You make the best dam TH-cam videos!
Hello I seen your Vines
NO CUSSING ON THE CHRISTIAN MINECRAFT SERVER
I was the third like
I’m happy
Nonono. That was a pun
Y'all male good videos also
The best part of these videos is that the kid really enjoys the time spent with his dad. When he's older he too can share the adventures with his kids.
What inside Area 51?
that's how it works
Gl getting in there :D
Thats not a bad idea
Yes...
Avengers 4 plot-twist.
That was a cool video. Several years ago I visited the Hoover dam and was able to go into the generator room but not down to the floor. If anyone hasn't been there they are truly missing one of the MOST amazing structures ever made by man. It will blow your mind how big that room is. Just think of the imagination, design skill, engineering and pure manpower it took to create the dam.
this is the generator that generates power for the whole dam structure.
I’m reporting the comment
Skroggy !!!! Why?
Lol
@@rhysperrett Because sky is very high.
You got me there buckeroo
So much work especially back then!! I’m amazed how they built stuff like this and the going to the sun road in Glacier National Park!
Smart Easy DIY I tough the same. With those old equipment and they built it. Its just stunning
go inside Area 51
Yes pls.. i really want to know what is in it T_T..
haha same thought...
Someone i met flew a drone over it. HE saw a couple of fighter jets. One he heard of but never actually seen. It was still a classified jet. I've done so many things while living in Vegas.
Ha ha
Currently, Area 51 isn't much more than a toxic waste dump.
I love the 1930's art deco sensibility.
As someone born in West Allis and planning to visit Hoover Dam in May, I was absolutely floored to see the Allis-Chalmers plaque next to the original turbines! What an awesome piece of history trivia I didn't expect.
Incredible look inside, thanks guys

What's cool about those copper statues is, there is a star map that they are built on and it shows the Hoover dam completion date lined up with the stars.
You basically went on the exact same tour the general public went on back in the late 1960’s, and yes, we could look out the vents about halfway back up. Back then they called it Boulder Dam, the other buildings on top besides the two elevator towers, are 2 two story public restrooms. If memory serves, there is a great view from the upper level. This brought back great memories for me.
That would have been nice. I guess back when the public could he trusted better.
It has been called Hoover Dam for a long time though.
This is true, I was there in 1966 and we went into all if these spots. Below the penstock. We actually parked on the road back then. I guess they don't allow that anymore.
Actually when I was in the boy scouts this tour was available in the late 90s, I was told 9/11 is what changed the dam tours.
I visited the damn, Dam back in 1970! My family and I took a 30 day vacation of the US. Been a while, but it brought back great vacation memories, so thank you! 😃
how was it seeing the ncr and legion fight up close?
Thank you for doing this video. I took a tour of the Hoover Dam with my father some 40+ years ago. Not much has changed from what we saw but it was fascinating to see the "behind" the dam areas. My father is no longer with us now, but watching your video brought back a lot of fond memories. Thanks!
Am I the only one who was thinking about Transformers all the time?
noop
Muhammad Tahir Aslam dude i couldn’t stop thinking about transformers
hah hah me too... if you mean the electric ones not the cartoon
No
Absolutely
Man, well that damn 🤯collapse really freaked me out
me too
Meh.. Nah
The movie sence is from San Andreas
Got me for a split second
"Dam"
Enjoyed your tour of the dam very much! Years ago, while on a business trip, my hubby and I stopped at the dam and took the tour. It was so interesting and you just brought back some really nice memories of that trip! Thanks guys!
Try to see more of Mount Rushmore
0:52 scared me my heart jumped when the dam cracked I thought it was real for a second
Lol same
Guess ya'll have never seen that movie.
I've seen Hoover Dam, the Washington monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty, The Empire State building, Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon, Mount Whitney, Mt St. Helen's ,Mount Hood, the Petrified National Forest, and Plymouth Rock. Anyway, that's all I can think of since you asked.
I've seen the Taotaomo'na in the jungles of Guam 😆, and I've met sgt. shoichi Yokoi in Guam- he was a japanese ww2 soldier holdout they found living in the jungle after the war- he was found in 1972- still thought the war was on. I met him when he revisited Guam in 86.
I am amazed by the network of tunnels and all of the massive machinery inside. The thing is when you see footage of the dam being constructed it looks very much like it is solid from base to top? Obviously the amount of planning and thought all of the way through the project was immense. Would love to see some of the finer detail like that and the way they went about it. Thankyou guys for the insight to this engineering marvel.
Whats inside the Eiffel Tower?
French people
@@Cheeseboardv lol
If you go on to there family channel the 2 of the family members went on a trip to France to see the Eiffel Tower
A lot of metal.
Wait, because you hearted it does that mean that you're going to do it, what's inside
9:10 "That's the old passage to Ravenholm. We don't go there anymore."

