    some random fatcs about this tunnel, As you can see in this video, the tunnel has long slight turns inside to keep the driver from getting bored/tired, same with the 3 light-rooms inside the tunnel which stimulates daylights, also to keep the driver awake. The tunnel was also very hard to build, as there was originally a building team from another country who said this tunnel would be a piece of cake to build, but later gave up because of the rock types in this mountain............

    The blue color is actually a geothermal power source to power the Stargate. They cleverly hid it in a car tunnel. A section of the wall opens up with a special code and you drive down a side tunnel 300 yards until you get to Stargate Command.

  • @finncarlbomholtsrensen1188

    Many years ago I actually drove through the first part of this tunnel near Sognefjorden. 11 km was made as first and it was filled with what seems to be smoke and I was hardly able to see the rescue-post, and its lights, till a few hundred meters before I passed! The rough walls took much of the cars light and it had no light inside, except by the rescue-posts!

      Bjørn Nyland Obviously there's an average speed restriction in place.
      I don't know if I could stomach this tunnel. I would definately have to take breaks in the artfully lit areas at the very least.
      I did the Gothard tunnel once. This was after the infamous fire in there and all today's restrictions were in place (speed restriction/minimum distance between vehicles). I was never more tempted to at least double my speed in my life (I was driving the company BMW 525 at the time, which could almost do 3x the maximum speed of 70km/h). I don't consider myself claustrofobic, but I was fed up with this tunnel even before I got half way through. In fact, coming back I made a 190km detour to take a train tunnel through the Alps, just to save me from having to drive through them myself.

    • @alanmacnaughton674
      @alanmacnaughton674 Před 9 lety +2

      Jan Verschueren yeah I was just wondering about the cameras as it was me that enquired as I was intrigued by the thought of if they are consistent or just one at each end as you could take a rest stop and then just floor it through I couldn't spot any so I can only guess that there must be a camera between each rest area to avoid that happening.

      Car or Evo magazine took a 430 Spider to this tunnel when it was new just to hammer it through and hear that 'zorst. If they got away with it...
      Fun fact: they shredded a tyre on some forsaken road in some valley fjord somewhere and Fezza put two guys on a flight with a spare & a laptop to go out there & change it for them. Traveling all day just to spend 15 minutes there

    I honestly believe that for cities, wide tunnels, with smooth "frictionless" surfaces, on descending gradients......maybe with the air sucked out at one end......could provide fast, convenient transport for commuters permanently.........
    Gravity is power if harnessed.
    No reliance on oil. No emissions.
    The gradients could even charge electric scooter /bicycle batteries by regenerative braking.
    Imagine the London tube, except with no trains and bicycles/electric scooters on a gradient to avoid pedalling.....
    Gravity is free power.
    Reduce friction by wind..by surface...
    and that is free energy.....
    Like a ball bearing on glass.
    The critical angle is the descent gradient of the slope.
    5 degrees may work.
    At either end could be large fast lifts, limiting emissions to one area which can be captured.
    Such a network of descent tunnels would create a free, non polluting, transport infrastructure that could become a tourist attraction.......

    If you've ever driven with Halvor you'd get to the other side and kiss the ground. Hmmm-AH!
