Engineering Connections: Burj Al Arab Hotel (Richard Hammond) | Science Documentary 

The most interesting way possible is subjective. I got bored in the first 7 minutes

you all prolly dont care but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tips you can offer me.

@Tyson Leonidas instablaster ;)

@Lawrence Brett i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Lawrence Brett it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

It'll buff out

😂😂😂

Oh James will buy some more

CLARKSOOOOOOOONNNN!!!!!

I just wish the "water tap" analogy was used to further demonstrate how capacitors can "smooth" electrical signals. A tap being turned fully on and off rapidly - but filling a bucket with a small hole at the bottom would be a prime example for a student. The water slowly and steadily leaking from the bottom of the bucket would be in stark contrast to the frantic tap water.

So stupid , if he really expected a ton of water to deflect off that glass ,, never hearf of foot lbs psi

The funny part of the whole thing if you watch The slow Mo replay the water doesn't even break it, the glass was broke before the water really even got there, all that det cord that's what broke the glass LOL. Plus The Det cord shot the water up, all they had to do was put a quick release on the bottom of that bag and have the water fall it would've shattered that glass easy as pie LoL

haha its coz its expensive

A professional is screwed if he loses his tools. He made the right call...

We all watch the same stuff lol

ADAM (PBUH), THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH, LIVED 5,800 YEARS AGO As per the genealogy of Jesus Christ given in the Bible, from Jesus through Abraham (pbuh) to the first man on earth i.e. Adam (pbuh), Adam appeared on the earth approximately 5800 years ago: 1948 years between Adam (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh) Approximately 1800 years between Abraham (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) 2000 years from Jesus (pbuh) till today These figures are further confused by the fact that the Jewish calendar is currently on or about 5800 years old. There is sufficient evidence from archaeological and anthropological sources to suggest that the first human being on earth was present tens of thousands of years ago and not merely 5,800 years ago as is suggested by the Bible. The Qur’an too speaks about Adam (pbuh) as the first man on earth but it does not suggest any date or period of his life on earth, unlike the Bible - what the Bible says in this regard is totally incompatible with science. 12. NOAH (PBUH) AND THE FLOOD The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C. This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water. In contrast to this, the Qur’anic presentation of the story of Noah and the flood does not conflict with scientific evidence or archaeological data; firstly, the Qur’an does not indicate any specific date or year of the occurance of that event, and secondly, according to the Qur’an the flood was not a universal phenomenon which destroyed complete life on earth. In fact the Qur’an specifically mentions that the flood was a localised event only involving the people of Noah. It is illogical to assume that Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) had borrowed the story of the flood from the Bible and corrected the mistakes before mentioning it in the Qur’an. 13. MOSES (PBUH) AND PHARAOH OF THE EXODUS The story of Moses (pbuh) and the Pharaoh of the Exodus are very much identical in the Qur’an and the Bible. Both scriptures agree that the Pharaoh drowned when he tried to pursue Moses (pbuh) and led the Israelites across a stretch of water that they crossed. The Qur’an gives an additional piece of information in Surah Yunus chapter 10 verse 92: "This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!" [Al-Qur’an 10:92] Dr. Maurice Bucaille, after a thorough research proved that although Rameses II was known to have persecuted the Israelites as per the Bible, he actually died while Moses (pbuh) was taking refuge in Median. Rameses II’s son Merneptah who succeeded him as Pharaoh drowned during the exodus. In 1898, the mummified body of Merneptah was found in the valley of Kings in Egypt. In 1975, Dr. Maurice Bucaille with other doctors received permission to examine the Mummy of Merneptah, the findings of which proved that Merneptah probably died from drowning or a violent shock which immediately preceeded the moment of drowning. Thus the Qur’anic verse that we shall save his body as a sign, has been fulfilled by the Pharaohs’ body being kept at the Royal Mummies room in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This verse of the Qur’an compelled Dr. Maurice Bucaille, who was a Christian then, to study the Qur’an. He later wrote a book ‘The Bible, the Qur’an and Science’, and confessed that the author of the Qur’an can be no one else besides God Himself. Thus he embraced Islam. 14. QUR’AN IS A BOOK FROM ALLAH These evidences are sufficient to conclude that the Qur’an was not copied from the Bible, but that the Qur’an is the Furqaan - ‘the Criteria’ to judge right from wrong and it should be used to decipher which portion of the Bible may be considered as the Word of God. The Qur’an itself testifies in Surah Sajda chapter 32 verse 1 to 3 Alif Laam Meem. (This is) the revelation of the Book in which there is no doubt - from the Lord of the Worlds. Or do they say, ‘He has forged it’? Nay, it is the Truth from thy Lord, that thou mayest admonish a people to whom no warner has come before thee: in order that they may receive guidance." [Al-Qur’an 32:1-3]

i know you are not stewart lee in disguise

It is real

Lol

That was funny as hell.

