The Brits made some trench digging machines during WWII (the idea was brought up already in WWI) but none was used in combat. Don't think they worked very well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultivator_No._6
Hello I'm a degree holder and a welder in ghana and I want to learn welding and upgrade myself in Canada cos I've heard they have quality education for welders
😂😂😂😂.. man I'm from SA. Here that's considered a VERY good JOB. instead of chore. The mindset in this country is more crippling than the economy. However I wouldn't mind for your job although it actually a chore like u say 😅❤
I operate a trencor 1460 I can't imagine changing teeth on this thing it would be a 3 man job one to spin the chain and two down at the end changing teeth
@@ivarsodins9959No it won't, because grids don't work that way. It is interconnected and there are three of them. Tons of large machines run off electricity. In fact one as that make this look tiny do. Don't know much about large machines do you?
All those big machines have multiple wiring literally as thick as you physically. The amount of power this will need to do its job will require multiple multi inch thick cables to power it measuring HUNDERDS of feet to the nears specially set up sub station. Also most of those machines you thinking off are either stationary, as in bever move. Or stay withing the same 4 mile square with bothing being a pain to move. This thing needs to dig a dozen miles in a direction while running. Its simply not feasible to grid power it. While batteries will only run it for bout 4 hours with 8 hours of charge. Instead of 8 hours on diesel and 15 minutes to full up. The tech is not there yet for battery powering certain things, these are among them.
From at least 4 different manufacturers. Saw a Trencor, Vermeer, Tesmic and Jetco in that video. I’m surprised there wasn’t a Capitol thrown in there for good measure. It’s big but definitely not the biggest.
Archaeologists will have their work cut out in 500 years. The planet is becoming overrun with infrastructure and things and waste. In 1000 years it seeks as if there will hardly a patch of land in the planet that isn’t spoiled or with disturbed soils and no natural layers etc.
Archeologists study pre historic things. Basically, things that came before we started keeping records of things. But now that we record history, they won't study us in the future since it's recorded and they'll know exactly what we did.
I work as operator in this another type of machine ( trencor T1460) around 5 years in limestone mining. It really powerfull but not efficient for fuel and maintenance cost. The weakness is sticky soil, dont ever cut sticky soil with this machine
In Egypt there is an older trench in the desert. They did have a big trench far before we got here. This trench is about 12000 years old. I'm A Whistleblower.
It's a diesel, so 300hp, but 2000ft lbs of torque. You never look at the hp of a diesel motor, because it means basically nothing. Hp is how fast you can hit the wall, Torque is how far you bring the wall with you once you hit it.
@@DanoFSmith-yc9tgalso, torque is a characteristic depending mostly on the transmission rather than the engine. Gearbox's main purpose is to trade speed for torque and vise versa
Probably not as much as it would cost to dig those trenches with other equipment, this behemoth can only do one thing, but it's extremely effective and efficient at doing it.
1600 horsepower, that"s about 1200 kilowatts, and at 25% efficiency that's gonna need four times that amount in diesel fuel power which is 10 kwh per liter, so 4800 ÷ 10, which is about 480 liters per hour at full throttle. There is no road tax on construction and farm diesel, so it's probaby costing at a bare minimum $400 US per hour in fuel, or $960.00 CAN per hour in Canada.
America still makes some of the greatest machines on earth. I am currently restoring a 1959 Willys and every bolt and part is built local. The wiper motor is Trico like the starter and ignition are Autolite Toledo Ohio like the Jeep itself. Bring back our country!USA 🇺🇸
When the US starts making vehicles that are simple, cheap, reliable, and easy to fix again, I'll be the first in line. As it stands, my 1994 Dodge is the newest car I'll probably ever buy. Modern automobiles are absolute garbage, no matter who's making them!
American products start out great, but the quality often goes down the drain when the suits come in to maximize profits. Therefor I prefer Japanse and German engineering, quality is rooted in their culture.
The bucket wheel use pipeline in canada by oj pipelines was one first come out trencor factory huge machine big job move one to other.the machine dig up hard rock,frozen musket,sand farm field all western canada and ontario pay himself many time over.one drawback when broke down invoice for repairs is huge because I work on it couple time not cheap.thanks video😊
I do believe the ancients has some kind of mechanism like this, whether be water powered or what because all the quarry sites at every megalithic site all over the world have crazy markings that are consistent
