Very beautiful..to watch with this .. and for the Mummy's you can open a dam up fast then you lose control ... of the water. This way by going slow. You are in control just how many millions of water pressures is behind that flap? Great Job to the camera man.... life runs to fast slow down a watch a day cleans its sekf.
❤️❤️💜 thanks for feedback 🙂
Give the cameraman anything other than a raise

Skip to the 6:23 mark when water finally starts flowing.
I'm showing the complete process of Flap Gate opening
Thank you for saving my life.
A lot of us you toober’s don’t have a lot of time to sit through anything longer than 3 minutes
My attention span is about 74 seconds
Was a fun clip
@@emilyoshiro ,
Now that's a good laugh and I needed it, lol.
@Kashmir_explorer786 if that was the case, you should have that on the title instead of the, somewhat misleading title, and would have gotten less hate. People here are expecting an instant video of the dam release, not the process. If people wanted to watch the process, they would have gone and looked it up.
That’s the coolest finger back drop I’ve ever seen

UN intentionally
All that buildup just for shoddy camera work and a finger right at the important bits.
Didn't see the video during recording
Wah wah wah. You mad that you cant see the bottom corner of the screen where nothings happeneing? Or are you just mad that you couldnt see the…oh wait he did get the moment the water poured over idk what else there was to miss😂ill never understand people like you🤦♂️always finding something in everything to bitch abt
Exactly, what a waste of time
You guys can make a video now. Find a dam that is shedding floating debris. Find time to record video while on the job. Post it on UA-cam.
It's damming evidence for sure
Wow I won’t get that time back.
Thanks for the warning
Warning about what dear? 🙏
@@Kashmir_explorer786your finger or something kept coming further and further into the shot blocking the view 😂😂😂😂
Well, you're sitting on your ass watching UA-cam, so it's not like you were doing anything productive with your time LOL
@@dlyall26it’s a corndog 😂😂😂
The closer it got to opening the further into the shot the finger got wow. You might want to try this again minus the finger.
The process of opening these gates is not carried out regularly. It opens once in years. If I get a chance again I'll keep my fingers away from camera.
@@Kashmir_explorer786 I actually thought you was doing the finger on purpose because it was coming I to the frame more and more as the gate was opening. I do enjoying watching these types of videos anyway so keep up thrgood work just be aware of where your fingers are 😂
@@Kashmir_explorer786you are doing everything to deny that you just don’t know how to handle a camera at all. Own up to it
I'm surprised those ladder cages didn't get ripped off
It is flabbergasting. Hope the next episode will comprise "socks drying at the Hoover Dam" or "opening plug after bath".
To be continued!
You will see what is in your mind. 🙈
I wish drugs would work for me like in your case ...
@jackbruce7025 brought one for me too.
This is an interesting film, thanks. The finger masking is a natural and organic product in the development of filmmaking. Good job.
Thanks for watching @farida
Bros finger blockin the beauty 😂
Mobile safety first
Yup. I wasn't able to see the mobile screen due to extreme Sun light
This officially qualifies as a waste of time .
Maybe you didn't observe the hydraulics engineering working in the actual world
The Gates "wall" seals are Fecking impressive... there appears to be minimal, neigh on no leakage until the gate drops below the reservoir level...
Steel liners are installed along the walls where the seal of gate moves that's why there is no leakage
Awesome. This isn't one of those blink and you'll miss it moments though.
Thanks. some peoples wants that flap gate should open in a moment.
For people complaining that it's slow; it needs to be.
If it moved quickly then it could create a cavity that all that water would rush to fill into.
That is an incredible amount of water and is incredibly heavy. If that amount of water slammed into the gate at once, it could be damaged or destroyed and cause a disaster.
Thank you very much for explaining 🙂
I always enjoy a spillway with cup holders.
Good thing I skipped way ahead. Makes watching paint dry seem exciting.
Flow over Spillway gate is fascinating
@@Kashmir_explorer786The complainers are too busy watching utube to watch utube.
any slower it would have dried up due to evaporation. click bait
The temperature of water released over the gate is very low. It is not evaporate even in summer
@@Kashmir_explorer786 did they removed the debris or get they simply flushed away?