Sounds expensive, when you have a zillion of them. Though since the switch only has 4 different levels, I wonder if they could have centralized converters and run 4 different wires for lighting

Where is James may? :D

All the more reason why he should have been sitting in the cockpit. Plus he flew a military helicopter in a Top Gear episode.

Shame most of Dubhi is built by human slavery

@@rossco5409 Were the hell is Dubhi? Lol.

Nice and how long was the flight

@@danielduarte1574 15 hours non-stop from Houston, then 16 on the return.

Should have gone in Winter. Even better and the best weather!

Gerrod Allen how much is it for the entire trip?

If you look at the prices per night, we have a word in our country, it's a financial engineering wonder, too. 😂😂😂

Exactly! As Civil engineers, we have several different ways we can contribute to the construction of a structure.

🤣

😂😂😂😂

yeah for a second i thought its gonna be burj.. was wondering hes busy with grand tour series now, how come hes still doing documentaries.. realised its old af

I'm the opposite, only here cuz Richard makes these interesting as hell

They use a lot of top gear music. At the end of the gas super tanker video for example

How much did you pay for the afternoon tea?

@@JenutTNI believe the cost was roughly AED 250 per person (pax). It's pretty expensive but you do get a multi-course meal and as many teas as you'd like to sample. So it's kind of a pay-one-price get whatever, type of lunch. In my opinion it was all very tasty so very worth the price because well, every thing else in that building is far more expensive than that!

@@TheRealLink Thank you. Can have dinner for few days in Dubai for that amount of money. But worth to try it once in a while

@@JenutTN Oh for sure. If you're there for a long time or local, yeah, easily the price of several meals probably. But as I was on vacation with my Mom for a (generally) once in a lifetime kind of thing, I felt it necessary to do lots of cool things. Totally worth it if you can afford it. The desert safaris also generally cost close to that price as well by the way but also such a good experience.

Thanks.

@Syed Shuvo ,Architects only visualize how the building will look; engineers scratch their heads as to how the building will actually come to life

@Syed Shuvo When you google burj al arab or any other famous building, you'll see the name of the architect because people only see the exterior and external appearance of a structure; if they had witnessed the construction process first hand, they'd realize that the architect did just 10℅ of the work. You won't find the engineer's name on a building because engineering is a science, not an art like architecture. Architecture is about drawing and conceptualization of a structure, eg how tall it will be, how many rooms it will have , exterior facade etc. Architects don't do structural design ( i don't know where you got that), structural engineers do. Structural design is about designing members that will safely carry the structure and all its loads, throughout its design life. It's science and math, not about personal recognition

@Syed Shuvo Architects have existed for as long as humans developed interest in art; it's only because of recent developments in science and engineering that a structure like Burj al arab or Burj Khalifa exists

@Syed Shuvo Your long reply just proves my point more; architecture is more abstract, more artistic and more fantasy oriented. Engineering is cold hard science; engineers don't care about how a building looks, feels etc, it's about the application of scientific and mathematical principles to enable the actualization of architectural conceptions. Architecture and civil engineering are two distinct sides of the same coin; very different yet interdependent. You should also know that civil engineering is very wide and is not only about buildings: it involves roads, railways, bridges, aqueducts, pipelines, fluid mechanics, foundation engineering among many others, all of which make our lives better every day

well.. just use led and DC power, with PWM signal, solved :D

@@Ecne3D Ya George is stuck in the 90s... Also, looks like the research team for this doc got that part wrong. The lights are all LEDs, and PWM is all the "magic" behind dimming those lights

And no safety Glasses for the waving water

Not as mutch as you think

but it was worth it. XD

🤣🤣😂😂

“Congratulations”

Well, if you look carefully you just might see the private island surrounded by strange concrete blocks...

@@13minutestomidnight if u notice closely, ull realise that the private island means its still standing on sand like every other building in dubai and not hovering in the air or smth. Yes some of the things mentioned in the video r specific for this building. However, most of the things can be applied to literally any modern building in dubai

Well do any other buildings in Dubai have the need for an airlock? Maybe that's unique to it.

Exactly ! Same as you, this "big question" causes me bad sleep and nightmares every night. It would have been even worse if you were able to talk to those people and listen to their stories.......

None

Unfortunately engineering can’t answer that

Much more likely to just rupture and leak.

Ancient invention.
