The shots of the pipework inside the extension were stunning. Brilliant.
Very nice shots of the new data center cooling system. Thanks.
Thanks Brad
0:25. Southend, west. Apron. Supplies of the Sedak glazing units are running low.
0:38. Southend, west. Roof. Stacks of insulation board. Lots of it. Might be an additional layer to be added to the Data Centre roof.
1:31. Southend, west. Level 2. Top left. Fenced off area around where the pump hoses from Level 1 join the large pipes laid directly on the floor.
2:22. Southend, south. Changing over a glazing units/s.
3:35. Southend, east. Level 1. Cooling supply and return pipes with multi branch manifolds.
3:55. Southend, Cooling Tower. Installing the fans, and fanstacks (cowls).
4:19. Southend, pond. Installing a liner. There’s a pipe buried in a trench through the centre. Similar to the demolished evaporation pond at the site of the new switchyard/substation. See Joe’s 13 May 2021 video at 15.37.
4:44. Parking Garage, south. Turn-in for a bus stop maybe.
5:27. Sedimentation pond. Black discharge from the stormwater drain.
5:34. Westside, old contractors parking lot. Top right. TBM and back-up decks still on site.
8:52. Westside, Tunnel Project. Ventilation ductwork disconnected. Temporarily presumably.
12:32. Casting, road. Left. Concrete paving under the guardrail.
12:41. Casting, east. Baghouse slab. Backfilling the excavation around the edge. Pre-assembling a frame on the ground. Frame appears to be galvanised.
12:56. BIW, roof. Right. Cables run out across the framework, but not on cable tray. To be pulled back to the final location.
13:30. Cathode, west. Plant Platform. Weird black shading on the wall. Paint overspray perhaps. Visible in Joe’s video yesterday also.
4:19 I had forgotten about that pond. Good recall.
@@benguthrie49 4:19. 1420 pages of notes!
Water cooled GPU cluster at this scale could save a ****load of energy, with energy being $. Double or treble insulating layers.. all forequarters indeed. Post yesterday spoke about cryo. I suggested LN2 because you can so as to say 'overclock' the mf's to extreme levels. Downside is that at very low temperature, the fragility (F) ends in fracture of the silicon wafer, chip. Not too hot and not too cold just like something I remember learning years ago is just what is needed.
Would be interesting to know of the projected cost savings.... if any.
@@memrjohnno I'll stay away from Data Centre equipment. Other than the unusual ability (for a carpenter) to type, I wouldn't know a CPU from an APU, nor an APU from a Simpson's character.
@@DessieDoolan Not the equipment but rather the heat. Tesla trains people... Awesome.
I love the way you sweep the entire outbound lot and charging stations. So many Cybertrucks today? And, bring on the model Y’s. Looks like production is getting well back on track.
Just got my VIN! My Cyberbeast is down there somewhere!
Thank you for a smooth, detailed, cinematic video!
Nice work, Brad. The first minute was especially captivating, Nice use of sound and sight. It setup the rest of the program.
Music brings me to Giga Berlin! ;)
Great video. I love the music you use with your fly over. Great vibes. 😊
4:42 Definitely looks like they're putting in a bus stop.
6:51 Cybertrucks are *NOT* piling up, so the wiper motor fix isn't holding up shipments to delivery centers. They've either already corrected the issue in the factory or it's simple enough for the distributions centers to take care of.
The GPU cooling towers need LEDS.
Incredible gigafactory!
Thanks Brad!
South expansion:
@ 1:26 (By the yellow excavator) A section of 8' diameter stormwater pipe. Large excavation likely.
Cooling:
@ 3:35 A view into the 1st level and the 5' diameter cooling water pipes and manifolds.
Cooling tower:
@ 3:52 Fan shrouds being installed. Crane operator needs to be really careful in this area.
@ 4:01 A really good close up view of the fan shroud installation. Note the drive shafts connecting the fan motors to the fan gear boxes haven't been installed yet.
New pond:
@ 4:12 Pond liner being installed.
@ 4:21 (Left, going across pond) Pond drain. Any chance the pond could be part of the cooling system?
Parking garage:
@ 4:41 Laying rebar for what may be a bus stop. Sure hope the employees aren't expected to use the stairs! Which are right behind in the building.
Rooftop cable trays:
@ 12:53 (Bottom right) A lot of cables have been pulled from the south. Guessing at least 12 cables.
@ 12:59 Looks like only the lower cable tray used so far.
4:41 David, what is it with you and stairs? I spent 12 years teaching in the school system here. Lots of stairs every day; Several times a day. For handicapped folks like you, there are a few elevators.
@@benguthrie49 How many floors in your school building? Should employees have to go up 7 floors using stairs? As for me....
