Eiffel Tower, Story Of An Incredible Bet

[@erikpeterson25]

In August 2005 I stood on the Eifel tower with the lights of Paris all around and was in awe of what I saw. I am not a city person, rather at home in the mountains , the woods and the country life. Thx for this documentary 👍

[@coriscotupi]

The Eiffel tower is in fact something that has to be personally experienced to be fully grasped. Photos and videos just won't completely to it justice.

[@MichaelErdtmann]

Es waren ja auch bloß die Lichter der Stadt, die dich so beeindruckt haben. Aber bestimmt nicht dieser Eisenschrottturm, der kurz vor dem Kollaps steht.

[@AnselmoPauloRamos]

Que história interessante. Que vídeo importante. Quem poderia imaginar que o canal do Panamá terminou por financiar a construção da Torre Eiffel, e que ambas as obras primas da engenharia eram contemporâneas. Gustave Eiffel teve que enfrentar não só os desafios da engenharia da época, mas também as intrigas de bastidores, a inveja, a corrupção, a descrença, enfim Gustave Eiffel teve que superar inclusive o preconceito e a perseguição racial e religiosa, e isso que aconteceu no século XIX parece tão recente, é tão contemporâneo nos dias de hoje, ou seja, não existe nada de novo sob o sol...

[@ubroberts5541]

Aside from the complexity of the tower itself, the scaffolding required to construct the base was a marvel in itself. Pure genius.

[@Joe-ym6bw]

It's not just that the view from the top was amazing: it was the first time people had seen the layout of Paris. Remember, this was before the airplane and most had never flown in the air. (A few had been in balloons.) It was a revelation to the visitors to see the entire design of the city laid out before them.

The Eiffel Tower is to Paris the way the Empire State Building is to New York. Inseparable bonds. My grandfather visited Paris in 1929 and in almost every photo he took, the Eiffel Tower is plainly visible. I was there in 1978 and went all the way to the top of the tower.

A high school mate who became an architech has studied this tower for a few years and has marveled at the immensity of the project. Given the technology of the day, even more marvelous. It may stand for 300 years before rust destroys it, if not painted.

It's up there with the Forth River Bridge in Scotland and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York which were both built around the same time (Brooklyn Bridge a little earlier).. all gobsmacking examples of huge engineering feets of the period... without the aid of electronics and computers.... that we still use to this day. The lift alone in the Eiffel Tower is a marvel in itself. One could only imagine what the Parisians thought of the tower when it was completed. It looks so futuristic in comparison to the amazing architecture it is sharing its space with. Could be a bit biased here, but love the French and their sense of style.

The origin of the iron of the Eiffel Tower Parisian since 1889, the Eiffel Tower, by its metal, comes from the Grand Est region, more precisely near Nancy in Lorraine! In 1887, Gustave Eiffel needed more than 7,000 tons of iron to make the centerpiece of the 1889 Universal Exhibition: he launched a call for tenders won by the Fould-Dupont forges of Pompey, in Meurthe-et-Moselle. The company of blast furnaces, forges and steelworks of Pompey supplied all the iron necessary for the construction of the Eiffel Tower and also took care of the puddling. Before being processed, the ore was directly extracted from local mines. Exactly 18,038 pieces of iron were produced by the Fould-Dupont forges for the Eiffel Tower. We can still see their "signature" plaque affixed to one of the pillars of the Tower today!

[@TomaszDudkowski-s7n]

Mam drobną uwagę. Ok. 4:05' autor podaje, że materiał konstrukcyjny wieży - stal (czy też żelazo, ale mniejsza o to) jest równie wytrzymała jak kamień, a lżejsza. W rzeczywistości stal jest cięższa ok. 3 razy od kamieni budowlanych, zaś jej wytrzymałość na rozciąganie jest zdecydowanie wyższa. Stąd jej przydatność w budownictwie. W materiale dotyczącym nowatorskiej konstrukcji inżynierskiej to spore foux pas. Ogólnie przyznaję jednak, że film jest bardzo interesujący 🙂

[@podunkman2709]

Żelazo to nie stal. Żelazo to pierwiastek chemiczny o symbolu Fe, który jest jednym z najważniejszych metali w przemyśle. W czystej postaci jest miękki i łatwo ulega korozji.Stal to stop żelaza z węglem (i często z innymi pierwiastkami, takimi jak mangan, chrom, nikiel itp.), który ma znacznie lepsze właściwości mechaniczne niż czyste żelazo. W zależności od zawartości węgla i innych dodatków, stal może być twardsza, bardziej odporna na korozję lub mieć inne pożądane właściwości.Podsumowując: stal jest produktem na bazie żelaza, ale nie są one tym samym.
