top 10 strange machines and most bizarre machinery

number ten to enable ships to move between dams gateways are traditionally used however if the elevation difference is large enough the construction of the gateway is impossible such a machine for transporting boats between water at two different elevations is an alternative to the gateways this is ship lift or lift lock the advantage of ship elevators over gateways is the relatively small loss of water from the upper channel during the ascent and descent of ships disadvantages more complex design higher cost of construction as well as restrictions on the size and displacement of ships being climbed moving lifts like this only one in Russia and this is world's only rotational lift the Falkirk wheel in Scotland is named after Falkirk the city in which it is located it was opened in 2002 to connect to water channels connecting western and eastern Scotland for the first time since the 1930s and it's one of the main sights of Scotland number 9 there is a special type of machinery to perform particularly complex and non-standard work this is a walking excavator it was nicknamed a spider not by chance the fact is that each of the four legs with a wheel can make horizontal and vertical movements independently of the other three this allows the wheel excavator to scramble up and down very steep slopes it's something fantastic to see them at work and it's hard to believe that a wheeled excavator can work while hanging on a mountainside number eight the US naval research authority owns the most unusual ship in the world which is often mistaken for a wrecked ship it's because of its ability to dive and pitch backward 90 degrees the ship is an ocean research platform and it's called a flip it was designed in 1962 to research acoustic signals water temperature and density and meteorological data collection because of the potential acoustic interference lip has no power propulsion it must be towed to open waters where it drifts freely or is angered the ship has specially designed interiors some fixtures such as the toilet seats can flip 90 degrees the lights are on the ceiling and also in a wall that becomes the ceiling after the flip also the shower heads are curved 90 degrees number seven this is ETF t8 774 the world's largest mining truck its length is 29 meters that's slightly longer than to tourist buses together this machine is unique for its maximum payload of 774 times imagine if the average sedan weighs 1.7 times then this truck can transport 485 cars at once previously the payload record belongs to the Bellas mining truck with its maximum payload of 503 tons number six probably there is nothing bigger in the world than these giant machines mining shovels are giant machines and the world's largest models can weigh more than 8,000 tons this is the largest electric shovel that still exists wind built in 1962 this shovel was the second largest in the world standing 160 feet high weighing 5,500 tons the bucket scooped out 90 cubic yards or 135 tons of earth with each bite to understand the true size of these machines for comparison look at this excavator it weighs 800 tons that is five times less than the previous one number five do you know how subway tunnels are constructed meet a tunnel boring machine the biggest one is weighing above six thousand seven hundred tons these machines can bore through anything from hard rock to send they can make tunnels up to fifty eight feet diameter and this is how the subway construction looks like number four from the side this machine looks like an alien robot this is a harvester a deforestation machine when you look at its work you get the feeling that you are watching a fantastic movie the main mechanism of the combine the hinge harvester head seems it lives its own life and finds the trees itself but this is not so it is controlled by the harvester operator using a computer from the cab setting it in motion by the hydraulic system the harvester is a unique machine it works five times more effective than ten workers and is notable for its amazing maneuverability swamp mud snow or an even ground are nothing for it number three this behemoth machine the size of a baseball field is unique there are only two such machines in the world this machine called NASA's crawler transporter they have carried the load of taking rockets in spacecraft to the launch pad for more than 50 years at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida some facts about NASA's crawler-transporter it's the largest platform for transporting oversized loads in the world it weighs like the weight of about 15 statues of Liberty or 1,000 pickup trucks approximately 6.6 million pounds it's able to transport 18 million pounds this is the weight of more than 20 fully loaded Boeing 777 upon its construction the crawler-transporter became the largest self powered land vehicle in the world while other vehicles such as bucket-wheel excavators like bagger 293 drag line excavators like big muskie and power shovels like the captain are significantly larger they are powered by external sources number two it's definitely the most badass fire machine ever built it was made from two mid jet engines and Soviet tank t-34 and is called big wind big wind was created by Hungarian specialists and specifically to extinguish oil well fires after the Iraqi forces blew about 700 oil wells when leaving Kuwait in February 1991 many firefighters from several countries of the world participated in extinguishing these fire in particular this fire machine - there are six fire hoses around each jet engine which release up to 8,000 gallons of water a minute turn the jet engines on end you concern that cloud of spray straight at a fire at 770 miles per hour this firefighting machine literally cuts the burning oil fountain at the same time cooling the metal pipelines of the oil well number one these machines are remarkable not only for their huge size but also for the method of movement they walk meet the walking excavators the biggest ones are big musky mining dragline excavator weighing 13,500 tons and standing nearly 22 stories tall with a 220 cubic yard bucket it was the largest single bucket digging machine ever created and one of the world's largest machines alongside the German bucket-wheel excavators of the bagger 288 and bagger 293 family you
