Constructing the Wonder: Hoover Dam Secrets Revealed

A bit of trivia: 96 men died in the construction of this damn. The last man to die was the son of the first man to die. Great video, thanks!

I had never imagined Superman with Mjolnir, and here we are

And 88 years later the dam is still working to perfection and hopefully will continue to serve America for years to come. Great video.

Please normalize audio levels, commentary is too quiet compared to the sound effects

Wow. This video is art. Thank you, Lesics.

"... I was a dam builder... on a river deep and wide... where steel and water did collide..." Waylen Jennings

Special thanks for creating such useful video for us, watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Very helpful , presents a lot of knowledge in very effective way. Being a structural engineer I always enjoy such videos.

I have been there many times and it is something to see in person you can't really appreciate it until you have been there amazing feat of engineering.

that song is so out of the blue. It took me off guard

These animations are super useful to understand the subjects deeply thanks to your hole team

Impressive video. This is better than school. No teacher is this smart.

One of the great Engineering channel. I have weatched that construction before but didn’t' know about the gap.Tnx a lot....

Our visit to the dam was awe inspiring. Its sheer size is amazing, and the guided tour inside the dam is one we will never forget. An engineering masterpiece that is unmatched. However, with the dwindling water level in Lake Mead, the dam's usefulness for generating electricity has been seriously hampered. Hopefully, weather conditions will reverse this downward spiral of Lake Mead's capacity to store water. Excellent video.

Great job Lesics

🙌 for great visuals

I learned a lot from this dam video

A very informative video. Thank you very much.

It's really amazing information. Thanks for your informative animation 😊😊😊😊

The narration...with weird placed and volumed sound effects...nearly unwatchable

Keep up the good work, even though you guys are running under profit wise you guys are producing world class content. Thanks Lesics.

Brilliant thanks for this

I like the video and the animations. 👍👍👍

Very interesting, and to understand how water generates electricity, great engineering, technology and hard work of all the workers involved in this project construction From Washington DC

Very good presentation. It is quite a large structure that I hope to visit some day.

Interesting, I never thought about the design of the dam.

So elegant.

Haha😂 who animated the Superman? They didn’t even try

Many years ago I took a tour of the inside of the Hoover Dam. Very impressive & beautiful structure. Sad that the water levels are so low.

Thanks ❤

aw shit is that superman with a thor hammer 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Work on background music

Increíble construcción y logro de ingeniería 😯

Amazing ❤❤

In 1930 as well. Amazing.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but... I don't think a beaver could have built this.

Thanks!

whoever edited this video did an awesome job and needs to be paid more

How do they synchronize the generators to be in phase and and at the correct frequency? That is the more interesting question.

Dam good video!

Brilliant

Thank you.

🔥🔥🔥

This was a dam good video.

Never thought Superman will lift mjolnir 😂😅

the water molecules are so cute >.

Hai sir.....superb explanation 👌 Please make a video on india's biggest masonry dam "NAGARJUNA SAGAR DAM" It has superb constructional facts. I will help you on this sir

Such a great video, but ruined by the cuts in audio causing cracking and popping.

Actually, it's an alternator, not a generator.

5:48 The Story of The Hoover Dam is by far the most comprehensive documentary on the actual construction of the dam. Herbert Hoover, himself an engineer was in a perfect position to work with the Bureau of Reclamation and oversee everything from the bidding to the building. The structure is known as a gravity arch dam which uses the simple physical properties of weight and the distributive properties of an arch. The entire structure is a huge plug in the canyon walls sitting on a huge foundation.

So, magic music inserted

genius

Awesome

The fact this was built in the 1930s is amazing.

@9:10 I really liked your videos.. but please use clean containers to show your experiment.

at 7:04. The dam construction part reminds me of the show, Big Bigger Biggest

When will the dam have to be pulled down?

Is this a re upload?

Did they actually test water overflow or were there any such situations in real life?

That's how you build a DAMN! DAM!

Bonsoir, Les sous-titres en Français ne sont pas actif......

Amazing lesics raise funding for this youtube channel

Solar farms are able to generate the same power as the Hover dam. Just not after a hail storm....

10:50 exactly how an alternator on a car works their is no magnet but you need to send power to the alternator to initiate the magnetic field and generate power

Wooooow 15:54 ❤❤❤❤

17:00 bro jumpscare

“ Tunnel boring machines unpopular at the time”?? They simply did not exist for hard rock tunnels. First introduced in the 1950’s. Also the jumbos did not drill sideways as the illustration shows.

can you provide metric units for the majority of the world?

Block by block concrete pouring. Dude was a Minecraft visionary. 😅

You should probably go out to Boulder City and watch the actual videos of production. Your artist rendering is cute but not accurate. The actual videos are free to view in Boulder City. They charge to watch it at the dam.

Hmm, how is there water underneath the dam if it was built on top of hard strata?

11:50 Lower roll spins the wrong way

Same way we did Niagara Falls. Did you know at night they shut part of the falls off by diverting most of the water into the turbines

Hoover Gyatt

bro! john savage

If you're fortunate enough to visit the Hoover Dam, you must take the "Dam Tour" its worthy of your time and money!

Expand or contract? You leave a gap so it has room to expand.

I THINK SO THAT INOVATIVE THUMNAIL LEAD TO THE SUCESS OF VIDEOS IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME , JUST SEE YOU OLDER VIDEOS . ONLY THOSE VIDEOS HAVE VIEWS WHICH HAVE PUBLIC ATTRACTING THUMB NAIL

Doesn't steel rust used to make pipes???

Looks like a part of female anatomy from the top view.

10:14 ohh that's how a turbo works in side the supra💀💀💀

present sir

Why has Lesic’s animation quality decreased significantly?

When music came on I thought I had received a notification on my tablet. The music then got annoying

👍👍

Display your Patreon link at the bottom of the video at all times, so viewers who don't watch until the end can learn about it. Additionally, leave a comment on all your videos explaining the significance of your Patreon and pin it. This way, those who are able to contribute can be informed about your Patreon.

In 1931 even

The wierd music soundeffects (for example when superman appears) can be left out in my opinion ;)

That guy only ran 10 steps before Detonating the dynamite

❤❤

16:35 - It took 6 years to fill Lake Mead, so viewers couldn't see the huge reservoirs of water after just one month.

Love your videos, but pls leave out the music

Nice collab between DC and marvel 😂

Ehm, excuse me! Is this a God dam?

Not stated here is 5 companies pulled this out and did it all. I got to meet with the Son of one of these men and he was something else himself. Now he has Passed. His children live on.

Great video other than the ridiculously loud sound effects and wtf animations.

Confusion about contraction and expansion of concrete, and upstream vs downstream. . .

does anyone know a channel like this but talks about IT?
