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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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! 😃
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.
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.
The actual factory doesn’t let people film normally. I was there a month ago. They’re like super adamant about it. But who knows, they might make an exception for this one channel?
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?
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. ;)
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!
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.
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.
@@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
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...
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.
Do they no longer do the hard hat tour regularly anymore? I went their as a kid that was pre 9/11 though pretty much got the same tour with exception of their machine with that massive rotary milling machine.
Amazing! to the extent the Human goes to divert the Main Energy Source ' The Sea' - not only does it create Free Energy by its Waves but it also Heals the Human on All Levels - time to tap into that Energy Source Now - and so it is - Blessings.
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
more likely they were paid or given free hotel/airfare. influencers are given stuff to promote destinations. hoover dam is a tourist destination and makes money for the local economy.
Well we visited every national Park in Utah which is a lot, and we visited the Hoover dam, we have also visited Yellowstone, We have also visited goblin Valley,
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!
2:18 "Two million watts of energy a year?" Was that suppose to be Mega Watts? 2 million watts a year might run a bunch of refrigerator light bulbs at best.

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.

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.
