    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 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!

      The VSM is equipped with measuring devices for all of the movements, to have full control of the excavation. During the sinking of the shaft, the shaft lining is suspended by steel cables to the lowering units and these units does as well have integrated measuring devices to have full control while sinking. In addition the VSM is supplied with a vertical measuring system which are monitoring and displaying the verticality of the shaft lining all the time. The combination of the these measuring device ensures a full control of the shaft and the perfect position of the shaft all the time and till the end of the shaft installation.

      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.

    I used to sink shaft years ago. My question is how is this device going to get through ground that is broken up so bad that the boulders are as big as apartment buildings. One little shift of material and the equipment is stuck and no amount of lubricant on the outside of the shaft will be able to allow movement. Love the machine for minimal shaft sinking though.
    Poured the plug on a 3600 foot shaft years ago and this would never have been able to accomplish that depth. Pure sweat and muscle to get the job done.

      The SBR was developed for the mechanized sinking of blind shafts in soft to medium-hard rock with up to 120 MPa and shaft depths up to 1,600 meter (5,250 foot).

      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

    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.

    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

      They can be used as launch and reception shafts for tunnelling operations, access and ventilation shafts for traffic tunnels, or service and access points for all kinds of underground structures and buildings. Furthermore, special solutions such as inner-city, underground parking shafts (underground parking towers) or exploration and ventilation shafts for mining extend the range of applications of these flexible machines