Thanks for sharing! I've worked at hydro plants before, and almost nothing happens quickly at hydroelectric plants. (except for the excited electrons being generated of course!) The gate to the penstock that we were working on at the time, would take upwards of 12+ hours to fully open or close. Most people will never get the opportunity to see these processes in action outside of videos like this. Just for context, are you able to share the site where this footage was taken? I understand if you cant. Thanks again for showing us this.
@@isaT Excellent question! I can't speak to the video here, but I can speak about the hydroelectric pant that I have worked at previously.
In our case the gate weighs 120 tonnes. The gate uses threaded shafts and gearing, and is coupled to an electric motor which is rated for a specific RPM (revolutions per minute) in which it operates. Since the electric motor rotates at a fixed speed, and the gearing is such that it has to lift (or lower) the 120 tonne gate, the system pretty much sets the speed limit on it's own.
Also, moving 120 tonnes quickly could introduce some significant safety issues or break things. It's not just moving the massive weight, but stopping it too! Think about stopping a 120 tonne object quickly, and what the effects of doing that would be, if it were moving at a high velocity.
Toss in the weight of the water putting pressure on the gate and I'm not sure about the maths on that but it is pretty significant - I hope this helps!
beautiful
Would’ve been cool to see a giant octopus 🐙 go over the spillway😮
No I didn't see that. Can you please mention the time when that is flowing over the gate

I'm impressed, just like that thumb on the lenz
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm delighted to hear that you're impressed. If there's anything specific you enjoyed or if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to share. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
So , instead of collecting the debris , they just send it downstream? Not our problem anymore.
The undeniable power of water! Absolutely incredible.
watching spillway gate open is the new watching paint dry
Why did it take more than 6 minutes for the gate to open enough to even slowly start releasing water??
A substantial water gate, measuring 9m by 7m, is currently engaged in releasing water from a reservoir. The deliberate, gradual opening of the gate is necessitated by the significant load it bears. This measured approach ensures the controlled discharge of water, preventing potential disruptions or adverse effects associated with the heavy release.
I highly suggest watching at 2x speed, even then its painfully slow and not that interesting. But you get to see large equipment operating, slowlllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
This is how hydraulics work on heavy loads. Spillways gates are operated at this speed.
I could imagine Post 10 losing his mind watching this, standing there with his little rake.
Every single person in the comments is completely worthless I just thought I’d say that
Nope! your feedback is very valuable to us
A bit like watching paint dry until 5:30 and then it starts feeling like being forgotten on your birthday.
It's not my mistake. The gate opens at universal speed I've tried to make a full video of the opening flap gate.
OMG... Why 8 minutes???... 1.5 would have been OK
I have never been edged by a piece of infrastructure before damn
Insane how loud these things can get.

Very nice video. Thanks for posting this.
Nice looking water. Is that where Poland Spring gets its 💧from 🤔
Nope 😔
Hello, may I ask why is it so slow opening please? & Thanks!
Yep, gotta be the world's slowest moving gate! I almost fell asleep. And the finger on the lens makes for some kind of award in video tech! Don't give up your day job. You need more classes.
Appreciate the feedback, @stevenm3141! I'll take your advice and work on improving my video skills. Slow gates and finger-on-lens mishaps won't be a trend for long!
I’m convinced the camera caught the dam opening by accident. He was actually openly defecating and caught the gate opening. As evidenced by the shoddy camera work and finger covering the shot.
Too many comments by super expert videographers about how they could have done it better and why did the flap open so slowly. Maybe some knowledge of hydraulics and water flow control might have helped them.
Good video ! 👍
6:29 the way the water flows over the gate is so cool
Nice finger in the shot lmao 😅
See this without finger ua-cam.com/video/WOi-_aTjSGw/v-deo.htmlsi=IkTs8DvkknfyoNSb
I don't always film something amazing, but when I do, I make sure my finger is in the way.
Skip to 6:10
Water fall over gate ❤️
Is that gate specifically to get the debris or silt to bypass the turbines?
These gates are used to remove floating debris i.e wooden logs, plastic bottles etc from reservoir. Also release extra water downstream and maintain reservoir leve.
@@Kashmir_explorer786 thank you for the explanation
men unhappy, men saw the video, men happy
All that being held back by two fairly small hydraulic rams
Real power of hydraulics
Nice finger picture..
That green bottle is the reason Sprite bottles are now clear.
Well that's ten minutes I will never get back
Skip to 6:33 sec for the actual start of the video we’re here for
Due to the heavy load of water on the gate it opens slowly

