  • Engineering marvel of the world inside Big Brutus. It’s the Worlds Largest Electric Shovel in existence today. Come with me to get a tour inside of this magnificent mammoth piece of heavy equipment made by Bucyrus Erie. I will explain some of the inner workings of this machine.

    Congrats on the new channel Marty! I liked seeing the actual POV walk-through, going up and down the stairs and seeing more rooms in the machine. Also liked see the size of the machines relative to your height. Good job, keep going!

    Well done Marty! Congrats on your first endeavor with this kind of video. Narration is fine, concise and full of interesting facts & figures. Videography was well done. Only once did I notice a pan that could have been just a little slower (in my opinion, anyway). Great idea to show Sally standing in the bucket, really shows the size reference between human and machine. You did a great job and it was educational indeed. Hope to see more in the future.👍👏👏👏

    The construction is reminiscent of ship building. Very compartmentalized. Even the doors are hatches. Great job on the tour. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I wonder how many employees had to be used to operate that thing per shift! That is amazing!

      I was actually thinking the same thing and I was thinking at least 5 per shift.

    Brutus is the largest still existing, the largest was 3x heavier The Captain, at 28 million pounds. Being a KS native, thank you for this video, it is now on my bucket list to visit.

    Running that shovel off of A/C to D/C, was engineering genius.

    • @MeanderingMarty
      @MeanderingMarty  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I worked in a mill years ago that did the same thing a/c motor to d/c generator to d/c motor and when you walked into the motor room you could actually smell electricity in the air.

    The only improvement I'd suggest is to adjust your volume up. We watched on our TV and normally have TH-cam volume around 12 to 13. For your video it started out ok at 15 but we shortly had to turn it to 24 as your voice dropped. I notice the volume seems better on my tablet, so not sure what was the deal on TV. Otherwise it was great. Keep it up.

    Marty, Congratulations, and Thank you for the technical insights into that digging machine. The method of assembly of that machine would have also been interesting to see back when it was built. When I was much younger, we had a family trip to the taconite mines in Bemidji Minnesota where we took a family picture standing in a drag link bucket. I thought that bucket was huge, but the scoop on Big Brutus was notably larger. I look forward to your future discoveries along the way!

    they really should put in mock-ups of the missing equipment. I believe there si a break room for the crew (more than just the operator) that was not shown

    • @MeanderingMarty

      Possibly as there were closed off areas.

    Nice tour! My wife and I looked at Big Brutus about 20 years ago, when my kid sister was teaching over in Pittsburg, Ks. I don't remember if we could go into the beast then.

    • @MeanderingMarty

      If you get in the area it is a definite must see again. If I get in the area I’ll go over again as I thought it was amazing.

    Hey dude don't be so hard on yourself you did a very good job at explaining the parts that you didn't know about the video was good okay keep them coming out and I will definitely watch them okay thanks Charles Williams later on jelly beans for now okay

    Thank you for tour of this special heavy metal Large boy 😊❤😊 did they build any kind of restroom facility on board. I think the big room behind operating station was a coffee break room. The two pedals believe thay are for swing. The "V" shaped control on Left control lever might have been the bucket floor tipper. If you ever are in Salt lake City, check out Bingham Canyon Copper Mine.( The information guard building at main entrance, the people are very friendly and give you a map to the visitors center, you will not be running into any off road haul dumps, It has a overlook view visitor center. Looking down into the huge cut benches. The modern ( P&H) big electric Shovels are NOT as huge as this bad boy, but they are big looking down at them. The thing that impressed me was looking at the biggest graders CAT makes. Three working in tandem keeping haul road smooth, huge windrolls on side.

    • @MeanderingMarty
      @MeanderingMarty  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I didn’t see a restroom but I wouldn’t doubt if they had one back then. Thank you for all the information and thanks for watching. 😉

    @mikestrain4747 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I wish my first video was this good. Like said by others sound could be improved in my opinion I would rather have to turn sound down then needing to max it out. A couple times I did want to ask you to relax a little but my guess is that will come in time otherwise as a techy person I wouldn't have minded a little more info for example voltage and so on as well it is nice when guys get a short clip of info cards or add pictures so I could pause and read if im intrested.

    Wonder if this is where Manitowoc got the crawler design of their now retired 21000 from.

    • @MeanderingMarty
      @MeanderingMarty  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Some aspects could have been the same but I believe the 21000 crawler was half as high if my memory serves me correctly when I stood next to one at the crane company.

    It would have been nice to see "The Captain", at 28 million pounds (13 kt), it was triple that of Big Brutus. But sadly, it's gone.

    • @MeanderingMarty
      @MeanderingMarty  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, it would have been.

    It has the building of and information about the big shovel. Just a FYI
