Explored an incredible power station with an astonishing lab | ABANDONED 

same elena off bald n bankrupt vids? lol

@@RootsLion Nope :)

Can anyone translate the poem about the Trabant at @19:53 ?

Yes, she will be in more upcoming episodes ! She's badass :)

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Is there any tricks of the trade to get in? Like hiking to the hardest most unlikely part by default ? Or do you just wing it ?

Oo thanks! I do my best to keep them coming every week😌 I am just back on the shore from paddling to an abandoned ship😂

Thanks as always Matt!!!😇😁 In this whole Hungary series we will explore pristine places and in some even a lot of artifacts left😁Just explored another cool warship yesterday and today.

O, The turbines in the Underground power station we explored earlier had these too I believe! Well spotted

i saw lots of carbon brush sets !

Yeah, haha so many spare parts there. Thanks for checking out ! :)

Oooo interesting! 🤩

Thanks a lot! I do my best

I wonder the same Linda! Thanks a lot for always checking out :)

Appreciated Anthony 🙏 spread the word!

Haha she does! It was a very nice explore. A shame it has very low views. Elaina is amazing! We wanted to go on a trip this summer , but prices went through the roof so we couldn’t find an affordable trip. Hope to go in a few months :) Did you see any other of the Hungary episodes?

Thanks a lot for checking out :) Did you see some other episodes already?

Dank je wel Sjaak! Volgende aflevering is een gave communicatie bunker :)

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath kan niet wachten 👍

Thanks as always Brenda :) Next one is a cool Hungarian communication bunker!

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath Excited for that! Bunkers are always cool!

Yes she’s amazing indeed. A badass chick

Thanks JS, one day I'll find the answer.

Yes, it's exceptional !

That's right, water is very important in steam plants. Water samples are taken once a day and analyzed. The water is treated with various chemicals because in the case of "unclean" water, the consequences on the steam turbine are enormous.

Water quality is critical but that doesn't necessarily require an entire complex. That job is usually accomplished by a much smaller lab. This plant, Banhida, originally used low grade coal from a nearby mine. It had a pretty good run - construction began in 1929 and it opened in 1935, closing in 2004. Looks like the last major overhaul was in the 1960s, so that equipment must have quite a few hours on it! I suspect they were performing tests on much more than the primary water. At 34:10 they come across some jars with dry samples in them. At least one of them appears to contain ash. Others look like flakes of creosote, some just look like lignite coal. Since this plant was upgraded a number of much more modern and clean gas and oil plants were built in and around Budapest. I don't know what this plant might have been fitted with but Hungary's largest coal power plant, Mátra, was equipped with flue gas desulphurization in 2000. Lignite coal is one of the worst for sulphur content and sulphuric acid not only is an pollutant around the area but quickly corrodes the internals of the boiler and flue gas system. I'm guessing that the lab was monitoring conditions of various parts of the plant as it aged, analyzing the chemistry within the boiler and stack, as well as the fuel itself.

Thanks for checking out!

Glad you liked it Josh. Most impressive ones are the US ones. They're old and massive. Only the control rooms are better in Europe.

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I enjoy your productions, but since I work as a consultant in the US power industry, please take this caution. In spite of the antics you've seen the Proper People get away with in US power plants, please do know that for any US facility with security equaling what you saw at this Hungary plant, it is potentially classified as critical infrastructure even though it is not in operation. If you, as a foreign national on a travel visa, ever got caught taking unauthorized photos or drone footage inside a secure area, you might be suspected of terror or espionage. Best case scenario: you spend a couple days in an interview room with the FBI and/or CIA, lose your photo and video equipment to an opaque federal evidence procedure, and possibly have your visa suspended just prior to being deposited at the nearest embassy or consulate for repatriation. If they decide they really don't like you for some reason -- for example, your passport includes stamps from fromer Eastern Bloc countries -- you'll wish you were back to dealing with the Italians. Anyway, keep up the good work, but stay safe!

@@aaronvienot Thanks for your concerns Aaron, I have been exploring old power stations in the US since 2015 and documented a lot of them. (99% of those I don't publish on my channel.) We always take care and never have been in trouble.

What kind of photographer are you Gary?

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath History photographs mostly, no video.

Thanks mate!

Thanks for checking out

You just have to be there before the vandals and copperthieves arrive. This place is guarded pretty well.

I gess it will not happen, I noticed on old pictures of mine they demolished the coal conveyors and some other buildings there.

Appreciated a lot my mate 🙏😁

Thanks for checking! And who knowsss👀👀👀

Yes, lucky us 🍀

Oh? She seems to be smiling all the time! Link please :)

Thanks! You should see all stuff I can't upload :)

Cool! Check the episode coming up sunday😊👀 A really nice bunker!

Thanks a million for checking out🤞☺️

Thanks András, we have an episode of this place online also. I think it’s gone by now or empty inside

Thanks Sam! A cool Hungrian communication bunker is coming up this Sunday!

Thanks man! Maybe they provided some services for nearby industrial factories.

I wouldn't agree. I think all chemicals are for treating water, testing water samples and also steam samples. Because, for a steam plant, water is extremely important.

yeah they could have made a wicked moonshine still out of it

Thanks a million Bruno!

Thanks a lot again Anna😎😇

Thanks again Scott! It was a cool one and the next episodes are going to be cool too!😇

Can't wait dude

Yeah, you have to be right on time. All places turn to 💩

Thanks mate, she will be in more episodes this series! :)

Sorry to hear mate😔😔😔 We were very lucky the first time. And yeah I can imagine🥺

@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath In the Netherlands, Harlingen there was this abandoned shipyard. I'd been walking passed the fences a few times to scout it out did not see or hear any dogs. Hopped the fence and within seconds a German Shepherd came sprinting out of seemingly nowhere. I tried jumping the fence again but before I was over the dog got my leg. They are remarkably strong the dog pulled me back to the ground. Started mauling my leg and back it had me pinned for a good few minutes. Adrenaline kicked in and I went full survival mode. I don't know how but somehow I managed to pull myself up and over the fence. Adrenaline still pumping when I arrived at the doctor. I believe I ended up with around 50 stitches. Mostly upper leg and my back. Lesson learned, always make noise before hopping the fence to see if something comes running towards you

yes - there needs to be more explores in Hungary

Thanks Gilles, I need to dig more into Hungary 4 or 5 more episodes are coming up from Hungary!
