Flying a drone into the Lake Berryessa spillway
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
[Check out another video on my channel; it's wild! • Almost wiped out in su... ]
Lake Berryessa's spillway is active for the first time in 10 years, thanks to a very wet winter in California.
Flying the drone down into the spillway entrance was interesting: the air rushing down the hole started to pull the drone down but it was easy enough to climb out. Fortunately, the day didn't end with Mavic being spat out the other side of the dam wall!

I'm a local from this lake. We all call this the "Glory Hole" it is the over flow for the dam when full. It empty's through the bottom of the dam, it's called the "Shower Head". Super nice lake before they closed all the camp sites and removed all the trailer sites.

I tried to see this video through one of those "turn a one page article into a 45 page advert" websites that was making it seem like it was a complete mystery why the hole was there, and I'm not at all surprised that it's an actual function of the dam.

Great video, I live in the area and have been to berryessa and putah creek many many times. Most people don't realize that the glory hole exits the dam below, you can't see it from the road side. Back in the 70s we would hike up the creek and into the tube all the way up to the 90* turn and look straight up from under the dam pretty cool but obviously off limits these days.

It's known where it goes. You can see on the Video where the water exit's below the dam. The tunnel itself can be accessed on foot from below and is covered with graffiti for that reason.
Very cool video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
What a beautiful scenery. I first noticed things like this at one of the rafting rides at the great escape. It was really small. Only a few feet in diameter.
Marvellous engineering and Ingenuity
The ultimate water slide! You go first bud. I’ll go over here and get a picture when you come out.
Nice flying!
The hole freaks me xd
To anyone that believes that you could jump in to this and emerge unscathed this is what would really happen. You would slam into the concrete at the bottom of the 200ft drop which is like jumping of a 4 story building straight into concrete head first. If that didn’t kill you water pressure would hundreds of thousands gallons of water pour down that spillway every second and if you somehow survive that there is a hydraulic or recirculating current that would pull you under and hold you under water until you were pulled out. There is no chance of surviving one of these

1:01 I wonder why just that one side is uneven on the spillway lip. Did they design a slightly lower slide of sorts on one side to let a trickle get over even if the water isn't high enough to go over the full lip yet? That would allow a little more water flow on top of the regular water going over, which may be why it sticks out with a little more water and force than the rest of it.

Jesse Wilson Didn't read your entire comment. My bad. Some woman died in the 1990s because she got sucked into it from a rip tide going into the drain. If you got caught in the current near the drain, it'd be 100% unescapable. If you're a few hundred yards out, you should be fine-unless you were are a really small/weak person.

@@shchorss However, this is not a gated spillway. Operators can't start and stop it on command - instead, as the water level rises, it at first trickles over, then the flow gets stronger with further rise. Unless someone teleported a huge amount of water into a lake, it's not gonna suddenly start flowing at full speed.
