Man, whoever came up with these architect ideas are either more ambitious than me on a bad day, or is just crazier than me. I didn't know there was people with bigger kahoonies than me. I'm a crazy guy, i can admit that, but after watching this, i now know there's people worse than me, and i'm quite a crazy and weird guy myself, and that's to put it lightly
I call myself a psychopath 😊and I'm proud of it
24:19 I feel like there is no possible way that this structure would work. Firstly, it would likely cost hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars to just transport the materials to build this thing. Secondly, if a fire started on this building, it would be extremely difficult to extinguish it. Thirdly, if it drifted of course towards the Andes mountains, the bottom of the skyscraper could hit a mountain peak. Fourthly, you can't just add millions of tons of weight to an asteroid and expect nothing about it's orbit to change. Fifthly, this building would have a ton of surface area and thus have a huge chance of getting hit by a chunk of space junk. Finally, what would happen if a hurricane hit the skyscraper?
Cloud city. The destroyer of earth.
I completely agree with everything you are saying. Given that all calculations involved have to be accurate to at least the billionth and the fact that climate change is contributing more and more to hurricanes along the east coast and below, being able to build it and let alone LITERALLY HANG IT FROM ORBIT is never going to be possible.
The Freedom Ship just sounds like a horrendous concept. Freedom to me is away from other humans, not packed like sardines without escape 😮 Liked the NOAH one though, the space hanging skyscraper was hellish sounding and the helter-skelter car drive would do my head in 🎪😂 None of these really appealed to me but fascinating to see what might have been 😊
It wasnt that bad, if u have money thats actually great. It has barely enough for an airport. u can literally jump in the ocean if theres no dangerous animals in the area. oceanic activities would be regular like water surfing, speed boating. U can also take a jet a fly over the ocean.
Regarding the Manhattan dome, has anybody ever held a magnifying glass to an ant or piece of paper? The glass concentrates heat, therefore making things really hot for anybody underneath it. With the thing being a dome the heat will have nowhere to go. And then there’s the impact on plant and animal life. In the long run, it would do more damage than good. On top of that, imagine how much repairs would cost lol.
when i grow up i also want to be an engineer designining insane megaprojects if i can😃
i hope your dreem comes true!
Yeah and good luck of ruining of this already messed up ecosystem if it comes true
20:24 Atomic powered elevators,because of course
You forgot to include Leonardo Da Vinci’s Bronze Horse, a giant horse statue commissioned by the Duke of Milan in the late 1400s.
Still love this channel
14:52 YOUR MAJESTY THERE'S A SECOND BUS COMING
The Freedom ship was a con game, with the "backers" of the project selling space on it BEFORE it was built... and investigations proved not only that this wasn't being built anywhere in any shipyard in the world, but the "Backers" hadn't even ordered the massive engines needed to move this monstrosity (The specialized engines were built by only a few specialized construction companies, and took a year to build.... and THESE companies had never heard of or ever been contacted by the "Backers" of this project.), nor had contracted with the specialized shipyards capable of making anything this big.
They hadn't even bought the materials needed to begin building it. Those behind it were subsequently arrested and charged with fraud as they couldn't show this ship being built anywhere in the world.
12:18 be amazed, Jay told us this story a few months ago and also THE GIANT PYRAMID OF DEATH
Interestingly, I didn't find the death pyramid price "THAT" expensive in today's prices. I mean you made comparisons to The Shard... And interestingly, the price mentioned it exactly the same as the cost of The Shard.
Now it was ugly - although would have taken very very very few adjustments to look iconic.
Hi sir I am Eren Jaeger and I am from South Africa and I have a revenge story.
In December 2022 we went on a middle school excursion to play paintball. There were rules like we had to stay 10 meters away to shoot our opponents because those bullets left a mark even from far away. So my classmate Ron shot his opponent Alex in the ear at a close distance, even though he was wearing a helmet he still got temporary hearing loss and required medical attention. My male teacher really liked Alex and got angry at Ron.
He and Ron went into the arena and he gave Ron a chance to run away before he got shot, so Ron began run but before he got away, he got shot in the back from 4 meters away. Ron was crying and everyone was laughing, even the teachers!!!He had no medical attention and needed tons of ice to heal.😂😂😂😂
Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work
Me too!
me 3
Love your channel u just earned another sub and I'll share
Yea the Be amazed mountain sounds so good and cool I think lol
14:58 YOU'RE MAJESTY THERE'S A SECOND BUS COMING!!
