Hello, thank you for your click 👍, below the video is described for what this room is needed and in this video th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html you see this room without the water.
This is a test for an overflow chamber which is used in hydropower dams for when they need to shut down the turbines but the massive amounts of water running to them needs somewhere to go. This chamber sits a ways above the turbines such that the water loses most of its energy rushing up the tube there, after being diverted away from the turbines.
It's simple: the chamber is meant to dissipate the inertia of the water colum after the rapid closing of the turbine valve and avoid a water hammer. Very interesting, thank you!

@@Jack-iq6cw Hello, below the video is described for what this room is needed and in this th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html you see this room without the water. Thanks for watching. 👍👍 Greetings from switzerland.
It is a chamber that water flows into when they close valves on hydroelectric dams. If it wasn't there the force of all that water stopping so quickly would hurt the turbines, it is a phenomenon called "water hammer" practical engineering did a pretty cool bit on it you should check it out.
Ahh, I'd guessed that it was something to prevent water hammer; as the valves start to close the rushing water eventually diverts to the new path of least resistance which terminates in a big empty chamber where it can't do any damage. I'm further guessing the chamber is above the level of the lake so that it doesn't just fill up with water regardless of the position of the valves to the turbines?
I'm a non-German guy, but I know what's going on. You know when you turn off a valve in your sink and you hear a loud "SLAM" and the pipes shake? A plumber can fix that by putting a "T" in your system with a capped-off pipe that points straight up. Air trapped in the pipe acts as a shock absorber when the water flow stops or changes direction. Well, this chamber does the same thing as that capped-off pipe, except it's in a system that's incredibly huge. If it weren't for this chamber, a turbine jamming would create a slam (hydraulic shock, "water hammer") that could wreck the power plant.
Basically, when they close the valves on the feed pipes to a hydroelectric power plant, the water's energy has to be dispersed. This is how they do it. There is a large vertical pipe which tops out just above the maximum depth of the reservoir. That's the big round pipe at the top. The surge of water blows out of it and the energy is dissipated. I think the drain away returns to the feed, which is why the water comes up there too. It's called hydraulic hammer, and without these relief valves youd be unable to stop the turbines without catastrophic damage to everything. Scary to watch too...!
I’m fascinated by dams and stuff. Thanks for the explanations in the comments, really interesting. So I guess water hammer is the “thud” noise my pipes make at home when my washing machine stops filling or when the toilet cistern suddenly stops filling. So makes sense that when you have something similar but on a massive scale such as this, you could be in trouble if you don’t give that surging water somewhere to go. Makes perfect sense now. Thank you!
I installed fire suppression systems for some years and "water hammer" was a phenomenon that we were all aware of and had various methods to avoid it happening because it could blow out valves and fittings made of cast iron and steel both as though they were made of aluminum or something. Keep in mind the stuff I did was using a maximum diameter pipe of 8 inches at the main, branch lines and stuff were much smaller than that. The thought of a water hammer happening with hundreds of TONS of water behind it is hard for me to even begin to comprehend, let alone imagine the type of destruction that could be created by it.
Me: (expects water to come up through the large penstock and drain down the square chute) Water: (comes up through the penstock AND the chute) Me: "Y'know, I'm not comfortable with this anymore..."
Probably that chute is connected to the LP side of the penstock and lower reservoir which will also experience water hammer, faster, but at lower pressure change. The HP end of the penstock will have two sets of snubbers, one near the intake, and another near the the turbine hall. This probably will be near the turbine hall, though it is possible that it's the end near the upper reservoir.

@@yellowgoose5043Naw, I understand the back pressure of the water if you cut off the flow because it's all gravity fed. The water has a lot of pressure behind it, the tubes (Penstocks) would crack beyond repair without this chamber to relieve the pressure. But as a recommended video, how did I end up here as a viewer.

The slant shaft (where water comes first in the video) is the channel that leads directly to the turbines. The Wasserschlosskammer soil is of course also higher than the upper reservoir. Now, if all three turbines in extreme cases (maximum capacity 300 MW at 75m³ / sec. Water flow) in the lower balancing reservoir, by a lightning strike to high voltage network (landline 380kV) fall into the emergency shutdown, flows from the upper reservoir still searching the water. This can then escape into the upper water lock chamber, so that the pressure shaft and the inclined shaft can not be damaged by the excessive water pressure.

