  • I've drained beaver dam next to my good friend's lands. It collapsed pretty well! I was afraid that this ditch will not absorb all the mud, but it absorbed very good. :)
    Enjoy the video;)

      I’m not sure why you want to drown when one of those collapses suddenly and without warning but good luck.

      Just a suggestion, you should have a camera further down stream to capture the rush of water from a peaceful trickle

    I enjoy how you undercut the beaver dam. Let the force of the water remove 75% of the dam.

    In getting my Biology degree I had to take a couple of courses in physics. So I'd like to do a little analysis on your latest technique:
    1. You dug down at the back of the dam. Water pressure increases by a bit over 1 lb per foot of depth, so you added pressure to the entire base of the dam.
    2. You took off the front, taking out support there.
    3. You undercut the front and started a flow of water under the dam eroding the base.
    The above weakened the whole dam on three of it's six sides. There is no support above the dam, and the sides provide very little support. Result - one dam going downstream!
    Dam cleaver them Lithuanians. :D

      "Water pressure increases by a bit over 1 lb per foot of depth"... best example why the metric system is better & easier. 😉

      Water pressure increases by somewhat _less than_ 0.5 lbs/ft.

    • @terryhatcher9644
      @terryhatcher9644 Před 7 měsíci +1

      Good old C4 increases the pressure a hell of a lot more if detonated on the upstream side of the dam near the bottom. Yeah, I saw the Dam Busters movie. Also, my father was an Army Combat Engineer, so that was the stuff he did on a bit bigger scale. Alot . With C 3.

    I like the way you put a lot of thought into making it collapse catastrophically. Attacking the bottom and sides. It's more work but it clears it completely. It also looks really cool.

    • @arneanka4633
      @arneanka4633 Před 7 měsíci

      If the Allied used the top-blow method when they blew up German dams during the war, we would speak German now. Bottom is stronger but holds all weight. Only hillbillies in USA puts a stick of dynamite on the top and thinks the whole dam will go away.

  • @omervandenbelt
    @omervandenbelt Před 7 měsíci +1

    Out of all beaver dam collapses that I have seen on your channel this was the nicest collapse.
    Releasing the mud at the back of the dam surely helped. Because, it made the dam thinner. Thus, less resistance to the water pressure.