Adam Something has taught me to always be distrusting of megaprojects, no matter how cool they look at first glance
Analema Tower Drop would be like Operation British but smaller in size.Also damn Can Architects never come up with sane structure ?
I love the way he talks

not a flex 😅 to me it just seem that you need to something to do 😂
@@protoni6996I did.
I was here at four minutes but then couldn't finish it sadly at that time
Gods honest truth. Years ago, I had a few dreams of rotating houses and living in one. They were on a consistent slow rotation all day every day. One full rotation that took 24 hrs to complete. You could look out the window in the morning and see your neighbors house and look out the same window before bed and see the ocean.
Why do we need school if we have BE AMAZED but really dude i like your videos im subscribed😊😊😊
All your videos are amazing and very entrusting. After them I'm Amazed!
Their videos put me to sleep in a good way
i love them
To quote the Professor in The Fifth Element, "This is really amazing." 👀

24:05 imagine that animation in real life 😂
I don't know why, but I always wanted to stay in that flying hotel they were thinking of building
Lol
I still wonder what would happen if a hurricane hit it. Or if the top of the tower got hit by a piece of space junk. Or how they would get people in and off that thing. Or how they would build it. Or what would happen if it caught fire. Or what would happen if a window on one of the top floors broke. Or what would happen if it got blown off course and towards the Andes mountains, with some peaks exceeding 11,000 ft. Or how inertia alone would stop the whole thing from crashing down. Or what would happen if there was an explosion near the top of the tower. Or...
Just how were they planning to get on and off the flying building
My 4 year old love loves your videos its all she wants to watch. She loves the lil guy and all the faces he makes. I tried to send the pic showing we subscribed to you're Spotify podcast but it wont let me 🤷
We could actually build multiple freedom ships today, it would just take a lot of time and be very expensive
They could have built them when they were conceived, but the whole concept was really dumb then and it hasn't gotten any smarter.
@@megachonk9440ships have got a lot bigger, but there's no market for a trillion dollar ship that size. There's no port big enough to assemble it in, no engines large enough to power it, the 100,000 houses, and their airport.
The GIANT PYRAMID OF DEATH! 🤘 is back
Product of earth,❤ mans mind
Personally the only mega project/s possible are man made islands or more specifically expanding smaller islands.
Anybody want a plush toy of the Be Amazed mascot? I would definitely buy one... or ten.
It's so cute, I'd buy it too
1:18 wonder of the seas isn’t the biggest cruise ship. It is icon of the seas
The 300 trillion dollar math was funny thou😂😂❤
Came back after not watching for a year or two and it had changes so little but also so much
Well, that sphere got built anyway, maybe not as Laboulaye planned. It is in Las Vegas. It is a very large spherical billboard. Sometimes even just showing an emoji that makes it look like a sleeping sun. 😴
The freedom ship looks like the Axiom from wall-e
Just know there's someone out here who really gets a little chuckle out of your jokes.
Here was me on my way to bed, then there's a new be amazed video to watch and now its 2am
5:09 well if they build 10 of it then they are saved, (yes it's expensive but they'll be safe)
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.
This guy seems more tired then the last time I listened in 2022, still love his videos!
This is ai generated actually
The dome over Manhattan you could finance easily by selling fresh, breathable air to all the folks who lives unter that thing
It would be like the Lorax movie and O'hare Air.
Do moreDarwin awards, please!
2:43 I was shocked to see footage from the mlp eq special “spring breakdown”
Just holding my nokia brick
Another insane megaproject that was never built was Airliner Number 4. It was a large, amphibious, V-shaped passenger plane with 9 floors that was planned by Norman Bel Geddes and Otto A. Koller in the early 30s, and like the Freedom Ship, it was too expensive to build.
I absolutely love the NOAH project and think it would be awesome for the whole city to be rebuilt like that next time it's destroyed.
I love it!!
If done right the death pyramid would just basically be a giant compost bin
I doubt anyone would use the compost for their garden, though.
A shame they weren’t built
Attaching a sky scraper to an asteroid is an extremely wild thing to do, there are several ways it can go wrong, the asteroid may get attracted to the earth and smash onto cities making hazardous mess, the height is unbelievable to be true, thats crazy
hope you ceap up the good work!
the bigger the tower is the harder it falls
The Newton cenotaph would have no hungry people in it, because it was full of pi...
I'll get my coat.
