#Dam #Canberra - Наука та технологія
In an past job of mine I had the privilege of getting to adjust valves and gates on a smaller dam we have in our area(probably same length as this one, just not as tall). A lot of it was turning giant manual wheels and you and whoever you were with would take turns cranking on them for minutes to fully open them up. Good workout.
I wonder how come they didn't get the idea to have a small turbine to operate the gates.
😂 “it is freezing here”, always forget we are in reverse…. ( greeting from Netherlands 🇳🇱 EU… summertime! ☀️)
It's still spring.
@@Okurka. yep your right, summertime between my ears 😂
Well, not quite freezing as the water was in liquid form. :D
Sluice (pron. Sloose) is a Dutch word for a channel controlled at its head by a movable gate.
Sluice isn't a Dutch word at all.
It comes from Middle English sluse, alteration of scluse, from Anglo-French escluse, from Late Latin exclusa, from Latin, feminine of exclusus, past participle of excludere.
Either way, it rhymes with use. For a more poetic form,
One should not clog
Intellect’s sluices
With bits of knowledge
Of questionable uses!
The 'water stoppers' are called dentates.
I'll be in Canberra Aug 5th for the Australian Repair Summit.
I've long been facinated by the engineering that ges into dams and flood control, thanks for the little squiz!
I genuinely enjoy your little travel/outing blogs
Surely Questacon is on your bucket list when in Canberra, loved that joint as a young kid.
I think it's winter time in Australia now and I wonder did Sydney ever snow?
@EEVBlog2 Correct pronunciation of Sluice is like Loose preceded by an 'S' . The power of water driven by gravity is impressive. My grandfather used to work for the Hydro Electric Board here in Scotland and I was lucky enough to accompany him inside a few hydro electric dams when I was a nipper. Learned a lot about generation and distribution of power from him and the other engineers which drove me forward to learn more. The outflow from a dam looks very pretty but it is incredibly dangerous. Respect nature and never under estimate the power of water, just look at how gravity driven water has carved rock over time and formed the landscape we live in !
Great footage always been fascinated with dams 👍👍👍👍😁
"... holding back Lake Burley Griffin...". But as Prof. Julius Sumner Miller has asked, how large ("thick") would the dam have to be if there were only 10 m of water behind the wall? Or 1 m? Remember that the pressure exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density ρ is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation p = ρgh, where g is the gravitational acceleration.
If the damn dam breaks... damn! : )
I live near wivenhoe... you should see the awesome volume of water when they are fully open!
It is hot as Hell, here in Houston!
Interesting engineering for sure!
Hi Dave, will you be doing a tear-down? 🤔😆
It looks like there are locking pins on the top of the gates, so the hydraulic rams would have to push up first, before lowering.
This is the real behind the scenes
The Diffrence Between The Top And bottom release is. The bottom release Oxygenates the water. Blasting it into the air adds oxygen.
If I ever go there I will fix the Umlauts on "Rheinstahl Union Brückenbau"😉
According to this (www.nca.gov.au/attractions/scrivener-dam# ) the 3 sluice gates, 2 of which were open, are capable of 56 cubic meters/second. That would be 6.72 megaliters/min, if my math is correct (56l)*(1000l/m^3)*(2 gates)*(60s/min) = 6,720,000 l/min.
It's unclear if it's 56m³/s for one or all three together.
Correction on the unit of the first operand:
56m³/s * 1000l/m³ * 2 * 60s/min
but how many refigirators and football fields is that?
@@SupremeRuleroftheWorld Isn't the standard unit for this Whales per Kermit?
Sagan has your voice.
Would have been nice to get a shot of the lake upstream of the dam. I guess the (solar) roadway to your left precluded that. 😉
Is it winter in Aussieland?
I wonder if that name comes from the _sloosh_ of all the water spilliing down the spillway from the gate. Pretty neat nonetheless!
If the outer Sluices open up, I am sure you don't want to be down stream since they look like last resort. Will try to visit again, liked the Parks Radio telescope but just could not get to the bridge across the river Styx (-:
Dam you, I should be sleeping
3:20 There are only three sluice gates.
Five fish belly overflow flap flood gates. Try saying that fast five times.
welcome to canberra
Fish belly, yum 😋
👍👍
Pronounced ‘Sloose’
I'm curious how they pronounce 'juice'.
@@Okurka. 😆
It's pronounced like juice, but with SL instead of an J.
Not producing electricity ??
Sluice rhymes with juice.
More gates than a hex inverter.....
Great spot for a hydroelectric generation. Looks by the sign they didn't put one there
It's a lake fed by rain, not by a river.
sluice -> pronounced "slew is"
Release enough water to keep the river going and the reason to shoot the water like this is to add oxygen in the water for fish in the River
Gate 3 being opened

Didn't even mention all those negative ions from the water discharge for the homeopathic fangirls!
Climate doesn't bend to policy by the looks of that very wet dam 🤣
Drought and warm winters are really extending Australian ski season. Very bad global warming it is 🙃
