@Xenuos]

Imagine living in Dubai, going to a park and seeing Richard Hammond on the swings talking about how skyscrapers have a harmonic frequency

That ‘confusing the wind’ trick is absolutely a work of genius. Like, that’s Brunel level stuff, right there. Top marks, baldy.

[@mbb2725]

I like how the analogy of confusing the wind to that of the swing was portrayed. Makes it easier to understand.

[@f_2019]

One of the best buildings you can go see... when next to it, its breathtaking

[@Zakaria2424]

I work there in the Burj! :) and still always nice to see the building from the bottom and the city from top.

[@happymemories8943]

Really.. Can you send me photos

[@aloobi]

I live in Dubai. I see it every day. I've taken it for granted but after seeing this video, I'm as amazed as I was the first time I saw it. It is a truly magnificent structure that everyone must see.

[@ahmdjoiya]

Me too. But it doesn't have that much special effect when you see it in person. It looks more overwhelming on screen than in person.

[@SD-lo8mh]

But have you been inside Burj khalifa

The best thing about your show is when you try to explain complicated engineering concepts and simple ways. And you also explain how a big challenge was solved using engineering knowledge. We miss your engineering connection show

I wonder if they could have used The Golden Angle (137.5... degrees). That way it wouldn't look like a bunch of arbitrary balconies, yet it still could confuse the wind. The Golden Angle could also maximize light for the balconies.

The Prophet of Islam predicted 1400 years ago that the Bedouins of the desert would compete in building tall structures and this would be a sign of the end times. Let that sink in, 1400 years ago when the Bedouins had nothing and today we need engineers to explain to us how it was done.

"...the wind can work with that natural frequency to actually increase the rate at which I'm swinging." No, it increases the amplitude of the swinging, not the rate.
