this is the most advanced version of building a city so you can pretend to be a monster/villain and knock it over, and i'm extremely here for it. the destructive power of water is something we all tend to underestimate, and this really does wonders for putting it into perspective.
@@kingandqueenturben8293 model it, then. do the math, see what works. if you have an idea that has the potential to do that much good, you gotta try it out.
It actually surprised me that the tunnel wasn't the weak point! I would have thought that as soon as the water got to it it would've seeped in and caused more issues than it did
There's a good chance if it's running under a town, it's a concrete tunnel like a subway tunnel, so it's gonna be reinforced to withstand the weight above, and the train going through it pushing down on the tracks pulling the walls down too when it passes through. Watching the English French Channel Tunnel get buildt when I was a kid, they talked about all the forces the tunnel had to go through and withstand, it was an amazing engineering feat.
This is a very good demo of what’s happening on the Holderness coastline on the Eastern UK coast. Buildings are at a huge risk and many have already been sacrificed. And it’s accelerating. So, this has a hell of a lot of real life applications.
That tunnel is similar to a cut and cover design and perfectly explains why rectangular section tunnels are not used for intense stresses, instead either a round or arched cross section is used. I'd like to see the effect on an arched design.
Suggestion: PVC or Clay Tube representing train tunnel, with tiny as possible air holes drilled in. Incorporate small pebbles and dirt layers representing some modern city landscapes. You even reuse those bricks because they may be structurally compromised being that they were wet and had to dry. Still keep the ruptured damn theme going and possibly add an old cracked foundation somewhere in there. It sounds a bit complicated but I’m sure it’ll make a great video. Awesome Job As Usual.
@@KingOfDams yea out of all of this the safest place by far should have been the tunnel. I’d suggest using something better then sand aswell. If someone built a you a miniature tunnel you’d see how well they could survive something like this, you also should have pushed and sealed the tunnel towards the glass itself. And a small question. What was at the end of the tunnel. Because if it was just sand no wonder it got compromised.
@@KingOfDams I assume most of the reason the water got into the tunnel was sliding in between the sand and the glass on the side, so a better representation would be to cut a hole in the glass and have the tunnel poke out of the glass. None of the water actually got through the bricks themselves, so i would like to see how the tunnel hold up with a more airtight, 3d, method.
every dam breach experiment is always so satisfying with the outcome, but this one was like the best one just because the underground structure lasted and it leaked through the top
My one big regret with these videos is that the lack of space means you don't really have the option to play around with shallower angles of repose for the dam to prevent sudden collapse early on or layers of different materials to try whole new designs. That being said, I still love these and compose headcanons for all of them. I called this one New Johnstown.
My entire property is made of sand so it's pretty good for experiments like this. I'll build a dam, a little village below, and I'll turn on a hose to watch it all collapse. I'll run it for a few hours and watch as the little river changes course.
Was gonna ask about that- the angle of repose is a lot shallower in real dams. Amso as I understand it, earthen dams use an impervious core, and then earth or sand on top and beside it..
This is a great example of why plants and roots are important for damns and levies. My local town has an artificial lake and they cut all the trees down on the berms. Both of them cracked and they had to drain the lake below them. It's still not fully fixed as far as I'm aware
So true! My region suffered from an incredible deforestation in the span of almost 300 years made by Italian colonizers, and we still suffer from hydrogeological risks to this day because of that, even if we tried to reforestate (we're now the first region in Italy for forest percentage, just a smidge over 50% of its landmass). Mediterranean forests are so hard to restore! But luckily we've seen a slight improvement in terrain erosion, especially on the beaches.
Oh yes ,But imagine if this had been a real disaster like those plastic figures ,No one would have had a chance of getting away with this , Especially those trapped in that railroad tunnel ,I thought at least would have had a chance ,Looking at this model ,I don't think so .🥺
Indeed Stephen. Just look at couple bottom right, despite getting no warnings from the people gawking at the spectactle from atop the dam, they still had lots of time to get to safety, but Plastic Container said "NO!". Sad really
You see an impressive dam engineering project. I see a immersive sandbox😆😊 It is really cool to see. No joke, water erosion is hella dangerous. Its takes out entire areas. Colorado has floods but that's tame compared to our mud slides. Our biggest issues is loggers not being responsible and removing too many trees, which serve as anchors for dirt.
The loss of life and the small community perched on top of the hill was tragic as the dam took over. I hope everybody got out safe and were all rescued. Has the clean up begun?
So glad I finally watched this! That was 100% NOT what I was expecting to see happen! I was sure that when the water reached the tunnel the whole thing would collapse in a catastrophic failure.
I wish the tunnel would have been sealed against the glass better, because it appears that's where most of the water crept in, not from breaching the tunnel itself.
