The dfference is that in Switzerland they have the bunkers to protect from fallout from Russian nukes, in America they have bunkers to protect you from bad guys and zombies so you need to hide the enterance and escape hatch
In the US you need doors thick enough out all of your neighbors who said you were crazy for building your bomb shelter. Now all of them are banging on your door trying to get in when the SHTF.
I think only European countries still building fall out shelters under houses are Switzerland and Finland. Here in Finland the shelter is usually used as a extra storage space or bike shelter etc in apartment buildings. By law it needs to be ready to operate in 72h notice. Some buildings don't have their own shelter but there is a bigger unit somewhere near by. Next to a metro line or under a shopping center etc. Some of them can house over 6000 people.
Regulations have changed years ago and it isn't mandatory anymore to have a shelter when you build a house. However, there is a place in a shelter for everybody in Switzerland.

It's the same in Finland, Helsinki has giant bunkers which are used as underground car parking, they have huge blast doors but are fully stocked with emergency equipment, every apartment black has a bomb shelter, and I think the law is any new built home with over 6 bedrooms has to have it's own bomb shelter (which makes extra cost for the home builder).

Every home and business in the U.S. should have these. It would give the population a much better chance of survival. I wonder how much a set up like this would actually cost installed.? Anyone happen to know? Thanks for sharing the information.
This is absolutely amazing I wish I had that but I have a question Where does the water go when it goes inside of the escape tunnel what is stopping it from flooding
The water needs to drain out the bottom. Most of the time this is just into the ground (like in this video with the rock bed). If the shelter has a escape tunnels it is also angled slightly downwoards away from the shelter. The shelters are also not built in areas that could be prone to flooding.
Ron, I was wondering about the dehumidifier tube that was routed out to the rock garden; that looked like they just drilled a large opening and the tube was freely moving around - Did the hole for the plastic tube have any type of rubber seal to keep the outside air from coming in unfiltered?
The hole is designed for you to route an antenna cable torugh it. Normally there is a moving metal insert in there that will cut the cable and seal the hole from the outside if there is a blast. Seems like they just put away the metal insert so the can run the tube trough it. It's called transmission tube ("Übermittlungsrohr").
Why worry about little hole in the wall? You have bigger treat in front of you- filter located in the same room with 8” pipe coming right through the wall! - it will collect all radiation in that filter can and blast everyone in the room with deadly radiation poisoning. This is stupidities design I ever seen!
All very well selling the door, but presumably to be effective in the event of having bombs dropped on it, the walls and ceiling need to be reinforced too? (Of course this will be the case for the Swiss bunkers)

