There is nothing new about this. It has been more used for the past couple of decades, but there are still plenty of situations where drill&blast is still the preferred method.
These have been around for a long time. And these are not used for resource underground mining... Drill and Blast will always be used to chase mineral seams
I don't think so. It uses concrete pre fab pieces that are brought to the site for this purpose. But i hope one day we have a "nuclear powered TBM" on the moon that does this lol 😂
Tunnel boring is not the same thing as mining. Mining is specifically to extract a resource from the Earth while tunnel boring is used to provide transportation for people or materials through the ground.
I worked on a tunnel boring machine in Niagara Falls and if you had a steam engine in there you would die from the fumes especially back in the 1800s, because they didn't have the way to extract or provide the nessary air quality back then to support human life multiple miles underground. The machines today are electrically powered That's why they have TBMs now.
@@jayhopkins6990 Yes, ventilation was a massive problem, which was only solved in the late 1800s/early 1900s, mostly by digging ventilation holes from the above ground. But steam engines underground isn't something new. The London Underground famously opened in 1866, utilizing steam engines. The atmosphere was not pleasant.
I'd be fine if we lived in a world where TBM was the best technology, but can you explain why Norwegian explosives techniques are so good? I mean the Faroe Islands drilled a network of tunnels, the longest of which is 11 km with a population of 50K and this is not a TBM...
The interesting one is the new drone swarm version of this which will blow these out of the water, and they are cause they are small you can go really anywhere without the need for giant equipment
Elon, Please a couple tunnels under the Straits of Mackinac. Pipelines sure, and an option other than that money pit of a bridge. It and you are exposed to such harsh conditions at times. Always remember, four out of five Great Lakes prefer Michigan!
This other video was this British dude and in Europe somewhere allegedly they're using 2, and boring towards each other to connect the tunnels how tf they going to get them out lol back it up??
I don’t understand why we aren’t using these EVERYWHERE now. Once you’ve made the investment in the hardware, these can be used over and over again, probably thru different projects. Pay for themselves over time easily and be the most efficient tunnel bore machines ever.
These have been in use for quite awhile.
uploader has to make money so old is being reused
since 1845!
@@Duijnkiller And he stole the animations from The B1M. ;)
@@badmaniak I think it the animations directly came from the tunnel boring company
Yes....... In minecraft
I worked on a tunnel boring machine in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada in the year 2008 so its not a new technology .

ah, yes, revolutionizing, gotta love 1870s ingenuity
bro this thing 20 yearold by now. i remember seeing it on shows in my childhood.
I'm pretty sure this technology has existed for quite a long time.
reminds me of the cleaners from jim hensons labrinth
It's revolutionizing the way people drill

@daniellysohirka4258I am tired of reading
Thank you for explaining this brother ❤ it's quite informative ❤
Lol I visited the manufacturer (Herrenknecht) that produces these earlier today. Was pretty interesting.
These machines seem so incredible!
Because of the new tunnel's in Vancouver the whole Internet freaks out about TBM's now, its not like they being used for quite a long time now.
Until it gets stuck then they call humans back in at full force.
This is that thing from The Labyrinth.
It’s interesting how similar tunnel bore technology has been developed in Minecraft
I still love how they use Automatic TNT Throwers to dig out large Amounts of Underground Terrain.
Do the tbm use the material it grinds away to replenish the tunnel pieces it installs as it moves forward,like a mobile concrete mold press?
I don't think so. It uses concrete pre fab pieces that are brought to the site for this purpose.
But i hope one day we have a "nuclear powered TBM" on the moon that does this lol 😂
LA politicians never heard of it. That's because they read only 2 papers; "Car Accidents Attorneys Journal" and "Refineries Production Daily News".
How can you steel clips from other channels without giving credit bruh?
Steel?
W this is changed the way that this world has mined saves the environment and helps toxic waste not spread in the air

These have been around over 150 years
No they haven't
@@teddyfresh9605yes they have
@@teddyfresh9605Yes they have. Since the mid 1800s ish. Early models were steam powered.

It reminds me of red wiggler worm 🪱 earthworm
I need this 😎
That technology is decades old. To a gen-z they think this was their idea.

Not only are these not new but they aren’t used for mining at all
Im Germany we have a word for drill: bohren 😎👍
It doesn't look boring to me
Is it possible for it to operate without detection?
I Still Wish it Had a Pointed Spiral 🌀 Head On it Like in the Old Cartoons 😂😂😂
They tryna conquer ba sing sae
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE?? 😃😃😃
I work on one in st louis mo it's like an earthquake all day lol
WE HAVE BEEN TUNNELING UNDER GROUND SINCE THE 1800S LOOK IT UP
They should have named it the tremor
Imagine using this in Minecraft
How about the Thermonuclear tunnel boring machine?
Makes fantastic tunnels but you have to wait 10000 years before you can use it :)
That’s great but I want to mine ABOVE ground
These have been used since the fall off the walls of ba sing se
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS NO WAR IN BA SING SE?? 😃😃😃
@@Davidtheboy4870 yes I guess you right it's technically just an attack on the wall
No doubt TBM is much much safer than underground explosions when tunneling Bt its not easy to work ...

Which 4 do you think are silly enough to prefer Michigan Lol have good night
@@jayhopkins6990 the correct four of course! Thanks for the post.
They had these for the channel tunnel and that was in the 80s. Cool, but not exactly revolutionary.
Irl mechanical worm 👀
Well yes, but it's expensive. I'm working as a blaster and tunnel expert
Can it break bedrock?
Yes, that's what it basically does
Nice
No….I’m not bean!😏
They have ones that vitrifies the tailings and makes the tunnel out of them. Nuclear powered.
Wil l we become the ant people? 😮
lololo but everything they do on top of the land falls apart quite quickly lolololol
It’s a more useful version of the drill from The Core
Don't look nearly as drilly as my Minecraft ones
lemme get a skematic
Not boring isn't it?
Its slower, more costly and need like 60x more people and if it stops or breaks...lets not go down that path
This other video was this British dude and in Europe somewhere allegedly they're using 2, and boring towards each other to connect the tunnels how tf they going to get them out lol back it up??
Falta Chile para Tten Velocidad alta
I've seen these on 10 year old discovery channel documentaries years ago. This is not new.
That's not good for mining making mostly straight tunnels it works great but mining follows seams that is running different directions up and down.
song name?
This is very misleading. They are not revolutionizing anything today. That's like saying cars are revolutionizing transportation.
Ah yes the Deutsche Bahn... they dig even Tunnel systems, yet still they arrive so late that you can Rente beantragen

this isnt new
Been around for like 100 years
Any of yall watched that lego hero factory video bout this shit?
You might have even bean inside one of the tunnels mined out by a TBM.