Турбины отключены на уровне 85% (около 60 м³ в секунду, что эквивалентно примерно 240 МВт) их мощности для целей тестирования. В начале фильма, машины уже остановлены, поэтому шум, требуется около 50 секунд, пока вода не течет в компенсационную камеру.

For those who don't know what this is...it is basically an overflow chamber for if they have to shut down a generator turbine at a hydro dam. The water has to go somewhere, so it temporarily goes here and then drains back out.
So for the small number of English people coming through here...this video title translates to "Upper water lock chamber". It is a hydroelectric dam backup tank for the water to surge into when they're shutting down turbine generators.
Why am I drawn to keep watching this. All this stuff goes on that very few people know about. But when you actually see it I find myself almost hypnotised. Fascinating. Great video.

Hello, below the video is described for what this room is needed and in this th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html you see this room without the water.
MOPEDMAN28 1) Water runs through a long large tunnel from an elevated dam/reservoire to turbines. 2.) The water flow through the turbines is suddenly cut off, e.g. when there is a malefunction in a turbine. 3) All the water already in motion in the tunnel can not be stopped, and would just destroy the valves and turbines if one would try. 4) Instead, the moving water is redirected into a dump room (at an elevation higer than the dam itself, i.e. the water starts flowing uphill due to its momentum) 5) with time the water flow decelerates as it does not want to flow uphill. 6) the water flow stops and thereafter the water starts draining back from the dump room to the dam/reservoire.
Ausgezeichnet! You must understand the sheer volume of water transferred in this operation. As a former fire captain, I am quite familiar with water and the flow seen here. Water hammer is an little known but quite powerful force. Dumping a valve closed can be quite dangerous. This is a beautiful view of the protective workings in a dam. Incredible energy.

@@jasonwilde197 I thought you said how did it end up there.
@@yellowgoose5043Naw, I understand the back pressure of the water if you cut off the flow because it's all gravity fed. The water has a lot of pressure behind it, the tubes (Penstocks) would crack beyond repair without this chamber to relieve the pressure. But as a recommended video, how did I end up here as a viewer.
Translated description. thank me later
Three turbines are switched off at 85% (about 60m³ per second, equivalent to about 240MW) of their power for testing purposes. At the beginning of the film, the machines are already stopped therefore the noise, it takes about 50 seconds until the water flows into the compensation chamber. Approximate size of the chamber about 80m long 15m wide and at the end it is filled 2m.
Here is a video of the chamber without water th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html

Here's a video of the champagne without water th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html
This is the upper water lock chamber of a pumped storage power plant. The water overflow of the vertical shaft which protrudes into the chamber is slightly higher than the maximum damming target of our upper reservoir. Here is a video of the dam and the lake behind it (th-cam.com/video/t8lCLcQf944/w-d-xo.html). The slant shaft (where water comes first in the video) is the channel that leads directly to the turbines. The Wasserschlosskammer soil is of course also higher than the upper reservoir. Now, if all three turbines in extreme cases (maximum capacity 300 MW at 75m³ / sec. Water flow) in the lower balancing reservoir, by a lightning strike to high voltage network (landline 380kV) fall into the emergency shutdown, flows from the upper reservoir still searching the water. This can then escape into the upper water lock chamber, so that the pressure shaft and the inclined shaft can not be damaged by the excessive water pressure. I hope this explanation helps you and everyone else to understand this special water feature.

