Great animation, interesting as hell information, 10/10 would watch this show

[@elliottonyt]

wow an olympic pool is 660,000 Gallons. So a "series" of 200,000 gallon tanks means there is a lot more water inside that building than i would have ever imagined!

[@Justin-uc8sc]

Neat, but why is this directed like a horror movie?

[@andrescetina582]

Because it is...Dubai in general is a nightmare, it's pure looks for the riches but the workers that maintain it live in really bad conditions

[@lkocevar]

As soon as the oil begins to dry out.... so will Dubai and the Emirates. Then, no gold will fill your stmach, no luxury car will quench your thirst. Keep up the good work ;)

[@AhmadSohailWahab]

I wanna know how these buildings are heated and how houses in cold places are warmed

[@EbdyYTshorts]

These buildings are connected to district cooling plants. To maintain the room temperatures during hot & humid summer. District cooling plants are more electrical & water efficient compare to normal chiller units. It also helps to make good revenues for the services provider i believe:).

Honestly, I thought that it will be much more complex😅

Woah.. !!

[@jameselliott9397]

I don’t understand why filtered waste water excluding solid waste ie:bath and shower water in high rises is not used to flush toilets on the floors below and/or ran through a turbine to create electricity.
There would be 2 drain systems. Drain 1 for ejected waste water that would not be reused. Drain 2 water would be filtered and treated into a tank below each floor which could overflow into more tanks in even lower floors . This water would be used to flush the toilets. The filters could be back flushed into drain 2 periodically to remove any waste.

One issue would be supply, might be more of a demand for gray water than available. Cant have a gray water system and fresh be interconnected for various reasons. Running the gray through a turbine for elcectricty although possible you wouldn't be able to maintain a consitant RPM on the turbine.

[@horijakkamnavlese5513]

@@randomsanwhich2 how about reservoir for this used water and when its full send it to turbine? I guess too complicated for small result/electricity produced?

[@karunaimalai8849]

they can use stream water instead pumping water to the top. water streamer less energy additionally pipe don't break out due to Heavyweight Pressure etc

[@Engineer9736]

karunai malai What is a water streamer? If you mean steam, i guess the throughput will be way too low, and having salt water in pipelines requires very expensive corrosion resistant pipes.

[@naveenanimationtamil9785]

Also it takes time

[@karunaimalai8849]

they can use salt water too to stream it do turn in to drinkable pure water any ways if it is streamed

[@MrKockabilly]

But it doesn't have sewage system to take away the bldg inhabitants' poops. Had to carry them away by a battalion of trucks everyday.

[@sarathmohan979]

Even if it's in stages, still the bottom pipe should feel the weight of all the water above it right. ?

[@yepyolochannel]

nope, its not like that

[@sarathmohan979]

@@yepyolochannel Can you please explain it then? I will appreciate it.

[@alexkapinga2024]

@@sarathmohan979 the pipes rise up just past and above the tanks and then are angled back down so water flows out into the top of each tank. This way the water in the pipes is separated from the water collected in the tank. Solving your problem. (I'm just guessing this)

[@sarahsura1147]

😱😱😱 i was there for 10

[@radinelaj3932]

If you are afraid of pipes that could explode b, then why don't use metal pipes? ( thick metal pipes) it couldn't explode

[@Blurrybob]

You would be surprised to see what pressure can do to the hardest metals

Please dont do the sewage system animation cause it doesnt have one

It doesn't even have a seawage disposal system.
