Nice video. I have worked as a design manager for Otis on this lift. Very accurate description

Excellent engineering, thanks for the detailed information, I shall have to visit and ride 109.

who cleans the windows ?

Fascinating! Boulton & Paul - a great British engineering company 😊

This channel is amazing... I subscribe to 10+ engineering channels and only JUST go recommended - Thats the YT algorithm - useless nowadays for growing channels. Please keep going. the quality speaks for itself. You deserve to be a 1m channel

Amazing! Great Job Sönke! 😊 I have it on my bucket list! 🏭

Pretty sure 1 hotel is equal to 4 house! Or did my childhood lie to me

i dont know mate, maybe they calculate it so it fkin stands and not falling

This really is an excellent video and connects with my inner geek 🤣. Really interesting. I will definitely be visiting.

I guess for the next one you could talk about Blatimore bridge?

Is this free of se shpuld book any tickets on where? Pls help me to schedule any gentleman that so much in advance❤🎉

The interior is very similar in design to Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow, only on a much larger scale of course.

The Battersea power station has had a warm place in my heart since Pink Floyd's Animals album.

Wasn't that in Slow Horses?

So... this is a giant heatpipe

I'd be interested to know if having a lattice of water surrounding the building also has an effect on their heating & cooling bills.

Unobtrusive? Desperately ugly is more like it.

9:47 - Doesn't make sense, this is only for the exterior of the building, what about the internal fire, lets say at the center of the building, how will the heat over there will be easily dissipated? It's like the building will end up like a hollow object, fire did not damage external but damaged all internal. Maybe I'm not getting the whole picture of it's use...

England.

Oh man all those gaskets and pieces that are contracting and expanding over and over.. I would think that thing would be permanently leaking ....

could actually improve the fire safety by using the bare minimum of combustible materials so avoid plastic or wood and try metals instead. maybe make everything fire resistant.

It looks like a Borg Cube from Star Trek.

"Well that, I'm surprised about. The water takes away the heat from the area incredibly efficiently..." A. That's why you can't solder pipes with water in them. Doesn't everybody know that? B. It's not taking heat away, per se. You're just trying to heat a much greater mass. In the first example (empty pipe), you're heating up a small weight of copper. In the second, you're heating the copper PLUS a lot of water--many times the weight of the copper that contains it! A 12-inch length of 1 1/8" interior diameter pipe may weigh 80 to 100 grams, but the water inside weighs an additional 250 grams! Obviously, it takes a lot more heat and time to raise the temperature of 100 grams of empty pipe than it does 350 grams. Sheesh! Physics.

Walked past that building on the way to work for years, never knew...

Great video, i pass by that building regularly. Never knew its history ... thanks!

I’ve worked in Engineering since I was 18 I am now 55. I just love the technical stuff. We can do anything if we want and have the money. Sometimes I have to say to my colleagues, think if it is necessary before you do it. What return are you going to get for what you want to do? Great video and fantastic explanation. Thank you.

Is it used to move heat in or out of the building? Condenser water for the AC? Is the water continually circulated? What trade installed the structural piping? Ironworkers, Pipe fitters? HVAC?

whoa, that is neat as hell. x)

Largest steam pipe bomb ever created

What happens when the water freezes and the pipes burst lol.

The water has two big advantages. 1 the water has a lot of thermal mass so it takes a lot of energy to heat it up 2 so long as there is liquid water in the pipes the temp will not go over 100c

wheelchair user here, one question. how do you fit a platform lift into an emergency lift. can you show us how that works please.

😳 *promosm*

Curious yank here. Does the water extend transversely along each of the floor beams as it does throughout the exoskeleton?

Anothwr fantastic video.

Nice engineering story. Thank you.

This might be a too innovative or novel method. It's not easy to get approval from the government.

I don't think that would work too well here in Chicago

Can you make your content accessible by having actual closed captioning please? I'm Profoundly Deaf and the auto captioning sadly make it harder to watch.

✨✨👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for pointing out the cool building and doing the demo! I think you've focused too much on dissipation, though. Copper dissipates hate faster than water does. The reason the water helps is because water has an extremely high thermal capacity.

Change the H2O to steam and see what happens.

Love the new video series. Was there in November, they just love tall/ unique buildings

You can really tell that you are not a standard youtuber but someone with lots of experience and knowledge on Engineering. All your videos are well produced and you speak with authority on the subjects. In short, Love it, keep up the good work!

Fascinating stuff! However why? It's so ugly!

Fascinating!!

what happens if the "exoskeleton" is punctured - are there shut off valves to stop all the water draining out? and how much damage can the exoskeleton withstand before the building integrity is compromised?

The stainless steel parts were made by APV Paramount. Welded in sections by Scomark Eng. I was project manager at Apv
