I used to work as a radio technician operator back in the day. We used to put up those giant TV and cell phone communication towers and those Towers use these wires to tie themselves into the ground. This one time we had a new guy who didn't really know what he was doing and he put the bracket that holds the wires together on backwards. For those of you out there that know it, he saddled his horse improperly. So we just got done putting on the final level of this Tower and we heard a dreaded noise. Sounds like someone dragging their fingernail across the lowest chord of a piano. We all looked over to see the wire swing up in the air going at least a hundred miles an hour and then the whole Tower itself came down. It was a chain reaction, when that one wire flipped all of them started to break and fail. In the end everything was destroyed but those cables were moving at such high speeds when the tower fell that the cables themselves are embedded in the ground. Like there's at least seven to eight hundred feet of cable that we just left because it was so deep in the ground it would take an excavator just to be able to get it out. And the craziest part was There was a pasture right next door that about 10 or 15 wires flew into and completely destroyed, two days before hand the guy moved his cattle because he wanted to make sure they were safe just in case the tower fell. Crazy how things work sometimes. If those cows had been there, anything hit by those wires would have been cut in half.

The cables were then sent to a nearby university with had the testing equipment to inspect the tensile strength of the cable ends prior to shipping. Basically, It was a warehouse with an an anchor embedded in four feet of concrete, and a lift to pull the cable up.

There is a major difference between the two examples at 4:44. The smaller diameter rope has it's individual wires twisted so they lay in a longitudinal direction, where the larger diameter rope has it's wires twisted opposite so they lay diagonal. The smaller one is a much stronger design.

... because the smaller one's wires are aligned with the load, instead of being perpendicular to the load. At 2:40 they show the 6 strands being "closed" into a wire rope. Interesting when you look at the way the individual wires are wrapped, in a left-hand or right-hand spiral. Shows the outside layer of wires in the individual 6 strands are going from left to right, that is, clockwise, as the spiral travels away from you if you're sighting down the cable. Chances are, all of the wires in any given strand are going to be wound layer upon layer in alternating, opposite directions. So, the layer of wires underneath the top layer that we see might be wound in a "Left-Hand" spiral. That helps the cable stay together because each layer cancels the twisting tendency of the layer under it. However, here all we can see is that the big 6 strands being closed into a wire rope are laid "Right-Handed". They're being wrapped in a clockwise direction to make a rope that is also finished in a "Right-Hand Lay" direction. They're wrapped around a core of cable (not sure if the core is "strand" or "cable", but typically it's cable), and notice that core cable is Also laid "Right-Handed". This means this is going to be a forgiving, relatively stretchy cable that's good at absorbing shock loads, but not so good at resisting unwinding itself if it's got a load hanging from that rope, and that load decides to start spinning. The Only Left-Hand wires that we can see are the individual wires making up the outer layer of the core cable. Those are six "Left-Lay" wires, each one having (again) Six wires wrapped around a six- (or 19, can't see it) wire tiny core. But if every other strand in this cable is wound Right-Hand for stretch, you can assume the core strand (inside the 6 Right-Hand strands) is also laid Right-Handed. The Finished wire rope is designed to stretch, and the core cable needs to be the stretchiest component so it doesn't just get overloaded and break. It is not there to contribute to the overall strength of the cable, it is there to hold the strands that wrap around it in their proper place. Best case scenario would be the core cable could supply around 7% of the cable's strength, even tho it's theoretically nearly 15% of its mass. Someone else commented their ski-lift ropes had rubber cores. Some cables have natural or plastic fibre cores, which also store lubricant. But most strand (as seen at 2:42), as well as most wire rope (similar to the one shown at 0:12), is built on a single core wire surrounded by six wires in the first layer. Actually, at 0:12, they're all 8's: 8 wire core surrounded by same size 8 strand layer, all surrounded by 8 larger cables in the next layer, and finished with 8 even fatter strands. But most wire-ropes start out as six around a core. The narrator says a strand can be between 19 and 36 wires; the 19 wire strand is again really 6 around a single wire core, plus another layer of 12 over those 7. Defining "What is a strand vs what is a wire rope, vs what is a cable", you could say that in a strand, there is no duplication of patterns in adjacent components, where in a wire rope there is definitely duplication of the same strand over and over. As far as defining a cable goes, technically it would be a number of finished wire ropes laid up (closed) into an even bigger "cable". If you're talking about fiber rope (not metal), "Cable-Laid" rope is made from smaller ropes wound together into a "Cable" that has every layer opposite-laid from the layer under it. But if you wound together multiple wire ropes with all of its components in the same direction, you could define that as a cable-laid rope too. These days, cable works as a generic term for all kinds of stuff. So it's ok to say "cable", even if you're talking about a strand. There are countries where they're called the opposite, that is, left means right and vice-versa, and there are places in the world where they call cable (for example) six SLOT, instead of six STRAND, but if you've read this far you're already bored s******s, so we better "cloze" this conversation here and now. Sorry, got carried away there, Thank You.

He died in the cold winters of the Netherlands, leaving behind only his beautiful creation.

It was right when wire ropes were starting to be made from (carbon) plow steel instead of just iron. That meant that the new and improved stuff was much stronger, theoretically. But "steel" cables had a new set of problems. Increased oxidation, even when galvanised. Exfoliation. They could be brittle; every single wire in a cable needs to move independently, and iron was better at that. Iron wire rope was much weaker, yet Iron elevator cables exist even in the 21st century. Because it's more reliable, even if it is Weaker (and larger diameter as a result). So, maybe the cables on the Brooklyn Bridge were always intended to be Iron, and using "improved" cable was counterproductive, but that's not as interesting as the story of fraud that found traction (lol). Thank You qt.

When a the only thing keeping 22680 kilograms (that's 50000 pounds) from smashing you says cable on the side of its spool that it comes off of, you call it fucking cable. Frankly unless you work in the factory where its made I've probably seen more of the shit everyone commenting on this video combined. I've cut with a torch, a grinder, and even used specially designed cutters for it. I've replaced it on equipment, carried places by hand, and watched it crimp, frey, strech, fold, bend and snap in ways that would probably leave some people questioning the likelihood of shit in their pants. You ever seen 136070 kilograms (300000 pounds give or take) sway in the breeze like a leaf on a tree? I have. It makes you realize that you would much rather call it something strong and unique like "Cable" than something weak and boring like "wire rope". You at least hope the guy who invented it thought enough of it to come up with a unique name for it because your may or may not depend on something as fickle and stupid as "wire rope".