I would love to see you push your limits and try to make a very structurally stable build inside some sand, and try different tests. Like slow water rise, fast water rise, have some of the container be split off and filled with water and then open the wall to cause a tsunami like wave
Sand will move with water moving around in it. The only control measure is to keep the water contained away from the sand. Even rain water would move the sand on the unprotected back side in his example. So containing the sand on both sides of his example would be necessary, yet enough water force could dig the sand out of it's containment hold, possible collapsing the structural wall. Water force and height (pressure) determines any longevity of his scenario. Where movement is possible
Just had to drop in to let you know, as someone that has had to recover vehicles from incidents like this in real life, it is surprising how perfectly it shows what happens to vehicles. Well done, couldn't look away from this the whole time.
I haven’t watched the video yet, but a previous problem I saw it a couple of videos, being very loosely packed sand is clearly fixed. There may not be any anything in between the brick to prevent water from leaking, but I wouldn’t say it is necessary. Judging by the comments, this will be quite interesting. This is very good indeed. Thank you! Edit: I can clearly see what looks to be veins of minerals (in this case it’s obviously just a different kind of sand) and very detailed approach. I am truly impressed that you took the time to do that, and even the water flows through it quicker!
Really neat! Only issue for me was the constantly changing camera. I know other people like it, but I feel like the upper view and in the water didn't really show as much as the side view and felt like I was missing what was happening every time it switched away from side view.
Hey! Had some great ideas: 1: Durability test! Three parallel walls of bricks, spaced a brick’s width apart, with sand between and covering them. Final structure would look similar to: / III \ …However, the main difference is that the bricks go all the way to the bottom. You can also use the dam’s width to build stuff on top: maybe an airport? 2: Instead of building a dam on the short axis of your aquarium, why not try one on the long axis? 3: Two parallel dams: when the first dam fails, the process of collapsing the second begins. 4: You use large stones to break up the water flow… but what if you put some inside of your dam to strengthen it? 5: This one is to improve your setup and allow you to get more space. Instead of using stones to break up the water’s flow, what if you placed a piece of fabric over the end of the tube (like a scrap of an old T-shirt) and secured it on with waterproof tape? That way, you don’t need the stones as a splash shield: the water would simply soak through the fabric, keeping it from splashing. 6: Tutorial video on how to make these. 7: Paper strips as “rebar” for the sand. 8: Build a massive underground complex over the whole base of your tank, with the roof supported by bricks in some places, and sand in others. Cover it all in a thick layer of sand (you can even add a chimney/air shaft to allow water in slightly earlier) so you have maybe half the height of the tank used, then begin to flood the ground above the complex. When the water gets into the complex and eats away at the sand supports, those sections will cave in, eventually either collapsing the whole structure, parts of it, or simply creating an underground flash flood. 8: A small chunk of sodium or a similar element: the higher ones are more explosive, but these ones just produce hydrogen gas (possible fail reason, as if buried it’d likely generate a lot of pressure that could blow your dam apart or at least cripple it.
@@injoymappalmademallorca777 Have a TLDR, compacted as much as I can. 1 - Dam with three parallel brick walls for reinforcement, in a /|||\ shape. 2 - Dam along long axis of the tank instead of the short axis. 3 - Dam in front of a dam. When Dam 1 breaks, Dam 2 would begin to fill. 4 - Dam reinforced by large stones instead of bricks. 5 - Using a scrap of fabric instead of stones to stop the water splashing around. 6 - Dam building tutorial. 7 - Using small strips of paper in a dam to create a similar effect to rebar. 8 - Cover the entire bottom of the tank in a large underground complex. Flood the space above it and see what happens. 9 - Add a chunk of an alkali metal (Li, Na, etc.) inside the dam: these elements react violently with water, and could cripple/collapse the dam with no warning as a result.

Fun to watch :-) Idk if 'realism' is key but you could see shear planes in the sand due to way it was constructed. Not sure if results would differ if the sand was layered then then cut to shape as in real world (erosion/weathering). Also I suspect tunnel is anchored to glass? A weird problem with real submerged tunnels is remarkable amount of upthrust they can generate due to buoyancy. Would be fun to see if an unanchored tunnel would actually lift the village. Appreciate the work put in. :-)
Wow! Love it! When I was a child I used to build citys, houses and buildings to destroy them in similar ways. This video made me remember beautifully times. 😍😍
You should do one similar to this but instead show how water pressure + flow will cause the base to erode out underneath the dam. You could do this by having a float (so as to not fill the "lake" side too full and a sump on the other side to catch any water flowing through and pump it out. Would be interesting to see how with a steady water level how a dam still fails.