This is the upper water closing chamber of a pumped storage power station. The water overflow of the vertical shaft into the chamber is slightly higher than the highest dam of our upper reservoir. Here is a video of the dam and the lake behind it (th-cam.com/video/t8lCLcQf944/w-d-xo.html). The sloping shaft is the channel that leads directly to the turbines. The water closet chamber floor is, of course, ie higher than the upper reservoir. In an extreme case, all three turbines (maximum power 300MW at 75m³ / sec of water flow) in the lower compensation basin, by a lightning strike into the high-voltage grid (380kV) into the emergency shutdown, the upper water still flows. This can then be diverted into the upper water chamber, so that the pressure well and the inclined shaft can not be damaged by the excessive water pressure. I hope this explanation helps you and everyone else to understand this special water game.
Турбины отключены на уровне 85% (около 60 м³ в секунду, что эквивалентно примерно 240 МВт) их мощности для целей тестирования. В начале фильма, машины уже остановлены, поэтому шум, требуется около 50 секунд, пока вода не течет в компенсационную камеру. Приблизительный размер камеры около 80 м длиной 15 м в ширину и в конце заполняется 2 м.
Вот видео из камеры без воды th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html
Это верхняя камера водяного замка на насосной станции. Перелив воды вертикального вала, который выступает в камеру, немного выше, чем максимальная плотная цель нашего верхнего резервуара. Вот видео плотины и озера позади него (th-cam.com/video/t8lCLcQf944/w-d-xo.html). Наклонный вал (где вода идет первым в видео) - улучший, который ведет непосредственно к турбинам. Почва Water lock chamber, конечно же, также выше, чем верхний резервуар. Если теперь в крайних случаях все три турбины (максимальная мощность 300 МВт при потоке воды 75 м³ / сек) в нижнем бассейне компенсации, молниевым ударом в высоковольтной сетке (линия электропередачи 380 кВ) при аварийном отключении, вытекает из верхнего резервуара, все еще находящегося в воде. Затем он может попасть в верхнюю камеру водоотвода, так что давление и наклонный вал не могут быть повреждены чрезмерным давлением воды. Надеюсь, это объяснение поможет вам и всем остальным понять эту особенность воды.

Thanks. Don't you know what is the purpose of the round vertical shaft farther from us? And where does it lead to?
Thanks Captain Jim Bob , You saved Me a trip to google translate :)
That's literally in the video's description above...
I came across what he wrote before reading all of the description , lol .
whoops didn't realize it was already in the description lol
For those who don't know what this is...it is basically an overflow chamber for if they have to shut down a generator turbine at a hydro dam. The water has to go somewhere, so it temporarily goes here and then drains back out.
And three years later I'm still watching this amazing footage. It's absolute terror for me, but so damn fascinating!!! Thank you so much.
Of course I'm happy, not your fears but your fascination for the unusual water feature ❗🤣🤣 Greetings from Switzerland
Same here 😂
So for the small number of English people coming through here...this video title translates to "Upper water lock chamber". It is a hydroelectric dam backup tank for the water to surge into when they're shutting down turbine generators.
water lock?

Thank you!
Thanks
Thanks for clearing that up .🤘💎
Not all hero's wear capes.
Danke für das Video! Unheimlich interessant sowas!
Riesen Wassermassen sind faszinierend und beängstigend zugleich.
Would be great to see more of this chamber in action, I’ve watched this video lots of times and find it fascinating 🧐
Ich weiß zwar nicht, was das ist, oder was das soll, aber wenn TH-cam sagt, ich soll das ansehen, dann tu ich das natürlich auch.
Dank Dir fällt mir auf das ich mich von YT manipulieren lasse. Danke Du hast mich vor einigen Dummheiten bewahrt!
Imagine the horror of being trapped down there as it fills up. That would be truly terrify -
Oh wait, there's a little staircase 2:16
You still in touch with Mo?
You would be ok if it started filling, it's when it was emptying, that would be scary.
Why? Because spanish keyboards messing around, pal :) that's why.
You are right :o maybe he meant to say "are our minds connected?" or something similar. Basically a typo :p just nyeh :)

Absolut beeindruckend diese Dimension, wenn das Wasser herein oder wieder herausströmt! Wahnsinn. Gerne mehr davon! 🙏🤩
Why am I drawn to keep watching this. All this stuff goes on that very few people know about. But when you actually see it I find myself almost hypnotised. Fascinating. Great video.

Hello, below the video is described for what this room is needed and in this th-cam.com/video/pU5fkv1xVW0/w-d-xo.html you see this room without the water.
Thank Edgar! I was interested too.
Trainzguy 2472 its pressure relief . To avoid a water Hammer event.
I still have no clue what this is.....
MOPEDMAN28
1) Water runs through a long large tunnel from an elevated dam/reservoire to turbines.
2.) The water flow through the turbines is suddenly cut off, e.g. when there is a malefunction in a turbine.
3) All the water already in motion in the tunnel can not be stopped, and would just destroy the valves and turbines if one would try.
4) Instead, the moving water is redirected into a dump room (at an elevation higer than the dam itself, i.e. the water starts flowing uphill due to its momentum)
5) with time the water flow decelerates as it does not want to flow uphill.
6) the water flow stops and thereafter the water starts draining back from the dump room to the dam/reservoire.
Why is this water so loud? The water in my bottle has never yelled like this before.
Great comparison... *idiot*
@@kingstongrigg4029 you’re real fun at parties

