15 Most POWERFUL Dams on Earth - HIGH PRESSURE
Ойын-сауық
With increasing power demands worldwide, hydroelectric energy has been a popular alternative, in the past century, to traditional fossil fuel based options. As technology continually improves, the efficiency of this means of electricity generation is almost unbelievable… but the infrastructure and alteration of the landscape to make this possible is equally as drastic. Featuring some of the largest structures ever built by anyone, these are the 15 of the world’s most powerful dams.

Well I’ll be damnd
Dam these are crazy lol!! Always enjoy your videos thank you for your hard work!!!
in 2012 at the Grand Coulee Dam, I delivered tanker truck loads of oil for the new transformers being installed at the Powerhouse. The oil had to be slowly pumped out of the tanker and thru a special process before going into the transformers and it took about 10 hours. While waiting I was given an unescorted access to Powerhouse which was 5 or 6 floors. It was very interesting to wander around this hugh building with massive equipment.

I remember when they had the glass elevator going up the face of the dam. I miss that thing.
These dams even make beavers run for safety. Won't catch me swimming there...
Thanks a fantastic news!
DAM !!! This is incredible ! Great compilation ! .. I have a question about the term "megawatt" .. When the number is given .. what time frame is that ? As in 5,000 megawatts per ? hour? day? minute? ..? Constant , sustained at all times? Very curious and not afraid to admit my ignorance about this..

It is istanteneus max power, therefore you dont need time. Energy is measured with time (e.g. 1 GWh). Power is measured in Watt (e.g. 1 GW)

Watt is the amount of energy produced every second in other terms joules per second

3 Gorges damn is so powerful, they have to open it during flood season and destroy downstream towns and farmland to prevent it from collapsing

The three Gorge Dam wiped out hundreds of villages and destroyed cultural heritage without thought but siltafication is already starting to destroy it. A giant failure
AWESOME !! ABOUT TIME WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR NATURAL WONDRES
Wow this is amazing
thank you for the video amazing nature.Only surprise not even one in Africa really yooh
I love this dam video!
Top Fives??? - hehehe... Great content. Thank you.
Damn dams
If you search on youtube videos about the construction of Itaipu Dam (between Brazil and Paraguai), you'll be 😵😯😲 It was and still it's one of the largest projects ever built on Earth. The second biggest in America continent, just behind the Canal in Panama.
Okay, good job boys, now we need something to electrify.
Water style … Water Dragon Jutzu! 💦🐉💦
I have the opportunity to be inside Itaipu, under and above the turbines, just the axle of one turbine is 300 tons and the turbine is 1.200 tons, the entire structure shakes since the day one and is no cracks on it.
You definitely don't want to be washed away by one of these!
THE MOST POWERFUL "DAM" IS THE SUN. MÓRE POWER YOU CÁN'T GET.
God dam that's alot of water creating a lot dam power!
Even Ron Simmons is impressed
power
The video sounds interesting, exceeding my expectation for content like this, but It doesn't seem like much help for discovering key techniques that elevate water pressure home electronic appliances can perform.
Why do dams make me happy?

" And if the dam breaks open many years too soon. And if there no room upon the hill. And if your head explodes with dark foreboding too, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." Roger Waters for Pink Floyd.
There's a song about the "Grand Coolie Dam by Lonnie Donegan" I wonder if they'll bring out a song about the other's.
OK.... In the first 10 second is says "Nasa calculates the force of this dam slows the rotation of the earth by .6 micro seconds per year".... How? Like isn't that like standing on a skateboard with a leafblower into an umbrella expecting to accelerate forward?

The dam is holding a large quantity of water at a higher level than it would naturally be at. This is making the Earth's moment of inertia slightly higher, like a dancer moving his or her arms outward while pirouetting.

Niagara Falls does generate electricity. There are 2 generating plants in the US and 1 in Canada.
Surely a little bit of poor taste and bad timing considering the dam disasters in Brazil.
Over dramatized music.
Free electric! DAM!
Vaporize? Is that a fact.
