3:15 "That's us generating electricity, for 90, 000 ohms"

Love the narration. If The Lord of the Rings opened with a hydroelectric dam instead of a mountain range, this would be the intro.

[ShadowzGSD]

A fish swam into a wall and said 'Dam'

[BonesyTucson]

That is a beautiful dam, with those block/brick buttresses. Very picturesque!

[NoorHafeez]

Working as an operation engineer in a 720MW hydropower plant, i can surely say hydro electric generating stations are a marvel of Man

[gordonmackenzie]

There are 2 more in the pipeline, as it were. 1 on Loch Ness called Red John, and 1 on Loch Lochy called Coire Glas. Foyers, also on Loch Ness, has been operating since the 1960s. There are a few smaller schemes in operation.

Happy to have just found Guy Martin, great videos.

The empire sure left that dam in a hurry! They took all of their gear with them!

[doxielain]

Oh, hey, it's a location used in Andor. Neat. Also, nice chops to open the valve and just stand there in the spray. Seems an odd design choice, though.

My grandad was a tunnel tiger. Lots of hydro electric places up in the highlands where I live. They’re awesome.

[SeattleBoatdog]

Ya know … I’d actually be quite comfortable knowing that that was the guy monitoring the dam above my town 🥳

[AllenKopic]

Guy Martin mate..you are my Idol..would love to meet you in person... cheers from Austria

[jgdooley]

A similar scheme operates in Turlough Hill in Ireland and has done so since the 1970s. Designed and operated by the State owned Electricity Supply Board, ESB.

[pauldurkee]

There is a similar set up in Snowdonia, North Wales, I believe that opened in the early 1980s.

The closing of that service seal sounded a lot like Godzilla just arrived. 🦖

[richardkingadi]

...."makin electricity for 90 thousand gnomes". (sic) 😂. English subtitles would be useful!

When people are watching the world cup, and all put the kettle on at half time, these guys open the taps.

[teagueman]

"wot we gonna do?" Nuclear power mate!

[peterdefrankrijker]

That’s the kind of delta p that can squeeze a fellow through a keyhole.

[erictjones]

What is the gear ratio on that hand cranked safety valve?
