I'm always blown away by the San Francisco skyscraper collection. When I moved there in the 80's there was the Bank of America tower and the TransAmerica pyramid. Not much of anything south of Market Street. Salesforce Tower is 20 stories taller. Yes the Bay area is Super windy, it is a notch in the coastal mountains that funnels cool air into the hot interior of the state which acts like a giant chimney. Today I was getting some plywood as while tying it to the roof rack the wind flipped one edge up and snapped the 1/8" panel

amazing

[@x1achilles99]

Great video. I thought it may be boring but it was fascinating. So professional, even to the point of claiming the tallest building in the world "at time of filming." So responsible... KZbin is littered with old videos that have claims that aren't correct with little way of knowing what age they are.

[@heleneg525]

"The tallest building in the world 'at the time of filming" is surely correct. Sometime in the near future I'm sure we can see a structure even taller than the Burj Khalifa.

[@toxicclown3035]

Fascinating and informative. As always.

[@christiancarlo-stella7633]

at 3:06 where it shows the wind pushing the building, the building is shown to sway in the direction of the wind although this actually isn’t how a building reacts to wind. due to the vortex shedding the building actually sways in a perpendicular direction from the wind, so if the wind was blowing this way on a building 💨→◾️ (from birds eye view) it would generally cause the building to sway this way ↑↓. This diagram explanis it: physicstoday.scitation.org/action/showOpenGraphArticleImage?doi=10.1063/1.3490510&id=images/medium/1.3490510.figures.f1.gif

NEW YORK CITY! Great Video!

[@jfhow]

Wellington, New Zealand is the windiest city in the world with an annual average around 16 knots/hr (18 miles/hr). Wellington is located in what is known as a River of Wind, a wind corridor between the South and North Islands of New Zealand. On average, the city sees 173 days above 32 knots and 22 days over 40 knots. Wellington is a great place to travel though, and it was named the Lonely Planet’s 4th Best Destination in 2011. Any city that experiences hurricanes would qualify, though.

[@markbrown2296]

Bryan, Windy City in reference to Chicago has to do with politicians and not actual wind.

Damn just like a year ago this channel has 10k subs. The quality and presentation of the quality information stands out from almost all other KZbin channels.

[@TheB1M]

Wow - thank you so much for your feedback!! 👍👍 It took us 3 years to get 10K, then another 9 months to get 100K. Now just 2 months later we have almost 200K. It’s crazy how the pace can pickup on KZbin. When Casey Neistat hit 10M he said that his first 10K was the hardest. So far we’d definitely agree.

[@Rich-MarsEco]

@The B1M, would you do a video on whether or not the building in the movie "Skyscraper" would be possible to build? The height, shape, wind turbines, garden/park center, helo pad, etc.

[@DEATHWISHVQ]

3:57 this has me confused, would’ve a curved rounded edge be better for aero? At least in a car it would help with wind passing smoothly, the cube cut would trap air and cause drag. Wouldn’t cashing air to get trapped in the cube corner cause the air to have more power over the building?