1:10 Woah! That was unexpected! The whole dam moved) 6:53 Still strong dam... How is this possible?! 8:00 ...sigh. It was really solid... But water hasn't passed yet! 10:24 Press F) But it was done by high water level, not by dam's weakness. Even with tunnel it was solid enough.
One thing to mention, if that were an actual tunnel, the water would not rise on the bottom anywhere near as fast due to the near unlimited distance for it vs the area that a dam would affect.
There's a LOT of problems in this simulation : dirt doesn't have the same absorption rate of water than sand, it also depend the type of dirt and the vegetation (more tree = more sturdy grounds against water) If a dam were to break it would flood much quicker + it would come as a wave (so there would be an initial impact) Tunnels aren't make of spaced brick, so in reality they are more sturdy and above all really water proof. Still the video make a good entertainment and a lot of efforts have been put in it's making, that i have to congrat you for. But yeah, it's not really realistic. Could be a little realistic for a flood of costal city though.
Until the end I wasn't sure what would happen to the tunnel. I was betting on it collapsing, surprised it didn't, even though damage to the tunnel walls seems severe and probably not worth the effort of repairing it.
I love being a hero and building people lovely stuff, and then destroying it all with water, btw I saw those videos when I was a kid it was fun and funny for some reason

Hey! Had some great ideas:
1: Durability test! Three parallel walls of bricks, spaced a brick’s width apart, with sand between and covering them. Final structure would look similar to:

…However, the main difference is that the bricks go all the way to the bottom. You can also use the dam’s width to build stuff on top: maybe an airport?
2: Instead of building a dam on the short axis of your aquarium, why not try one on the long axis?
3: Two parallel dams: when the first dam fails, the process of collapsing the second begins.
4: You use large stones to break up the water flow… but what if you put some inside of your dam to strengthen it?
5: This one is to improve your setup and allow you to get more space. Instead of using stones to break up the water’s flow, what if you placed a piece of fabric over the end of the tube (like a scrap of an old T-shirt) and secured it on with waterproof tape? That way, you don’t need the stones as a splash shield: the water would simply soak through the fabric, keeping it from splashing.
6: Tutorial video on how to make these.
7: Paper strips as “rebar” for the sand.
8: Build a massive underground complex over the whole base of your tank, with the roof supported by bricks in some places, and sand in others. Cover it all in a thick layer of sand (you can even add a chimney/air shaft to allow water in slightly earlier) so you have maybe half the height of the tank used, then begin to flood the ground above the complex. When the water gets into the complex and eats away at the sand supports, those sections will cave in, eventually either collapsing the whole structure, parts of it, or simply creating an underground flash flood.
8: A small chunk of sodium or a similar element: the higher ones are more explosive, but these ones just produce hydrogen gas (possible fail reason, as if buried it’d likely generate a lot of pressure that could blow your dam apart or at least cripple it.

I like how the colapse of the big sand wall shows how important roots are in keeping big hills and such together
Yes, you are absolutely right.
for future tests it would probably be better to just have all the feeds seperately like cam 1, then show cam 2's footage, and so forth
I will think about it..
New Orleans is so pretty this time of year 😍
There's always gonna be one guy that'll sleep through all of this in real life.
Lol :)
Wouldnt it be nice to experiment with different kind of sands? Home depot stores often sells different kinds of sand. I would love to see that !
You are right, later I will use different materials
Wow!
Love it!
When I was a child I used to build citys, houses and buildings to destroy them in similar ways. This video made me remember beautifully times. 😍😍
Glad you enjoyed it, my dear friend!
florida after experiencing a hurricine 27 times a week:
You should do one similar to this but instead show how water pressure + flow will cause the base to erode out underneath the dam. You could do this by having a float (so as to not fill the "lake" side too full and a sump on the other side to catch any water flowing through and pump it out. Would be interesting to see how with a steady water level how a dam still fails.
Cool idea! Thank you. my friend!
Truly an interesting TH-cam site. Finally something interesting.
Thanks for that!
Welcome aboard, my dear friend!
I build my house floating over ocean in Minecraft
Cool :)
1:10 Woah! That was unexpected! The whole dam moved)
6:53 Still strong dam... How is this possible?!
8:00 ...sigh. It was really solid... But water hasn't passed yet!
10:24 Press F) But it was done by high water level, not by dam's weakness. Even with tunnel it was solid enough.
Wow, cool!
There’s just something so mesmerizing about flowing water that I’ve always been fond of as a kid
I have similar feelings..
I don’t understand why these builders build there houses on sand
One thing to mention, if that were an actual tunnel, the water would not rise on the bottom anywhere near as fast due to the near unlimited distance for it vs the area that a dam would affect.
Yes, you are right.
Anybody else watch the full video and not learn anything other than the fact that it was entertaining to watch?
Lol xD
Did not expect the creator to like this comment. I feel special 🤣
I find it extremely disturbing that the people make no effort to save themselves or others.Oh the humanity.