@@Lusa_Iceheart yep, although there is a worrying trend towards "progressive" in Switzerland now, mostly because of pressure from the EU to align more closely (which is down to EU 'elves' again I think, getting rid of Junkers didn't slow them down much)
I'am from switzerland and this is not actually completely true (that there is a bunker beneath every house). While since the 1960s every new home must have a bunker, this does not account for all the older homes. As an example in my village there a lot of house which are 150-400 years old. All those inhabitants have to take shelter in either the communal shelter (usually beneath the school) or with neibors which have new houses with shelters. But as law, every swiss citizen is (theoretically) garanteed a please in a shelter.
Only an IT consultant. So my thoughts are about the design - Are the ceiling made of the same material of the door? Was the deep blast impact from the top 50 bomb types considered into the design? What were the factors for installing the bunker under how many depth? What are the bunker feature packages via prices? Looks like the most reliable bunker.
Older houses built before WW2 don't have one, but every city has sufficient bunker space for every inhabitant. Friends of mine use them as gun storage.
About the escape hatch. What happens if there is a large rain storm? Where does the water go? It looks like it would flood and fill with water. French drain back to where? Such a beautiful, safe, and like minded country! I would rather live there than most parts of the US.
I had such a shelter in 1961 in Viganello, now part of Lugano. Actually the doors were a bit lighter. I remember seeing the instructions to transform the wooden cage system in bedding. In 1967 we moved to a newer house and there we had these same doors as seen here.
Not every home has a shelter in Switzerland but most of them. But there are also public shelters. All together we have shelters for more than the whole population. So tourists don't have to worry.
Reason we don’t have nice things in America is because half the population is living on the dole and is incapable of supporting themselves so they leach off the other half
Just use a ‘standard’ drain grate as sold in your local hardware / building supplies store. Paint inside the ‘chimney’ with a regular black low-sheen paint ( it will age nicely to be an indiscriminate colour). Anyone who bothered to look down the drain is unlikely to see anything in the shadows. Hidden in plain sight.
The door looks like it doesn’t seal on the bottom edge. What does the gasket press up against there? Was there previously a bottom lip in the doorway (like on a navy ship), and they removed it to make the storage space easier to use? 6:33
How can you prevent getting trapped? Say the US is bombed and we want to install a shelter like this. What if heavy material ends up over that grate? Do you have any ideas for an issue like that?
@@lucariolps277 I figured as much my friend, just crazy to think they would degrade the CBRN capabilities of that facility. Instead of piping it into something internal.
They are nuclear shelters to protect against radiations, in case other countries in Europe get nuked. You don't need a direct hit on that country to need shelters there. They would be destroyed by conventional bombs in case of a direct hit anyway.
Well, you are partially correct. I assume you arent familiar with the geography of this area, or the original reason for these. During WW2, they had these built incase of invasion. The problem was, that since they were centralized, they could have been attacked from all sides, so it was necessary to have these in place, for that reason. Also, almost every person there owns a gun, from serving in the military. They can chose to keep the gun at home, or at a central storage area. As for the home bunkers, not every house has one. You can choose to have one, or you can also choose to pay 'rent' on a public shelter.
That hole for the drain pipe next to the emergency exit hatch, not a professional job, needed a metal drain anchored and sealed with a check valve, the bunker has to hold up to an overpressure of at least 1bar (14.5PSI) if it has 20 cm ports (7.87) or 3 bar (43.51PSI) if it has 30 cm ports (11.81) must be watertight and the passages of cables or pipes must be hermetically sealed and resistant to overpressure otherwise it is not NBC!
As far as i can remember if you have the big filter in the loop (filter mode) someone always needs to crank it (so when chemical or biological weapons need to be filtered out). Without the big filter (fresh air mode) you can have breaks in between (can't remember what interval they recommend). For fallout you can run in fresh air mode since the pre-filter should already be removing all the potentially radioactive particles.
Hmm 8 inches of con in the escape hatch door and the an open well. The protective value is only around 16 at best, fallout can fall, no pun intended, down the shaft and collect outside the door, that combined with sky shine makes this arrangement questionable. Your arrangement with the sand shielding at the top of the escape shaft is a definite improvement.
@@денисбаженов-щ1б Sorry but your numbers are way off regarding the protective factors for a normal house in the US, fallout can and probably would fall down the shaft and in an urban enviroment the wind might swirl around and concentrate the particles down the shaft. A cover on the grate would make a big difference with a U shaped air vent. The less radiation exposure the better and this design leaves a lot to be desired.
There are shelters that have an escape tunnel instead of just a chimney. There length is determined by the height of the houses roofline it is built under (in case of collapse). I don't know how they decide whether a chimney or tunnel is built.
You'd think all country's would build em to same spec standard but no not all governments care about their population enough to insist all homes businesses must by law have a reinforced bunker

They're basically a spring loaded or counterweighted one way valve that lets air out at a certain over pressure but not the other way.

Reason we don’t have nice things in America is because half the population is living on the dole and is incapable of supporting themselves so they leach off the other half
The problem isn't that, it's the demo*gra*phic that makes up the vast majority of that group are impulsive and violent.
If that makes you mad, wait until you find out corporate welfare costs us twice as much as social.

