I find this place absolutely fascinating! As a retired diesel/heavy equipment mechanic, I've always been fascinated by mechanical things, and how they work. Thanks again for sharing these videos, and also for the English subs so I can better understand what I'm seeing. Very cool indeed!

[@eggaeri]

You're welcome.

@@eggaeri At the turbine wicket gates before the water hits the runner ...how much bar pressure are we talking here?

[@eggaeri]

@@russellking9762 The pressure shaft has a drop height of approximately 500 meters, which corresponds to around 50 bar. Greetings from Switzerland.

Vielen Dank Edgar, deine Aufnahmen sind wie immer sehr interessant und bieten Einblicke in Bereiche die sonst nie zu sehen sind. Würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du weiterhin machen kannst..

[@eggaeri]

Danke für das Lob!

[@swaggerbauer]

Thankssss! These power station videos are something special

[@dougmapper3306]

That is some fantastic engineering. The pipework big and small is immaculate. What an honor to perform maintenance on such a machine.

[@mattswidmer]

Besten Dank, es ist immer wieder interessant neues vom Kraftwerk zu sehen.

[@eggaeri]

Gern geschehen!

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

Edgar with each video you show something not everyone will get to see and it draws me in more and more. I will say at 5:30 to 6:30 when you are inside the turbine, that scared me not going to lie, seeing the turbine vanes up close.. I should say within touching distance never thought I see that. please stay safe and can't wait for the next tour video

[@isukarse]

Danke für die Videos, komme alle paar Monate zu deinem Kanal um zu gucken ob es wieder was gibt. Wir wollen alle ganz viele große beeindruckende Stollen, Maschinen und mechaniken sehen. Danke dafür!! Puren Respekt vor der macht von Wasser, besonders der Schrägschacht und die Turbinen sind absolut interessant

[@gglovato]

absolutely claustrophobic

[@HenkChinaski]

Super scary behind the dam bars...Edit: Thanks for the invalualble footage from inside (from the friggin IN-SIDE) a ball valve and the turbine intake. This one is almost as frightening as the Waterschloss Sarell video.

[@eggaeri]

Thank you, I was happy to do that 👻😱. Greetings from switzerland.

@@HenkChinaski At the turbine intake wicket gates..how much bar pressure are we talking here?

[@HenkChinaski]

@@russellking9762 I guess this is something @eggaeri can answer better as it' his vid and profession. I can only assume the hydrostatic pressure alone at the intake would be something around 100 PSI. But the force the wicket gates have to withstand will be much higher as a huge shitload of water is moving pretty quick towards them. But again: I did electrical / IT engineering and thus totally suck in mcehanics, especially fluid dynamics.

[@jlrojas1973]

Mr. Edgar, congrats for your awesome videos from Dam and estructure, mechanics and wonderful images from inside of turbine, ducts, etc etc.

[@Schlorg]

Wie immer, einzigartige, beeindruckende Einblicke! Der Wahnsinn! Vielen Dank für deine Mühen, Edgar!

[@eggaeri]

Herzlichen Dank!

[@stefanmeier6763]

Vielen herzlichen Dank für diese wundervollen und einzigartigen Einblicke in eine, sonst verborgene, Welt. Bitte mach' weiter so, ich "verschlinge" Deine Videos jedes Mal. 🙂

[@geryvmax1865]

Diese Videos vom inneren Bereich des Kraftwerks Sarelli sind einfach unglaublich. Ich betrachte es als Ehre, solch beeindruckende Videos sehen zu können. Es wäre mal interessant zu erfahren, welche Richtlinien erforderlich sind und welche Maßnahmen durchzuführen sind, wenn im inneren der Anlage gearbeitet wird. 😎😈🍎🎸🤘

[@fohdeesha]

Awesome! Love these tours. What's the brown system shown at 2:48? Hydraulics that control the ball valve? And then what's the silver valving and tank on the wall next to it?

[@admeichenhain]

Hydraulic pump

[@eggaeri]

Exactly, the brown unit is to open the ball valve with hydraulic oil, the things on the wall belong to the water control to close the ball valve again with water pressure. Greetings from switzerland.

[@stefanimhof419]

Hey Edgar, cool endlich mal wieder was vom Kraftwerk, 1000 Dank 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@eggaeri]

Sehr gerne 👍

[@1968slugger]

Dieses Bildmaterial ist wirklich einzigartig, Aufnahmen von Orten an denen über Jahre hinweg nie wieder ein Mensch sein wird. Ich bin wirklich ein Fan von Gebirgskraftwerken, für mich alles Meisterwerke menschlicher Ingenieurskunst, einfach grossartig.

[@rickygallodoc]

Love the red paint, I can hear a sort of "POWARRRRRR" echos :D I thought valves were driven by gearmotors, however everything is hydraulic, very interesting.

[@eggaeri]

Exactly, the large valves are mostly moved hydraulically. Greetings from switzerland.

[@kastlunger]

Ich liebe diese videos! bitte mehr davon :)

[@eggaeri]

Ich versuche es.

[@neonalon]

Hallo Edgar, vielen Dank für diese tolle Video's! Frage; bei 3:08 sehe ich einen art von runde Hydraulikzylinder zur bedienung der Kugelhahn? Niemals so gesehen!

[@eggaeri]

Ja, das sind wirklich runde, gebogene Hydraulikzylinder.

[@TheBeno7]

Fascinating! Thanks for posting this video, Edgar! What's behind the brown door at 1:45?

[@eggaeri]

Behind this door is the stairwell, this is the same door as at 3:20, they are massively built to hold back the water in the event of a plumbing failure in the ball valve room. Greetings from Switzerland. Hinter dieser Tür ist das Treppenhaus, das ist die gleiche Türe wie bei 3:20, die sind so massiv gebaut um das Wasser zurückzuhalten bei einer Havarie der Rohre im Kugelschieberraum. Grüsse aus der Schweiz.

[@TheBeno7]

​@@eggaeri I understand. That makes sense to have a door that thick. Thanks!; greetings from Knoxville, Tennessee!

[@fivepin55]

Do you have a diagram of the water flow? I am kind of confused about this setup.

[@eggaeri]

No, I haven't, but I don't know exactly what you mean either. Greetings from switzerland.

[@lonnyyoung4285]

​@@eggaeriI think he means do you have basic drawings of how the water flows through the plant and the various machinery that is involved.

[@thomasgrafe8767]

Du hast einen der interessantesten Berufe heutzutage verbunden mit viel Verantwortung, da Fehltritte nicht verziehen werden.

[@JCarey1988]

What does "gummi 7 mn OW" mean on the manhole?

[@eggaeri]

This means seal 7mm (millimeters) thick, OW means upper water and was needed to properly install the manhole cover. Greetings from switzerland.

[@largosss]

Was ist denn das bei 2:45min für eine Apparatur?

[@eggaeri]

Das ist Hydraulikpumpe um den Kugelschieber zu öffnen.
