You guys 'ROCK'. No shouting, no gimmicks, no American Sitcom cliches, no stupid facial expressions, no insulting our intelligence. Just quality information, given in everyday language. Thank you.
It truly escapes my understanding that someone could dislike such an educational video like this. If you don't like engineering and architecture, why watch it in the first place?
w2 No Hong Kong? :( We just faced the worst typhoon in history yesterday, would've been cool to get a mention of HK's skyscrapers facing these winds. Nonetheless, great video though!
I'm always blown away by the San Francisco skyscraper collection. When I moved there in the 80's there was the Bank of America tower and the TransAmerica pyramid. Not much of anything south of Market Street. Salesforce Tower is 20 stories taller. Yes the Bay area is Super windy, it is a notch in the coastal mountains that funnels cool air into the hot interior of the state which acts like a giant chimney. Today I was getting some plywood as while tying it to the roof rack the wind flipped one edge up and snapped the 1/8" panel
Wellington, New Zealand is the windiest city in the world with an annual average around 16 knots/hr (18 miles/hr). Wellington is located in what is known as a River of Wind, a wind corridor between the South and North Islands of New Zealand. On average, the city sees 173 days above 32 knots and 22 days over 40 knots. Wellington is a great place to travel though, and it was named the Lonely Planet’s 4th Best Destination in 2011. Any city that experiences hurricanes would qualify, though.
I reckon Wellington in NZ. When taking the ferry to Picton on some days it hurts to face the wind, not to mention windy conditions making the already cold environment a good 10°C cooler.
Great video. I thought it may be boring but it was fascinating. So professional, even to the point of claiming the tallest building in the world "at time of filming." So responsible... UA-cam is littered with old videos that have claims that aren't correct with little way of knowing what age they are.
"The tallest building in the world 'at the time of filming" is surely correct. Sometime in the near future I'm sure we can see a structure even taller than the Burj Khalifa.
I love your videos. The tallest buiding in my city is 54 stories. I have been to the top of it on a open day and you feel yours ears "pop" when you go up the lift. People I talked to said they feel the building move on windy days.
at 3:06 where it shows the wind pushing the building, the building is shown to sway in the direction of the wind although this actually isn’t how a building reacts to wind. due to the vortex shedding the building actually sways in a perpendicular direction from the wind, so if the wind was blowing this way on a building 💨→◾️ (from birds eye view) it would generally cause the building to sway this way ↑↓. This diagram explanis it: physicstoday.scitation.org/action/showOpenGraphArticleImage?doi=10.1063/1.3490510&id=images/medium/1.3490510.figures.f1.gif
Damn just like a year ago this channel has 10k subs. The quality and presentation of the quality information stands out from almost all other UA-cam channels.
Wow - thank you so much for your feedback!! 👍👍 It took us 3 years to get 10K, then another 9 months to get 100K. Now just 2 months later we have almost 200K. It’s crazy how the pace can pickup on UA-cam. When Casey Neistat hit 10M he said that his first 10K was the hardest. So far we’d definitely agree.
This is really interesting and reminded me of Bridgewater Place in Leeds where the engineers didn't quite get it right first time... but engineering solutions are helping to mitigate the effects now.
We never give the structural engineers enough credit always try to get a credit to the architect, architects could not stand alone and Structural Engineers should be given most of the credit
I stayed at a place in Melbourne Australia on a holiday on the 69th floor. You could feel it move and HEAR it crunching so much we had to leave it was so horrible. Even the elevator was screaming so loud it was one of the worst experiences of my life
All these monuments to human aspiration and the wind of change still smacks against their breakers. Yet the leaning tower of Pisa still pendulates with the sardonic smile of the Italian banker. None of this will ever top Italy. The fresher and safer you keep your mind the more you remember this. The Colgate building in Chicago, the Intercontinental hotel and the three graces of Liverpool and Shanghai all waft disdain towards that which came after. I am a fan of these super skyscrapers. Nothing outdoes the originals.
Yes, I was definitely "blown away" by this video. Never knew that one of the major reasons why some skyscrapers looked so cool was to address the wind factor. It's nice to know that, at my age, I can still learn something.
I was in a skyscraper that swayed heavily with the wind. The staff insisted that it was safe, but i was having none of it. I was freaking out when it affected my balance.
Buildings that have viscous dampers don't have that problem. Mexico had a big earthquake and a building that has giant viscous dampers did not move at all, the office workers did not fell a thing.
@The B1M, would you do a video on whether or not the building in the movie "Skyscraper" would be possible to build? The height, shape, wind turbines, garden/park center, helo pad, etc.
Rich Truscott I think we now have the technology to build such a building, It is actually a great looking building, I think the filmmakers hired a real architect to design it!
This is one of the few videos I've seen where the paid endorsement actually added to the quality and interest of the content. Well done!
Phew! Thanks :-)
Great solution for taming the wind, just need to solve the problem of shadows.
There was a payed endorsement?
You guys 'ROCK'. No shouting, no gimmicks, no American Sitcom cliches, no stupid facial expressions, no insulting our intelligence. Just quality information, given in everyday language. Thank you.
The production quality is absolutely amazing. Thank you for another excellent video
Thank you for such great feedback!!
Another gem from this channel!
True!
Thank you SO much!
@@TheB1M
Most welcome !
I'm not an architect but this content is very interesting and brief. Brilliant video as always.
Thank you SO much, that really means a lot to us.
They tame the wind with structural racism
Architect is fun to watch
Not to do....
Engineer*
the is how ads should work man, incorporating them seamlessly to the vid, I didn't even notice. such an amazing video!! likeeee
Could you imagine being so hateful that you have to dislike an informative video!
Don't mind the stupid haters.
Unfortunately freedom in the USA includes the freedom to be proudly ignorant and stupid.
It truly escapes my understanding that someone could dislike such an educational video like this.
If you don't like engineering and architecture, why watch it in the first place?
Let me just say this to the “the open minded people “is not about hate is about content.
@@christinachaplin2303 it's not just the U.S.A. .... unfortunately this is a worldwide phenomenon as there are many, many free Countries.
You just keep turning out quality stuff. Thanks.
Thank you so much!! It's because our amazing fans keep watching :-)
Y'know , if we each tell 10 people , *ONE* will have then sense to listen and Sub .

