Extreme Engineering - Tokyo Sky City (Parte 3-5)

[Bystander81]

I hope they really do make this, it looks pretty amazing. I wouldn't mind moving into someplace like that, I think it would be fun. Granted, I'm not moving into the 200th floor or anything lol but I like the idea.

[THEmickTHEgun]

@Bystander81 Lol, I live in a small, well large town, small city in australia and If I went to this if they built it I wouldn't go past the 10th floor!

[PierreMarieJean]

I would not want to be loading that crane, I've done a few multi-ton loads, and sheeet..... first time made me nervous as hell.

[CapperMeeh]

lol at 0.24-0.25 you can hear a strange sound, And at 0.26-0.28 you can hear a fart sound :P

[crzer07]

by that time shouldn't they be able to stabilize and control earthquakes and have a high predictability power over weather patterns?

[88keyboard]

@mard420 is still hard to produce carbon nanotubes in large scale.

[crimsonJADEDfang]

reminds me of the tower of babel...-___-

[Dreyfus03]

i mean there is no way that all the materials for this sky city can be manufactered its like buliding plenty of mega buldings into one

[Domzdream]

Ahh-hahahaha!

At 1:06) The ring of Fire!

I simply love the cheesy names asians give anything. Let's see...

Umbrella Corporation. Raccoon city??? Bumble bee? I mean, come on guys!

Next thing we find out- they've named their next building 'The death star'.

[hrbear]

@Domzdream Well I think that these people are provoking the nature. Skyscrapers (more than 25 floors) are forbidden in Greece, because we are inside a high earthquake zone. I wonder how Japan decides to proceed to such kind of constructions while they have the same problem.

[liveforfridays]

that would be such a thrill, i love heights man thats awsome.

[bartapian5]

hmm, In comparison to TP101, i still don't see how the floors could be supported over such a vast span, TP101's supports hardly fit into the visual design of comparatively wafer thin floors displayed in graphics here, i know the buttresses create a dead lock for fixture, but surely in the final drawings they'll put a central column right through the centre as an equilibrium support ?

If there's any engineers that might have an idea, or Anyone for that matter, what do you think

.

[mard420]

why don't they use Carbon nanotubes for reinforcing the steel, make it lighter, balance out the cost, increase the strength?

[hrbear]

@mard420 Carbon nanotubes? I had a long time to hear about them. PC users still wait for a super CPU made of these famous carbon nanotubes, but until now nothing happens. :) This material is still under experimental use I think.

[inayclone]

@mard420 too expensive, and you can only get small amounts of it. When I say small amounts, I mean, literally, dust.

[chocolatedonut31]

@mard420 They don't want it lighter though, because the weight anchors the foundations.

[MrLoganloganlogan]

@mard420 carbon nanotubes don't work yet

[jscheesy6]

@mard420 well they dont use Carbon nanotubes because they arnt tested and are expensive to make

[cobravictor]

TIME,COST,QUALITY

[cpisretartedmuch]

wtf why use steel

the mega city pyrmid is using going to use carbon nanotubes.

10x as light as steel 50-1000 as strong at the same time

[had3l]

Because right now carbon nanotubes are insanely expensive.

[777Sinny777]

Right now carbon nanotubes are expensive as well as unstable. Currently there is the asbestos-like problem of nanotube fragments causing all sorts of health risks. Nanotubes, while very stong, are still a few years form practical use.

[crisisstar]

This building makes me think of Midgar (correct spelled?) in FF7

[transdrole]

A certain percentage of steel's strength is used for merely supporting its own weight. I thought steel was too heavy for this application?

[jakejakewhat]

i dont think its very feasible

[SonicGeneration]

moo

[Seiku]

Did you hear a funny sound at :26-:28.

[eternity0022]

mohammad dahanet servis. :P

[aderian82]

are vallaaa,,,mohammaaad magar inke dastam behet narese:D
