Fun story about that. I work at a power plant, much smaller than this one. Our ID fan is run on a 400hp motor. Anyway during an outage we were working in the baghouse inlet duct while the fan was running, the dampers were closed but there was still a very strong draft. I bumped heads with my coworker and his hardhat came off but the wind was still so strong his hat never fell to the floor, it was carried suspended mid air all the way to the partially open damper and thrown down into a hopper never to be seen again.
Definitely 6000. The power of a locomotive pales in comparison to some of the equipment used in the power generation industry. The house loads that some of the big plants draw to run their own equipment can be enough to power a decent sized city. This is likely an ID fan on a big boiler, probably one of the biggest prime movers in that plant behind the feedwater pump motor
@@loudsonicbug2195 Its fake, Thats is a 500 hp motor on a mine air shaft I have been there before Not 6000 hp like it says. A 6000 hp motor would be as big as a house
This looks to be some sort of exhaust fan for a mine or something, idk what power it is but I’m going to guess around 1MW. An average wind turbine produces 2.5MW. So no, it does not use as much power as two large wind turbines, you got your math or whatever you did wrong.
depends on the ID fan, but no your wrong. a 6000hp ID fan like this will consume about 4megawatts at full load (its a 6000hp induction motor..and are usually never driven to full load.) I know of a 750kw Id fan and it draws little under a half megawatt. Math adds up. sorry bruh
WHO PAINTED THAT AND WHY SO AWFUL. MY MOM WORKS AT TAMPA BAY HOOTERS AND THIS IS BELOW THEIR STANDARDS. MIGHT I SUGGEST A NICE FLUORESCENT SATURATED ORANGE
I guess massive fan start ups are the new trending page favourite.
Can you imagine having a 6000hp vacuum cleaner. Your whole house ends up in the bag. 😂
The whole city gets sucked up too…might live inside it since youve got all the supermarkets, trees, parks, malls and schools

@@jesse4149 those things move MASSIVE amounts of air, I completely agree
This is more powerful, more satisfying sounding and more interesting to WATCH than a 2020 F1 car! 'º_ºˋ
yes, this sound, this performance and then also the size, only in yellow would be even more beautiful ;-)
Sorry menzel, your startup videos are low intertia no load. Show us angry pixies ;) huge inertia loads and and an amp meter

Dont let the playstation thermal engineers see this 😅
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
that much power doesnt need huge rpm, 1200 might be its limit
the only way you'd get me to drive an electric car is if you gave me on that sounded like this whilst accelerating
And we have lift off!
Starts fast and hard
I want that motor in my car
That looks like a blower assembly for a big steam generator...

Where was this at it at a power plant?

Is this a ring engine? show the starting rheostat
Fan looking pretty sus

So this thing is Stronger than an EMD SD40-2 a GE ES44AC and the EMD DDA40X Locomotive?
Press X to doubt
Well electric is available up to 100,000 HP, and for special applications like pump storage electricity generation, it's 500,000+ HP.
It may have a lot of power, but not even close to the torque
@@elliotcapson3101 It's all about gearing. And electric motors do have a fuckton of torque.

Where’s the fan???🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐...is it that greenish looking thing? If the 1/zone behind it that’s a little bigger or so?🤔
Its below
by the looks of it, the striped grey 'building' in the back is actually a *huge* duct , and the shaft is just below
Why would you need a 6000 horsepower fan?
Mine ventilation?
pmgodfrey oh, good point
I helped wire up 2 11,000 hp ID fans that took the exhaust out of a boiler at a powerhouse and sent it through a scrubber and up the smoke stack.
So 6000 Hp, 746watts = 1 Hp I think I am missing voltage to calculate current then cost....
@@ryanfisher6402 At these power levels it's mostly likely 4,160 volt, 3-phase.
Only 4000hp?
That’s still more than 6x what an average car makes
@@theaverageblitzer4351 more like 20-25

So you are saying that this thing uses as much power as 2 large wind turbines produce.

@@mememan8704 idk what power it is... Literally says 6000HP in the title, which is roughly 4411kW, which is 4,4 MW.
correct, an ID fan like this would use anywhere from 2-4megawatts. (not lying, do the math.)

No way that's 6k HP!
It would twist that steelwork for starters.

Have you ever heard of a bearing?
@@jesse4149 don't believe in bearings. Bearings are a conspiracy and they don't exist