They filmed stories for Instagram..
There's a LOT of problems in this simulation : dirt doesn't have the same absorption rate of water than sand, it also depend the type of dirt and the vegetation (more tree = more sturdy grounds against water)
If a dam were to break it would flood much quicker + it would come as a wave (so there would be an initial impact)
Tunnels aren't make of spaced brick, so in reality they are more sturdy and above all really water proof.
Still the video make a good entertainment and a lot of efforts have been put in it's making, that i have to congrat you for.
But yeah, it's not really realistic. Could be a little realistic for a flood of costal city though.
You are right, I plan to build more complex models later
@@KingOfDams nice! :)
Yeah, it was a very satisfying video which I sat and completely watched, but unfortunately it wasn't realistic in the slightest.
Ground Water truly is a Riddle wrapped in a Mystery inside an Enigma.
Wow..
Go to 11:09 and set the playback speed to 0.25x and see the realistic speed if it was on large scale 💀
Cool!
Muito foda cara, os 12 minutos mais bem gastos da minha vida 👏👏👏
Obrigada! :D
地下鉄、海底トンネルかな？、がどうなるか知りたくて最後まで観てしまいました！
BGMが良いですね！
地下鉄だと思います. ありがとうございました！
@@KingOfDams .
thank you for your politeness!
Until the end I wasn't sure what would happen to the tunnel. I was betting on it collapsing, surprised it didn't, even though damage to the tunnel walls seems severe and probably not worth the effort of repairing it.
Yes, I was surprised too.
4:14 me waiting for the flood to be over
xD
Am i the only one that finds this extremely satisfying or is it just me 😅
I am very glad to hear it :)
6:00 Best part
Glad you think so
7:58 in the bottom right corner a gruesome death happens
Sand collapsed on them then some more sand then a car landed directly on top of them
What a tragedy..!
Even in such a small scale model the force of the water is kind of terrifying - very cool display! Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome my dear friend!
What I want to know is how it goes differently if you pre-moisten the sand with a spritzer bottle. You know, to simulate rainfall.
Cool idea, I'll try!
Just discovered this channel today and DAMN this is so cool but i have a question: How much time does it takes you to set it all up ??
I am glad you like it! One video, including filming and video editing, takes about 15-20 hours.
@@KingOfDams Oh cool ty ! This really shows how much work you put in the videos to make us entertained 😀👍👍 continue like this youre the best
Spot on replication of the California coastline.
3:50 horrible way to go 😂
oh yes..:)
@@KingOfDams double whammy lol
SE EU COLOCAR UMA CALCULADORA NA GELADEIRA, TEREI TUDO FRIAMENTE CALCULADO?
É claro! :)
Nah man I'm more question bout how he gets all this damn sand
@@burritouzumaki. Deez nuts
@@burritouzumaki. I guess you can call it Dam Sand.
@@moviestime878 haha I totally laughed not sarcasm
Love the special affects i felt like i was actully there!
I am very glad you think so!
Face in water 3:15
I love being a hero and building people lovely stuff, and then destroying it all with water, btw I saw those videos when I was a kid it was fun and funny for some reason
Welcome back! :)
There is something really satisfying about watching this toy place just crumble away.
I agree with you, my friend :)
Idk why but these type of videos are always entertaining
Glad you think so, my friend!
Excellent video every engineering student should watch!
I agree with you my friend!
This content is legendary. This is exactly why TH-cam exists. Thank you I will be watching the absolute hell out of this. Regards
I am very very glad you think so, my dear friend!
Bible said not to build your home on sand, odd........ this is so cool to watch!! Love the videos
I am very glad you like it, my friend!
I'm very glad we don't build on loose sand in reality.
Me too..:)
These are so satisfying and addictive. I hate it, thank you!
I like your style you even have garbage and an entire vehicle already in the lake. Very creative
I am so glad you like it, my friend!
This was very well made and fun to watch the destruction unfold
My friend, I am so glad you like it!
These are awesome. I used to set up "disasters" in my lego towns. Earthquakes, sinkholes, cliff collapses, hurricanes... but I never used real water.
Cool! Thank you my friend!
You should make your videos in slow motion, so it looks like a real scale event, it looks cool as heck.
Ok, my friend, I'll try to do it!
The way how that bunker started leaking was the best!
I cant believe you built a full size dam! must have been an expensive experiment!!
You're right! I spent about 80 million dollars on this! :)
Kickass channel man! So nice to see something new on YT
Welcome aboard!
Oh my! This brings up memories of being a kid. Building elaborate defenses with action figures and then blowing them up. All my friends wanted tea parties with their dolls, I wanted fire, explosions and carnage on a grand scale.
Wow.. Cool!