I love his vids
Here before 100,000 viewers and first day tickets ‘ere! Get’em ‘ere! O’er ‘ere ‘Ere!
0:29 One of the later versions of SimCity done by the Maxis company, you can build some of these hypothetical arcologies in the city for high costs.
i think sometime in the future some of the crazy ideas going to get built
Interesting discoveries.
I love these facts and the vids
Someone's probably mentioned it already, but with the Phare Du Monde, I would have thrown up from driving in so many circles to get up there in the first place. And if that's their idea of making room for lunch, I'm out!
THE WAY HE PRONOUNCED ILLINOIS 😂😂😂
What about the Space Elevator and Space Ring Hotel?
Another good one!👍
Things in this video that would be cool to have:
Freedom Ship
Tatin Tower (Just because of the silly design and silly name)
SPACE SPHERE
Regarding 20:40, if an elevator got to 60mph and reached a floor a mile up in one minute, that would kill everyone on board and then catapult their corpses into the ceiling of the elevator.
Ascending 1 mile in 1 minute at 60mph means the elevator would have to start at and stop from 60mph instantly with no time to accelerate or decelerate.
Realistically, it's entirely possible that an elevator *couldn't* hit 60mph in that short of a span without causing a noteworthy amount of discomfort in its passengers. If it did hit that speed, it would only be for 10 or so seconds at best. The rest of the time would be accelerating and decelerating at rates that didn't make passengers violently ill.
Can you do a video about wild cats from big to small or a spiders and snakes in Australia ?
ummmmm...
This should be the future for 2024
It’s funny people talk about building a Dyson Sphere and yet building a floating space spike literally costs 3x the money on earth lol.
When are you going to do more riddles I really miss them 😢😢:(
Claim your "here within an hour" ticket here!
got one
Got one
im here just barely arived
Got one.
Here before this gets famous
Some of these are simply, still in the design stages. Only matter of time of research and material and evolution. these particular structures may inspire other similar structures to be made.
That's awesome 👍
The Analemma Tower is by far the most jaw dropping and I am from the Chicagoland area
Make the be amazed statue
Before 1 hour gang come claim yo lemon 🍋

Herccan Lora hit new Orleans hard in 2020
23:37 hey be amazed it's 2 minutes
I don't know but, some of these Megaprojects should uhm, you know, stay at the concept department.
The 15 second army⬇️
Not to be rude but didn't some of these were already presented in previous videos of the same topic?
10 minute army
👇👇
Is it just me or does BE AMAZED thumbnails change
They do, it's just to get more gullible people to click, thinking it's a new video
@@mirthenary but how do they change
5:03, probably because they realized it would drift into buildings in floods
The Manhattan dome could've prevented 9/11
I'm curious on how truck drivers will deliver stuff to these stores 😂. Especially the floating skyscraper hanging from asteroid
Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
I Aldo lo e them so much
Sorry
I also love them so much
It makes me feel like I am there and your cute round white character
@@MinatoNamikaze-rs1mu Lol., no problem. He does make it come to life.
Main reason because of the costs,you can’t just think you can afford everything because you had to work hard but safety issues and legal issues are also in same reason why
The Icon of the Sea sets sail next year. That ship will be the biggest cruise ship ever built. It is also owned by the same company the Wonder of the Sea is owned by.
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Dude who ever thought it, was it good idea to hang a building from space LOL
The simian brain of humans
How do you move into the suspended 300 mph moving skyscraper?
Ive got one. A school that isnt falling apart
That 25 story floating city may would have cost 11 billion dollars but if that had been split between the 1 million people that could live on it would have only been 11 thousand dollars per person. It is affordable.
It amazes me that most of these plans are so unrealistic at the time of the idea being made. But the further into the future we get, the more possible and realistic they become.
Like the freedom ship for example. If a cruiser company makes enough money and the UN is willing for it, this thing could easily be made. And using things like modern Magnetism and other methods, it could easily float on the water! This thing is even closer to reality than anything has ever been!
I personally think that if Elon Musk or Steve Jobs was bored enough, this thing could easily be made and used to house hundreds of thousands of people!
I missed the dutch Mountain.
Yep in Holland people where working on a actual couple km high mountain ⛰️ to build😂
So you can go skiing and snowboarding in a country bellow sea level.
Sounds like old Vladamir wanted to build a new Tower of Babel!! With nauseating rotations!!
I wouldn’t want to see any of them built. I’m on a strict budget that doesn’t allow for such frivolous things to be put up.
