journey to the big bucket wheel excavator (uncut) - part III: steel at work

[GHOSTS117]

Who wins? 2 tanks or this?

[peptobismol9]

The zombies will never see it coming.

[CookingEggss]

jeez i hate those hoax's. Crazy piece of machinery there though! 

[Lydok]

look at that beast

[elbalistico]

WOW..



[DragonFlyback256]

Jesus that thing needs some oil and grease. xD

I can see a traction motor.

[DragonFlyback256]

Was that an intruder alert sounding lol? JK! I like your dive into the flowers LOL. Did you have to sneak? Nice vid nice giant. ^^

[newcome880]

I crawled as a precaution since I didn't know how firm the brink would be

[disturbedbass49]

cracked

[Molybdan42]

Warst aber verdammt nah an der Abbruchkante. Braunkohle ist nicht gerade für ihre große Festigkeit bekannt. Watch your step ; )

[newcome880]

jo, weiter ging net. die Braunkohle is aber ein wenig weiter unten ;-)

[SAMIMYS]

i have machino-phobia,and the starting sound scared the comment out of my brain !

[fellasdizi]

well now i know how to plant my seeds in my garden

[lolilolimolimoli]

i would piss my pants if i would stand under that and that wheel would come down to mee xDD

[AmunExorbis]

Wouldn't you crap your pants full if that leviathan is moving towards you also making that insanly awesome sounds ?!?!?!

[Gonken88]

I'd love to get a parkingticket in that son of a bitch. tow it away then motherfucker!

[XyliboxFrance]

[newcome880]

@XyliboxFrance

I also have some photos of that trip flying around somewhere :-)

[xeronicus]

they are like parasites AFA power goes, they feed the momma(plant in background) and the momma in turn sends some juice to it.

[RyuRiku]

@xeronicus that's called symbiosis

[xeronicus]

@RyuRiku

I left biology in the classroom 10 years ago kiddo, It all just boils down to "tab "A" goes in slot "B" anywho ;)

But thank you for the correction.

[RyuRiku]

@xeronicus I didn't realy care wheter you compare it with a parasite or with symbiosis. The only diffrence is that a paarasite cas no possitife effect on the carrier.

I left biology last year to, and I kinda sucked at it, so I completely understand :p

[DammitDrag]

@RyuRiku symbiotic relationship.

[RyuRiku]

@DammitDrag d'oh :p

[JURADOSCORP]

Diesel, Electricity or what?

[newcome880]

@JURADOSCORP

operating source of energy is electricity (as far as I know) and they are mining brown coal

[coolglen201]

@newcome880 its alll electricity its so big it has its own sub station onboard

[snake172]

we may be small but we sure know how to fuck up earth......in style!

[jstrunck]

She's has a BIG appetite!

[MrYebby]

i like my flies with water..:o)

[jamesandrew2000]

Your instructions where to set the charges and run. dumkopfp!!! Because of this nature boy video insolence you have endangered the entire operation. To the hideout mach shnell

[newcome880]

WTF ?

[kalx007]

how much does it weigh?

i know there was a excavator in Estonia which weighed about 4100 tons. and had lifted about 95million m3 of soil in ts lifetime. EVG 35/65 was its model name i guess.

[newcome880]

I don't know about this particular one but those bwes weigh between 7800 and 14200 tons (biggest one on earth). You can find a list at Wiki if you type ''Schaufelradbagger'' in search.

[MrRedeyedJedi]

i sure as hell wouldnt be standing where you were when that collosal thing starts grunting and grinding towards me lol... but now ive seen it.. its quite slow lol

[newcome880]

yep, it's very slow and it's hard to imagine that this huge hole was made by such machines. Standing that close to it is really thrilling :-)

[xanto360]

Aber du könntest es doch toppen, du musst das selbe nur mit besserer Qualität filmen dann is es besser :P

[xanto360]

hehe xD

[xanto360]

versuch doch mal IN den Tagebau reinzukommen und von dort aus zu filmen, von unten wirkt alles größer :) besonders in der nacht wenn alles schön beleuchtet ist^^

ohja...

[newcome880]

hmm, Videos von den Baggern aus nächster Nähe gibt es bereits sehr viele und sehr gute. Da kann ich nichts mehr toppen! Vielleicht erinnerst du dich an ein Video wo jemand das Schaufelrad aus nur wenigen Metern Entfernung gefilmt hat :D

[tigrius]

fuer was ist ne alarm dortt? Zeit zum Mittags pause?

[newcome880]

wegen vom Förderband herunterfallenden Felsbrocken (siehe Teil II)

[xanto360]

ja, so leicht bricht da nichts ab, sieht zwar weich aus, weil der bagger das so einfach wegschaufelt, aber es is eig richtig hart, aber trotzdem gut dass dus nich riskiert hast^^ geht schon tief runter...

[newcome880]

ja, ist anzunehmen. Nur sagen wir mal wenn's vorher geregnet hat wird die Kante schwerer und hin und wieder habe ich auch Risse gesehen. Ich habe da weniger ''Angst'' vorm runterstürzen als viel mehr vorm verschüttet werden. Andererseits bin ich auch nicht schwindelfrei, da kann man wenig machen :/

[xanto360]

dich xD^^

[newcome880]

naja, ich war direkt an der Kante und wollte nur sicher gehen, daß ich die nicht abbreche und runterstürze. Wenn man sich hinlegt verteilt sich das Gewicht etwas günstiger. Allerdings liegt man dort eher ungemütlich

[xanto360]

lol kriecht der da rum xDD

[newcome880]

meinst du den Bagger oder mich bei Zeitindex 2:12 ?

:D

[paulsureno]

I have to say the noises coming from that thing make it sound almost alive!!!

[newcome880]

yeah, like the roar of a dinosaur :D

[NatalieTG]

amazing video 5 stars