@@Bishop228 No, my knowledge of statistics is showing. Keep pretending it's not true though, it's funny seeing Leftists squirm
Are those doors able to prevent nuclear fallout from coming in the shelter?
It would be very easy to cover and block that external vent
Nice tour
Awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Do they have any preps in the shelter or just paperwork?
What happens if chimney gets flooded for a long time? Are there backup systems?
Good content!
I'd have much stronger mesh rebar covering escape chimney
Just use a ‘standard’ drain grate as sold in your local hardware / building supplies store. Paint inside the ‘chimney’ with a regular black low-sheen paint ( it will age nicely to be an indiscriminate colour). Anyone who bothered to look down the drain is unlikely to see anything in the shadows. Hidden in plain sight.
Cant make it too heavy though in case if its ever needed for egress its not too heavy to lift from below by someone infirm or too young.
@@kanedaku yeah. We have grates here made from cast Aluminium. No worries, mate.
What if there's debris on the escape chimney grate?
The door looks like it doesn’t seal on the bottom edge. What does the gasket press up against there? Was there previously a bottom lip in the doorway (like on a navy ship), and they removed it to make the storage space easier to use? 6:33
You can see the removable threshold hung above the door, installed with two large pins.
Do you sell just the air filtration system?
Yes
I noticed that the rubber main door seal at bottom is way above bottom of door frame and as such is not air tight at bottom of door
the door threshold is temporarily dismantled. it hangs over the door…
Look what happen to this ua-cam.com/video/0mqpFfvmAYk/v-deo.html
fantastic show, I am jealous
Great work there
Will you be coming to the uk?
Nice
thats cool as hell
Amazing, one for the books, so interesting the Swiss percision⌚⏰🚄💥Thanks, from The great Southwestern desert 🏜.
That's pretty cool.
How can you run those filtration systems if there's no power"
When are we getting concrete bunker videos?
If your chimney floods.. Does that not cut your air off?
I live in Brisbane, Australia... how much is a kit worth Ron? Do you plan on doing a video of a kit being installed?
How can you prevent getting trapped? Say the US is bombed and we want to install a shelter like this. What if heavy material ends up over that grate? Do you have any ideas for an issue like that?
Yes. 8 ton Hydraulic jack
Soooo that hole drilled into the concrete for the dehumidifier doesn’t compromise the bunker ???
That's not Standard. The one we have dosent have the dehumidifier
@@lucariolps277 I figured as much my friend, just crazy to think they would degrade the CBRN capabilities of that facility. Instead of piping it into something internal.
Cool
I can create this kind of thing in my basement but how do I prevent the house from falling over and blocking off the exits?
Maybe a little but thick concrete roof over the hole thing
> country never gets bombed
> still builds bunkers
That's fun btw.
They are the most preparred country but no one wants to bomb them
They are nuclear shelters to protect against radiations, in case other countries in Europe get nuked.
You don't need a direct hit on that country to need shelters there.
They would be destroyed by conventional bombs in case of a direct hit anyway.
Well, you are partially correct.
I assume you arent familiar with the geography of this area, or the original reason for these.
During WW2, they had these built incase of invasion. The problem was, that since they were centralized, they could have been attacked from all sides, so it was necessary to have these in place, for that reason. Also, almost every person there owns a gun, from serving in the military. They can chose to keep the gun at home, or at a central storage area.
As for the home bunkers, not every house has one. You can choose to have one, or you can also choose to pay 'rent' on a public shelter.
@@Jennifer-un7qo damn.. thanks, didn't know this stuff
Better to have them and not need them than not have them and need them. Better safe than sorry.
That hole for the drain pipe next to the emergency exit hatch, not a professional job, needed a metal drain anchored and sealed with a check valve, the bunker has to hold up to an overpressure of at least 1bar (14.5PSI) if it has 20 cm ports (7.87) or 3 bar (43.51PSI) if it has 30 cm ports (11.81) must be watertight and the passages of cables or pipes must be hermetically sealed and resistant to overpressure otherwise it is not NBC!
Would you do your air pipes like this
Whats the prices on the air systems?
Dec 2021: "The Swiss don't feel like they have a threat from Russia anymore" - That didn't age well!
How long would you need to hand crank (sounds disgusting 😁 ), say per hour or per day, in the event of a power cut?
As far as i can remember if you have the big filter in the loop (filter mode) someone always needs to crank it (so when chemical or biological weapons need to be filtered out). Without the big filter (fresh air mode) you can have breaks in between (can't remember what interval they recommend). For fallout you can run in fresh air mode since the pre-filter should already be removing all the potentially radioactive particles.
Nice shirt king.
should be standard on all homes in the country. With tornados , hurricanes and all that mess it should be mandatory.
Wonder how long of a wait for bomb shelter to be installed?
Can the chimney fill with water to the point where the intake is compromised? Whether by weather or intentional?
The chimney should drain through the rock bed. They also don't build shelter in flood prone areas. Sabotage is not really a design consideration.
@@MXarcx yeah no one is going to be sabotaging your chimney in a nuclear fallout that's all aermecian Hollywood shit
What's the price for a standard swiss bunker like this?
Hmm 8 inches of con in the escape hatch door and the an open well. The protective value is only around 16 at best, fallout can fall, no pun intended, down the shaft and collect outside the door, that combined with sky shine makes this arrangement questionable. Your arrangement with the sand shielding at the top of the escape shaft is a definite improvement.
@@денисбаженов-щ1б Sorry but your numbers are way off regarding the protective factors for a normal house in the US, fallout can and probably would fall down the shaft and in an urban enviroment the wind might swirl around and concentrate the particles down the shaft. A cover on the grate would make a big difference with a U shaped air vent. The less radiation exposure the better and this design leaves a lot to be desired.
There are shelters that have an escape tunnel instead of just a chimney. There length is determined by the height of the houses roofline it is built under (in case of collapse). I don't know how they decide whether a chimney or tunnel is built.
You'd think all country's would build em to same spec standard but no not all governments care about their population enough to insist all homes businesses must by law have a reinforced bunker
not all countries had the same need for these after the war
cool
Hopefully we can have an answer in these comment section. How much did that door, and shelter room cost?
WOW NICE
is it flood and nuclear proof ?
Not flood
