Hi Edgar, super cool danke für das neue Video, total faszinierend dies zu sehen. Bitte immer wieder mal sowas posten, solche Aufnahmen sind extrem selten, eigentlich einzigartig 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Incredible videos! I’m a pretty fearless guy; jumped out of perfectly good airplanes (skydiving), scuba diver, fire-fighter,er-nurse…but just watching your videos scare the sh!t out of me. I am fascinated and terrified at the same time. How man can build such vast, incredibly complex and powerful machines is mind-boggling to me. You get sucked into a penstock, they wouldn’t know you where gone.
I know I already commented but how does this work. I water from the pressure tunnel comes in through the top and down through the suction tube? I a bit confused what the ball valves and pumps are for? This setup is way more complex compared to anything in my area, a sample Dam with a turbine built inside it, the Turbine throttle valve station at the rear of the dam at the top with a short pipe down to the turbine and though out the bottom. We don't have any long pipes going from one river to another just a huge lake behind the dam which in-house the Turbine and substation.
This is a pumped storage power plant, in the event of electricity overproduction, the water is pumped from the lower Mapragg compensation lake to the upper Gigerwald reservoir. Greetings from Switzerland.
@@eggaeri So what you're showing us is the lower side of the turbine blade and the return pipeline back to the Gigerwald Reservoir? I have to one day see this in person. I am blown away how your company design this. nothing even close comes near this design where I live.
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999If I am doing my research correct, the water is pumped vertically (I have no idea about the horizontal component) almost 500 meters.
I would love to see this in person so I can better understand how they design this. I find it interesting that the water is forces up through the turbine (I think) in my mind you lose some water pressure, but they have it design different to how we do it here in America. at most our dams are setup with a throttle (gate) then a very short drop down to the turbine we don't do mile long penstocks and surge tank rooms for water hammering, nothing even close.@@lonnyyoung4285
@@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999 It is the suction pipe (Saugrohr) from the Mapragg reservoir, high pressure water from the pumps to Gigerwald goes through the high pressure vertical duct.