AWESOME TOUR! Lincoln. Thanks for taking us there & showing us what's inside! So glad you didn't get lost or fall or still trying to get out!
This was an awesome inside look, thanks for the video!!
Hahahahhaah I just saw something very ugly! I looked in the mirror! But I am the best TH-camr of this generation so it is all good! Thanks for you attention dear vcg
At this time in the video 0:50 I really thought the damn exploded they edit it it perfectly I got scared for a second 😂🤣🤣🤣
Same
Dam* damn is the bad word
Same
Its not an edit its from a movie.
This shot is from an apocalyptic Movie
This video truly was amazing I’ve never seen a better Dan video it’s crazy how much more i learned. I only knew a tad of what you showed me so awesome.
Go see inside the Boeing Factory! The biggest building by volume and the assembly line primeraly for the 777, 747 and 787.

I took the Dam Hardhat tour when it was just being rolled out, the details of the hoover dam are simply amazing. All of the hardware is monel so it won't corrode and designed to last more than 100 years with daily use, simple things like door latches and hinges, and all the inlay for the terrazzo floors
When I was his age I would have flipped out to be inside the dam.Thanks for showing us!!!
Gonna try the whole spitting off thing in the future now
My brother did it, its like a ten second fall
What's Inside Mt Rushmore
They did it now
Special access? Saw all of this in 1986 on a regular tour.
May be another thing ruined by post-9/11 "security."
A lot's changed since the good old 1980s
The open turbine you saw was "JUST" for the service power (as you said), those types are called Pelton turbines, while the actual operating turbines are Francis turbines (which are more efficient if the height is substantial), and those have different blade formations.
Just a little fun fact.
and those are not generators, but turbines.
I thought they gonna cut the hoover dam into half
*DISAPPOINTED*
Me too☹️☹️
I wish that would have distracted capitalists from our master plan to nuke them. You saw nothing here
No dont do it
You are dumb
@the old one mills kids like you these days can’t get a joke...
Though they was hiding megatron in there
Manman same
Nah its just NCR rangers
This reminds me of Fallout: New Vegas...a dam good game
“We will see how brave you are when your nailed to the walls of Hoover dam your body facing west so you may watch your world die”

I used to have an old viewfinder that had a disc of the Hoover Dam. It's so cool to see it in depth like this. Awesome video!
This reminded me of a mission in GTA San Andreas
badr ait abdi same
Same, the blow up mission. I completed that game on my phone Yeet
Dad : Turbine or Turbin ?
Son : Dustbin .
You're both wrong, it's turban. Stick it on your head if you don't like it.
Recycle bin
Excellent video. When I lived In Las Vegas I toured the Hoover Dam several times. It is a very impressive structure. I am glad you were able to show us the areas most do not get to see.
I never knew the generators themselves were made in Quebec Canada. Interesting
Not very interesting to be honest but yeah, I guess they were
I been there many times.....(In fallout game :D ) Great video :)
Those turbines are a great way to turn some Legionaries into mincemeat.
Battle for Hoover dam!!!
Eureka!!!!
was thinking the same lol

