Congratulations!! I am not an engineer, but I am interested in some aspects. Kariba Dam is the largest man-made dam (185 km3 of water). It is almost five times bigger than the Chinese Three Gorges Dam (38 km3). However, the Three-Gorges Dam has an installed capacity of 22,500 MW compared to Kariba's 1,626 MW (with the Zambia side). Is the difference only in terms of number turbines, Kariba has 14 compared to 34 and their capacity? What is the maximum that can be harnessed from Kariba, if financial resources were available (a simple matchbox calculation says 110,000 MW)?
Nice video. Another magnificent legacy of colonialism. Like the Victoria Waterfalls bridge. Btw, the Iguazu Waterfall is wider than the Victoria and has a much higher maximum flow rate. As for height, there are dozens if not hundreds that are higher. (I was a young boy when I visited the Kariba before it had even been filled for the first time and have visited Victoria several times.)
