Как Бурдж-Халифа доставляет воду на 163-й этаж. Безумное инженерное решение.

#documentary #technology #dubai The Burj Khalifa rises over eight hundred meters, and by all the laws of physics, there simply shouldn't be any tap water on the upper floors. Pumping it to that height with a single pump requires about eighty atmospheres of pressure—an ordinary steel pipe would burst from the inside. But there's water there, and it flows every day without fail. In this video, we explore how the engineers got around this: why the tower was divided into seven zones with separate pumps, what happens to waste falling from a kilometer high, why the building freezes ice at night, how it combats the draft it creates for itself, why the top sways calmly a couple of meters, and how all of this sits on ordinary sand. Watch to the end—there's a question I'd love to hear your answer to. #documentary #technology #dubai