What's inside a nuclear reactor ?
Yeah, umm, no, let's NOT do that!
e4r there’s one in France they could visit
The science reactor at MIT they can sort out a tour there!
Magic happens inside
I'm afraid that's classified
Oh my God I freaked out when I saw Lincoln's beam shirt That's amazing! I would kill for one of those. Nice
I remember going in those areas as part of the public tour when I was in grade school. Last time I visited it, I was told that since 9/11 all of that has stop.
you can take a tour, but it leaves out 90% of what you see in this video
Im not even at the dam and i still got scared of how big it is
HA see the three gorges dam
Imagin a fire in that MASSIVE place!
Me tooi got scared them going down that damn elevator!!! Lol

No physical magnets involved making electric power... Rotating magnetic fields is how they work, whether it be hydro, Fossil fuel, or nuclear.. large rotating generators work on the same principal
I'm sorry, Hal 9000, but you are mistaken about the no physical magnets part of your statement; there are many different generators that use permanent magnets and all others use electro-magnets to spin a magnetic field.
@@battleshipnewjerseysailor4738 maybe in small generators like for home use but not in large industrial generators there are no magnets.. and what is a large industrial generators I mean something in the order of 50 megawatts to 1250 megawatts... I'm a plant equipment operator, I've been a control operator for a 650 megawatt combined cycle plant, a diesel generator operator in the US Navy along with being a gas turbine systems mechanic in the US Navy, and now I operate hydropower plants... And in all that time spent in my particular line of work I have never scene a large industrial generator that uses permanent magnets.... Every single one of them have used electromagnets to create that rotating magnetic field lines of flux...
@@leskobrandon538 true, PMSG's are quite hard to regulate. Unlike the ones you quoted.
Since i am a person whom is very interested in hydrogoly and water, this is by far the best in-depth video I've seen of the Hoover dam, ever. I'll defnitely keep a heads up on any more vids! A really good, well planned and an over all fantastic video! Keep up the good work!
5:51, waited his whole life to say that one joke...
and it was so freaking good.
The legion and NCR
Obviously the ncr

Anytime other than summer is ideal to visit the presidentially eponymous Hoover Dam because it's within the Mojave Desert.
Very cool, Getting the behind the scenes views are the best. Amazing they thought of all those passage ways and piping way back when they built that.
If I spit water on my mom like that I would get slapped.
Disappointed you didnt cut the turbine in half
The turbin
I have watched and will continue to search for, every video, old construction pictures, writings, about this and the other large dams here and abroad. But never have I seen the inside of Hoover Dam. I live on the east coast and getting older where I may never travel to see them. Thank you for making this your mission and sharing. I am sure many others are happy you have as well. I'll be looking forward to seeing your next videos. Good luck, stay safe. ;)
You are a good Dad, and your son is a good son. Our world needs more people such as you. Thanks for the amazing vid..

Looks like inside the Hoover Dam is some dam cool stuff.
They have a machine for maintaining the turbines; what do they use to maintain the machine?
What do they use to keep the place clean? Hoover vacs?
Been to the dam 4 times and I’d go back again! Driving over the highway there is pretty intense also!
Yeah, I know what is inside. I was there once, I did an explosive mission of GTA SA :)
This is the best what’s inside I’ve seen so far keep up the good work😋

when I took this assignment I was hoping there'd be more gambling

We won't go quietly. The Legion can count on that
Its been a long tour all i can think about now is going back home
The Strip's all stirred up lately
This is too 😎
This felt like I was actually there as well , Thank you for sharing your experience with Us all on here on TH-cam ! ☺️😁
Oh snap. I was just at the Hoover Dam last Saturday with my wife, and dang, to think that there is so much more to do than what we can see from the surface is truly mind boggling. You guys truly had an awesome experience in being able to explore so much more than others do. I can imagine it gave a much deeper respect for the dam and all of the work that went into building it, and what all it does.
It depends on which dam tour you take.
Cool

