Can I borrow your machine once in a while to dig some holes for fun too? I used to dig holes in my backyard just because I liked holes. This machine will make the job much easier.
this is a very well made sales demonstration indeed. missing a few infos of interest. if i where in the constructoin field id love to visit a site with this equipment in action. so fluid animations from a technicians 3d program are not all that easy with all the components seen in this video. heck i spend a few days just making the assembly video for my examination back in the days. and it was passable at best by the standards we see today XD
This looks like a 21st century adaptation of Marc Brunel's (father of Isambard Kingdom Brunel) technique for sinking two 50ft diameter vertical shafts in 1825 during the construction of the Thames Tunnel. A cast iron ring is laid out and the soil was dug out from within the ring by navvies. As the material was removed it could no longer support the ring, which had cutting edge at its base, so the ring slowly sank. As it progressed down bricklayers constructed the shaft on top of the iron ring. The art was not to stop its progress downward to prevent the surrounding soil settling and gripping the shaft and preventing it going down further.. The Thames Tunnel is still in use today, its dimensions being large enough it is used for London Overground train services.
I was part on the team that sank in the late 70’s at North Shelby in UK. North Selby Mine was started in November 1979 and completed in July 1986 with a shaft depths of 1032m (No1) and 1045m (No2). Whitemoor Mine was started in February 1980 and completed in June 1985 with a shaft depths of 931.6m (No1) and 941.7 (No2).
I am not in construction, but the information contained in this video really brings to light a genius design. If I was in building tunnels and shafts, this thing would be my first pick, for it's mobility and what looks to me is a extremely smart design. All components serve a function and can be easily replaced, moved or supplemented. There is no wasting time and very few people are needed to making this work. As well as the ability of separating and cleaning the dirt, that's very cool! Genius!
What a clean shot to cascade one layer of RCC, over other and sank it, I feel blessed that I have done civil engineering. There are so many wonderful machines made by humans, yet to be explored by me.
as a technician i really understand you. it is somewhat satisfying to find these machines and seeing them demonstrated. even better when you had no idea they existed
I'm pretty sure this was engineered and innovated, not invented. Maybe a few components were invented to be patented, but most of the machine probably can't be patented.
This system of sinking vertical shafts was done by Marc Brunel (Isambard's father) in 1825 for works on the Thames Tunnel, obviously the digging was done by hand in those days. Using a cast iron ring with a cutting edge at the base of the shaft, the shaft walls being of brick. As the shaft sank the bricklayers built new courses on top.
I won't buy this for my little garden (5x7 meters...) for sure 😀, but this was really a very interesting piece of technology to watch. Thanks an good luck, guys!
Foundation work uses a smaller version with a Soilmech excavator equipt with a Kelly bar. Steel casing instead of prefab concrete than it can be removed if called for and reused. Concrete piling with steel rebar is Tremme poured to exclude ground water.
I've been digging holes like that in the beach for sandcastle purposes for years now, but I have been doing it with a shovel. I want to upgrade my technique with some technology. What are your recommendations for vertical shaft digging tools that are human-powered?
Another application could be below-grade placement of nuclear power plants, instead of containment buildings that are above-ground. I note the current upper limit of 18 m on diameter, but maybe the new generation of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) could be designed to fit within this constraint.
HerrenknechtAG, thanks for this video! This technology would be great for siting neighborhood modular nuclear reactors. Imagine a carbon-clean gas reactor serving your neighborhood with power and heat for 15 years without refueling.
Skip the thermoneucular and go right to groundwater based geothermal to service several users, using renewable greenpower for the electricness...the cheapest way to generate electricness. Plus, there are no lingering problems (many years of human generated radioactive type poisons). What's there not to like, unless you are a big or little corporate socialist capitalist .It's all here right now, and is very scalable as to size. IMHO.
Consider looking up Abilene Christian University Molten Salt Research Reactor - < 15 months to construct building with no special equipment. I do not believe it will take that long to construct these on small scale deployments. Please consider reviewing the following on youtube: Vertical Tunneling Boring - Vertical Shaft Sinking Machine (VSM) - 1-5 Meters per day - GE Steel Bricks - - Reactor Pressure Vessel is < 2.5 inches - here is an example of tech to manufacture stainless steel for nuclear - Holtec Discovery channel ... (I know this is not an RPV but an excellent example of how it could be done.) - Welding - local vacuum electron beam welding - Small Modular reactor
So whats to prevent this kind of system from boring down through the crust? Seems to me it should be able to continue on until it hits magma since its covered in water.
Try digging on my property. I'm halfway down a volcano mountain that erupted over 100 years ago. The soil is embedded with lava rocks from hand size to as big as a small car. Digging around here with a hand shovel is absolutely impossible. I have a 35,000lb Case D1150 dozer/backhoe that the backhoe struggles to dig a hole. My son hit one of those big boulders, had to dig around it and then use the 4 yard [1 yard is 3ft cubed] bucket to push/lift it out and move it into the forest. It must have weighed as much as a GMC Duramax crew cab truck.
For vertically-launched missiles, there are cold launch systems that use gas from a separate gas generator (this gas can still be a few hundred degrees hot, but is cold compared to the rocket exhaust) to push the missile out of the launch tube, and it only ignites its engine once it is fully clear of the tube.
Pretty cool technology. When I win the lottery and I want to build my dream doomsday home, I know who to call. A giant silo in the ground with a yurt on top to disguise it! Yeah, baby!
good question. it got a very nice animation flow and high quality textures as i remember them from our technincal 3d programs in technical school. just more fluid and able to animate much more at the same time

Wow, this is a hell of an operation.
complicated and expensive. I wonder how dip it can reach.
I admit, my shaft sinking equipment is quite minuscule compared, to this well endowed steel beast.
As long as it reaches the bottom of the hole is all that matters.
@@larrykeenan598 Most don’t like when you reach the bottom.
@@klincecum it depends on the way you bore the shaft in and at what pressure. and it may vary depending on the ground type too.
Does it rhyme to flash light?

Hi check online M. Brunel was one the first ones to test a new "modern" underground approach under the Thames River.

The Thames Tunnel and the vertical access shafts were done by Marc Brunel, Isambard's father. Isambard was 18 at the time.
I built something like this in Space Engineers to mine with.
I'll be doing the exact same for my auto bunker system, haha
All those decommissioned US nuclear underground silo's flooded shortly . . doing stuff underground has issues

I know this is basically an infomercial but I can't help finding it interesting.
That's neat. You can put a rocket silo in downtown N.Y.C.
Hey HerrenknechtAG! Is this suitable to house my ICBM? Will the shaft walls withstand the high temperature rocket exhaust?
If we fill shaft with water, than it can withstand higher temperatures, infact during a launch they too uses water to dissipate hight temperature.
For vertically-launched missiles, there are cold launch systems that use gas from a separate gas generator (this gas can still be a few hundred degrees hot, but is cold compared to the rocket exhaust) to push the missile out of the launch tube, and it only ignites its engine once it is fully clear of the tube.
didnt expect to see this, but its interesting
very useful for those times when you need to sink a shaft