Hello brother
the longer these videos the better, wow... absolutely amazing those structures
This channel is brilliant! You guys deserve so many more subscribers.
Thank you!! Please spread the word!
eyyy tito
I am blown away LOL
timmmahhhh We all see what you just did there!!

Thank You!!
So what are your opinions on European traditional architecture then? Do you guys find it beautiful and elegant or do you find it ugly?
You’re telling me this was an Ad? Well played!
The last shot of this video, just before the outro, looks so sick. It's like an actual video from blade runner
Guangzhou, China
Haha - we said EXACTLY the same thing in our office! It's awesome!!
This is the kind of content i will rewatch in 5 years and be amazed how far the technology and architecture has achieved in the next 5 years
This is my favorite UA-cam channel.
Thank you so much - that really means a lot to us! :-)
Thank you for not wasting my time. I learned something new.
It's hard to see such quality video appearing on youtube nowadays. Keep up the good work and you deserve way more subscribers!
How is it possible that you always find the most interesting subjects? Thank you very much! + I love you accent :-)
Which is the city with the strongest winds? This is Very Interesting! Thanks for sharing!
i love B1M
NEW YORK CITY! Great Video!

Chicago is still windy by that lake.
I reckon Wellington in NZ. When taking the ferry to Picton on some days it hurts to face the wind, not to mention windy conditions making the already cold environment a good 10°C cooler.
Man, the Taipei 101 is such an awesome building!
101: basic block building - this is the only class the architect attended.
Great video. I thought it may be boring but it was fascinating. So professional, even to the point of claiming the tallest building in the world "at time of filming." So responsible... UA-cam is littered with old videos that have claims that aren't correct with little way of knowing what age they are.
"The tallest building in the world 'at the time of filming" is surely correct. Sometime in the near future I'm sure we can see a structure even taller than the Burj Khalifa.

I like being forced to watch THREE commercials before the video. Thanks, UA-cam for keeping it really reall-y!
I dont know how I came across this channel but im diggin the content

@@TheB1M you're welcome
Discovered your channel yesterday! So many interesting videos!!
Well done guys!
Excelent video!!! I love the ingenierie!! Greetings from Argentina!
They _bear_ with the wind. Taming the wind would require a whole new set of skills for the building and we're not quite there yet...
Wow, that knock the wind right out of me
I need the answer of this question in Fluid mechanics, found the video 🙂
This is a brilliant video. I wounder if more focus can be given to designs that counter rising temperatures and climate change. Well done and thanks.
shoutout my Aussie brathas
Wow... This is amazing... 😍😍
Guangzhou 9:08!!
thank you, I was wondering where that is, looks like it just got ripped straight out of 2119
This video is highly educational. Thank you Fred Mills.
You are more than welcome :-)

viscus dampers
Thank you for using meters
Wow - - thanks for posting this!
Perfect timing too - - I was just studying/contemplating this topic.
Did any else get assigned to watch this for science online school?
I stayed at a place in Melbourne Australia on a holiday on the 69th floor. You could feel it move and HEAR it crunching so much we had to leave it was so horrible. Even the elevator was screaming so loud it was one of the worst experiences of my life
Cool! What's the hotel called? ☺️
That building needs viscous dampers
I’ve notice this channel repeats its self many times.
Great video!!
Could you make a video on the CN tower in Toronto please?
No.
Thanks for your work!
You’re welcome! 👍
great examples used in this video
Great video and very interesting topic!
Thank you for such a good video:)
Thank you for such a great comment!
I'm a physicist, so when you broke out the vortex simulations you had me
Was in the St Louis Arch you could feel it swaying. Freaked me out a little.
Excellent video, super informative.

This is why it’s always like a hurricane around 20 Fenchurch Street in London!
great work. Congrats

Extremely informative video.
Love your information density

Appreciate this informative,educational video.✌💛
This is so impressing and engaging. The video quality is astounding and full of variety. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
That's a good stuff to know ...for today
Awesome video :P
What is that city at the very end at night? Stunning.
"blown away by this video" cheeky👍
I'm not impressed by the need to build higher buildings. It's a challenge for engineers but it's always caused by the narcism of ground owners.
I barely noticed the paid content. Amazing video. Keep 'em coming.
Great great video. Why wind turbine are not efficient on tall building?
Great find.
Kind of makes me feel like building a tall building.
Go for it. What could go wrong.
Awesome and informative
@The B1M, would you do a video on whether or not the building in the movie "Skyscraper" would be possible to build? The height, shape, wind turbines, garden/park center, helo pad, etc.
Rich Truscott I think we now have the technology to build such a building, It is actually a great looking building, I think the filmmakers hired a real architect to design it!
Well at least someone has thought of wind turbines at the top. Future high buildings should have it as standard.
Great stuff!
Nothing beats unstable geology
Is there no way to harness the energy of the wind flowing through the tops of the skyscrapers?
So basically skyscrapers mess up the weather
mind blowing informative video
Dampers also see heavy use in Japan where they are a perfect counter measure to earthquakes and other seismic activity.