Thank you for this lovely video. This is once in a lifetime opportunity to see such a huge establishment.
I took the tour when it went everywhere. We saw everything you show here, and more. We descended (descended and descended) in a narrow stairway. At one point we walked down the top of that 30' diameter water pipe. We could feel the water rushing through it.
This is really interesting, thanks for doing this video and sharing it with us! A number of years ago, I got to spend a night on Alcatraz, and with my group I got to go on an awesome tour of the island and the prison, covering the normal areas but we also went to a bunch of other places that most people don't get to see like the gun galleries (elevated walkways where the guards could watch the prisoners), the guard recreation room, the lighthouse, and other places. It would be really cool if you guys could arrange to do a video there!
You Are One Of My Favorite Channels!
You Are Really Entertaining and you have amzing ideas!
That giant machine that they "shave" the turbines on is a Vertical Turret Lathe. I was surprised to see they have one on site but it makes sense. I can't imagine the logistical challenge of moving one of those turbines around.
Fantastic video, great job was there many years ago, very informative well done keep up the excellent work...
It´s just the Transformers feeling, which makes it so impressive! lol
i love you whats inside!!!
Thank you. I visited Hoover dam, but missed the details. Lincoln made this interesting like a movie.
awesome tour! We took the powerhouse tour, just to the generator room.............. My interest in that tour was because I worked on the Oroville Dam in 1967 as a welder and welded their penstock components together underneath those generators which is called a squirrel cage. Looking forward for your next video.
Why did I get scared 0:52 lol
I did too
Same
Yep
Same 🥶😭😂
Lol same I was like wt u better run
THERES A PYRAMID UNDER IT
Remember that movie????
Thank you for doing the walking for us! 😊
That was totally cool.
Thanks for the tour!
So where are the Transformers? I didn't see Megatron anywhere.
Stephen Caine lol your funny, I like the transformers I disliked the vid, jk
Dude I was looking for a transformers comment
Wasn't it the allspark in the dam? Not Megatron?
Seth Fjeldheim it was both
Seth Fjeldheim it was both there was the all spark and negation was frozen there
What inside the Statue of Liberty
Concrete
A heart that is beating
Tyce and Londyn stairs of concrete
I agree lets see the statue of liberty 🗽
The rooms where the giant pipes that feed the entire facility remind me of Disney's "The Black Hole". Pretty cool.
the entire video I was thinking about Transformers and how Megatron and the all-spark were kept in the dam because the concrete blocked there signal!! Loved the video would love to clime on top of that Pin-stock LOL
I just keep thinking of National Lampoons Vegas Vacation haha
You should go inside the sealed rooms of red fort in new delhi,india
sambhav jain what is that?
@@DTXjuggin its a very famous fort in india and has a great history but mainly all rooms are locked by the department. So billions of people are keanad to know that whats inside it
sambhav jain oh okay thanks
Same thing with the Taj Mahal.
Welcome to another episode of videos I watch when I have to wake up in
3:59 The exposed generator is nearly identical to your common house fan. Ironic, that the giant generator which supplies electricity to your appliances with motors such as a hair dryer, blender, kitchen mixer, heating/cooling fan is mostly identical except for its size. The thing that makes electricity is just like the thing that uses the electricity.
It is a Tur-Bine btw not Turban was funny with the pictures you used though 🤣
If you somehow got permission to get inside Fort Knox that would be cool
A bunch of empty rooms.... Lol
Thank you. You make a complex subject simple and great for kids. Penstocks are mindblowing!! thanks from England.
10:31. Best part of the video 😂
5:15 Supra guys be like: DAM found myself some new Driveshaft....
I didn't see the containment unit where they kept Megatron
They keep him at Universal studios now! 😅
WOW this was awesome guys, thankyou so much 4 sharing , really interesting.
Peace out, from New Zealand.
You have no idea how the generators and spillway work yet say it so confidentiality, amazing.