I am not handicapped. In large buildings owned by multibillion dollar corporations... Workers should NOT have to use stairs. That is my opinion.
re 4:12, see my reply to Dessie. The manifolds at 3:35 likely are the beginning of a huge engine room for the datacentre cooling. CW pipes are set up in pairs, to be connected to the heat exchangers in the primary cooling systems (not yet installed). For such an engine room it would make sense to have a gantry crane overhead to move equipment during installation and maintenance. Maybe we'll see that soon.
@@hardernl8893 Thanks! I'm definitely curious to learn more about these systems.
So the pond is in a way, likely part of the cooling system. Just not part of the normal water circulation and cooling.
Manifolds..... Now that you mentioned it, I noticed the pairs connected to the inflow and outflow pipes going to the cooling tower.
Glass fiber Reinforced Epoxy piping (GRE).... Seems like they must have a lot of confidence in their reliability. So far, it looks like there is only a single pair of 5' diameter pipes going to the cooling tower. Unless there will be a second set of pipes going to the cooling tower that follows this construction? Perhaps with each set of pipes serving 3 cooling tower sections?
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn I'm familiar with a so-called N+2 sparing philosophy for critical equipment like steam boilers, allowing a spare to kick in even if one is out for maintenance. I have no idea about a proven setup for this type of 24/7 reliability requirements. Maybe better than N+2. I'm a big fan of large, horizontal pumps with a large snail house so to speak (the pump body) working at a low RPM. In my experience they were ultra, ultra reliable and could handle a large difference in flow-regimes. At Cathode I see a lot of vertical in-line pumps, typically they work at high RPM and they have to achieve a positive flow-through within say 30 sec otherwise they overheat. Operators called them Prima Donna's I recall. We'll see what we get here...
3:58 The only possible air cooling system for the upcoming RTX 5090 Ti SUPER. 😆
I'm definitely not an expert on these cooling systems. But I don't think this can be considered an air cooling system. Water will be sent out to the cooling tower through the 5' diameter pipes, seen @ 3:35. Then sprayed out of nozzles at the top of the cooling tower. As it dribblers down through the tower, the large fans pull air up through the tower. Some of the water evaporates, cooling down the rest of it. The cooled water is collected in the catch basins at the bottom and recirculated back through the system. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you!
Thanks Brad
wow!
Cheers mate... storm brewing.
Merci👍👍👍
Wow. Impressive. Considering the issues Texas has had recently with power generation, I wonder where they're going to come up with the power to run this place. And the market for EVs is crazy these days. The charging setup is still immature. People are souring on EVs over the charging issue, up front costs, the cost of replacing batteries, battery capacity in cold weather, etc. And why such a large AI facility for Tesla? Is it to manage the factory floor or improve autonomous driving software?
Maravilha isso não tem preço e trabalhar em prol da humanidade amo e aprecio tudo que faz es nosso milagre promovendo outros milhares grata por poder assistir sucesso sempre no aguardo dos próximos
No temporary ventilation in the bored tunnel! 340m long. That can't be right. Not sure about US code but I would be amazed if that is allowed.
Temporary, or might it be now supplied from the east end? Possibly getting it out of the way to complete the demolition of the launch works?
Correct, you need ventilation per code. This does not have any it appears. Push pull fan systems are typical for tunnels
You don’t have to have forced air ventilation in the tunnel. You just can’t have humans without air packs in it. I’m sure it’s in the plan.
@@Bill_N_ATX Or it's being supplied from the east end. Lots of temporary HVAC installed around the Data Centre location adjacent to the east tunnel portal.
No way would a tunnel of that length need ventilation. Please.... no.
They're incapable of shipping an actual complete Cybertruck with wheel covers. They just can't. It's fascinating
4:01 Fan Blades..... I don't understand them. It looks like that the blades themselves are not fixed but move because unless it is an optical illusion, the top half of the fan looks like convex blades, and the bottom half of the fan looks like concave blades..... That would make the blades pivot at the hub as the fan spins? Or is it an optical illusion?
4:01. Scimitar blades. Featured on some turboprop aircraft. More efficient and quieter apparently. Might be the same with these on the cooling tower.
@@DessieDoolan Scimitar blades was a nice rabbit hole to venture down
@@benguthrie49 Sometimes all it takes is a word!
Anyone know what those giant fan blades are for?
Do a search for Evaptech EC series cooling tower.
@@DessieDoolan Awesome! thank you!
And not a roadster to be seen anywhere
They don't produce the Roadster here and no where that I know of.
@@BTS70VIDEOS I was just yanking your chain. Nice drone shots.
I thought Musk was smart? Wouldn't need all these cooling fans and towers if you put your PC's in Alaska,lol. Lets build a plant in Texas then spend billions cooling it off.
It doesnt make as much of a difference as you think and electricity is 20 times cheaper in Texas than it would be in alaska
You should be a CEO of Tesla bro
