Thanks to the Department of the Interior for giving us this amazing opportunity, it truly was amazing to see this incredible structure that was built in 1930's.

That was a cool video. Several years ago I visited the Hoover dam and was able to go into the generator room but not down to the floor. If anyone hasn't been there they are truly missing one of the MOST amazing structures ever made by man. It will blow your mind how big that room is. Just think of the imagination, design skill, engineering and pure manpower it took to create the dam.

As someone born in West Allis and planning to visit Hoover Dam in May, I was absolutely floored to see the Allis-Chalmers plaque next to the original turbines! What an awesome piece of history trivia I didn't expect.
You basically went on the exact same tour the general public went on back in the late 1960’s, and yes, we could look out the vents about halfway back up. Back then they called it Boulder Dam, the other buildings on top besides the two elevator towers, are 2 two story public restrooms. If memory serves, there is a great view from the upper level. This brought back great memories for me.

I am amazed by the network of tunnels and all of the massive machinery inside. The thing is when you see footage of the dam being constructed it looks very much like it is solid from base to top? Obviously the amount of planning and thought all of the way through the project was immense. Would love to see some of the finer detail like that and the way they went about it. Thankyou guys for the insight to this engineering marvel.

All of the hardware is monel so it won't corrode and designed to last more than 100 years with daily use, simple things like door latches and hinges, and all the inlay for the terrazzo floors

The open turbine you saw was "JUST" for the service power (as you said), those types are called Pelton turbines, while the actual operating turbines are Francis turbines (which are more efficient if the height is substantial), and those have different blade formations. Just a little fun fact.

This is really interesting, thanks for doing this video and sharing it with us! A number of years ago, I got to spend a night on Alcatraz, and with my group I got to go on an awesome tour of the island and the prison, covering the normal areas but we also went to a bunch of other places that most people don't get to see like the gun galleries (elevated walkways where the guards could watch the prisoners), the guard recreation room, the lighthouse, and other places. It would be really cool if you guys could arrange to do a video there!
If I spit water on my mom like that I would get slapped.