This reminds me of those times when you clog the toilet and right before it overflows it just gets sucked down the drain and you sigh in relief

This is just like a nightmare from my childhood. I always have had a fear for structures like this or boat propellers etc. ^^*
You will love this propeller video then th-cam.com/video/QIPMfHUIVvk/w-d-xo.html
I can relate with your fear.
@@outdoorsguy That was REALLY freaky! Scared me more than videos of spiders. I am actually surprised on how it affected me. ^^*
Same, it’s called Submechanophobia
@@moonraeshan haha the more you know!
So this is basically a large water hammer arrestor ?
Exactly.
This gives me a highly amount of anxiety and paranoia.
guess cats are right after all
Me to. Fuck that I'm outta there! LOL!
just imagine the mafia takes you in there
Gerade bestimmt das 10x gesehen in 8 Jahren. Immer wenn es vorgeschlagen wird kann ich nicht widerstehen 😅
Jep, so isses bei mir auch...
Bei mir auch 4bis 6 mal vorgeschlagen worden. Schaus mir immer wieder gern an
I WATCHED THIS VIDEO 4 YEARS AGO WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT EVER SINCE
Hope you find it. Gods speed.
Ausgezeichnet! You must understand the sheer volume of water transferred in this operation.
As a former fire captain, I am quite familiar with water and the flow seen here. Water hammer is an little known but quite powerful force. Dumping a valve closed can be quite dangerous.
This is a beautiful view of the protective workings in a dam. Incredible energy.
I honestly don't know wth is this but this is pretty satisfying to watch. Seeing the thumbnail made me curious.
This is actually fascinating because it prompted me to learn more about how hydropower systems operate.

Hallo wenn Sie wissen was das für eine anlage ist, könnten Sie mir vielleicht sagen was das ist? Habe das Video jetzt schon oft angesehen kann mir aber immer noch nicht erklären was das sein soll? LG Patrick
Eine Art Druckausgleichskammer für das Wasser, wenn im Damm alle Turbinen gleichzeitig abgeschaltet werden.
my worst nightmare would be being trapped in there
dont you have Seepferdchen?

@ Grijpwijk : ....yes very funny . the right term is " surge tank "

Ich muss gerade an die Worte meines Opas denken:
"Du kannst vor dem Feuer weglaufe, aber nicht vor dem Wasser."
Finde auch das Wasser einem echt angst machen kann... ich meine ich geh gerne schwimmen, aber es ist so gewaltig waws da für eine kraft hintersteckt ......
Habe ich nicht gelesen, sorry.
= hinter Wasser selbst steckt keine Kraft.
aber es kann Energiereiche Niveaus haben
ein Mensch kann z.B. nicht in 2km Tiefe tauchen, auch wenn er eine Sauerstoffflasche dabei hätte. Das Wasser würde den Menschen förmlich erdrücken. Das Wasser hat allein im Ruhestand gewaltige Kräfte. Darum habe ich vor dem Tauchen Angst :-)
You can see the vibrations from the rushing water in the puddles! Imagine the power involved to make so much concrete vibrate that much!!! Thanks for the video. Pretty cool.
Atleast its an Obere Wasserschlosskammer. Nothing beats an old ass Wasserschlosskammer.

This is my favourite "scary water" type video. Great footage. These places are incredible but also very intimidating to me!
2:38 one can't help but wonder about the power of that whirlpool. I assume a person would get sucked down into the tunnel making this place extremely dangerous. It only adds to the excitement and terror.
Check out the hoover dam spillway tunnel. Now thats a scary hole.
Check out Michigan State silver mine entrance in lake. 1,200 feet straight down. Submechanicaphobia.

For some reason this was recommended to me last night and I watched it on my phone in bed, then I had terrifying dreams all night. Thanks wasserschlosskammer, I'll never forget you
There's just something so satisfying about watching the room flood and then seeing the water all drain away.