how nice camera man made sure we all saw his finger
Did this video seriously need to be 8 minutes long?
6:20
Yes but that scene came when the gate reached 5m down from fully closed position and water spilled over the gate

Is that what a flat Earth would look like 😱?
Yes when it reaches the water level of the reservoir it looks like flat earth. Basically it opens downward so the floating debris in the reservoir goes downstream.
This video is about 6 minutes too long. Should of started it around 6:12
Here is video as per your desire ua-cam.com/video/WOi-_aTjSGw/v-deo.htmlsi=rIet_J2vvfzMmucQ
That water looks thick
Yes river water has dissolved sediments.
Imagine if one of those hydraulic cylinders failed
The cylinder difference causes the motor to stop and the flap Gate stops lowering.
@@Kashmir_explorer786 cool good to know
Almost as interesting as one of my famous videos of paint drying.

I ffwd almost more on this than a joe biden talking bit!
Glad I didn't miss any of the riveting suspense in the first 6 min of this video. 😴
That's not the Obere Wasserschlosskammer i was looking for x3
Jump to 6: 23 before anything actually happens.
Good
You'd think after decades of phone cameras that people would notice they are filming a finger.
Due to sunlight the shooter was unable to see the phone screen during recording the gate opening event
@@Kashmir_explorer786Easy solution.... hold the phone correctly for photography.
That water looks like it has more than just debris in it. 🤔😅😅 IMHO.
FF to 6:15...Yikes that thing is slow 😆. 🌞
Gate moving on a heavy load. The power of hydromechanical structures
@@Kashmir_explorer786 Gotcha 👍 Thanks for the explanation. 🌞
how did my finger get in this guy's video too
It would seem standing in those baskets on either edge of the gate would be a bad place to be ....
Makes us sit through 6 minutes of nothing then sticks his finger over the lens when things do finally start happening. Jenius...
Dang, takes quite a while to open that
Take 30min to fully open
That’s some filthy water.
That debris could have been cleared by a couple of dudes with scoops on a barge,total waste of water.
This gate is opened only when we have more water than our required power generation capacity. Usually floating debris came in high flow season and required to be thrown Downstream because it stucks into the trashracks of intake gates and blocks flow towards the powerhouse

That gate takes forever to lower...also that is some nasty looking water.. i work at a wastewater plant and thats what our water looks like before treatment...
"Wow, the wait for that gate can be quite a test of patience, right? 😅 As for the water, it's interesting to hear your perspective from working at a wastewater plant. It's amazing how essential treatment processes are in transforming that murky appearance into something clean and safe. Kudos to you and your team for playing a crucial role in ensuring our water gets the treatment it needs!"
Bro's thumb blocked 45% of the screen at some stages jesus.
6:27 minutes of boring slow movement to start with. Luckily one can skip minutes to see the final water punching down. Not much debris however, but a lot of finger in the lower left corner.
Debris was reached a bit later than the video was stopped. Due to sun 🌞 light I cannot focus on mobile screen to see my finger is Infront of camera. However Thanks for watching the video
That's fuckin cool

You have a beautiful finger
