Machinery to fulfill the many needs of
our society today we're taking a look at
the top 15 most massive machines mankind
has ever created number 15 Bella's 75710
if you're running a construction project
or planning on moving large quantities
of material from one place to another
you're going to need a hauling truck, but
if you have substantial loads that need
to be transported, then you might just
require the use of the largest one ever
designed the fellas 75710 created by the
Belarusian company Bella's it's the
highest payload capacity haul truck
available the vehicle itself weighs 500
tonnes and can carry a further 500
tonnes of material it's more than 67
feet long 32 feet wide and 27 feet high
and its wheelbase alone is just over 26
feet across to power this gigantic
vehicle it uses a siemens mmt 500 drive
system which is powered by two MTU 16
cylinder four-stroke diesel engines
which each produced 2300 horsepower
this gives the 75710 an impressive top
speed of 40 miles per hour and even when
loaded on an incline of 10% it can
maintain a speed of up to 25 miles per
hour number 14 the 500 meter aperture
spherical radio telescope the 500 meter
aperture spherical radio telescope or
fast for short is the largest radio
telescope in the world that's made up of
a fully filled in structure located in
pang town county in southwest china it
was installed in an ideally sized
natural depression within the landscape
at 1600 feet in diameter its surface is
covered with adjustable metal panels
that are controlled by computer and the
feed antenna which is suspended above
the dish by cables it can also be
adjusted depending on what's being
observed fast took five years to build
and after opening for testing in 2016 it
took a further four years to reach full
operational capacity it's able to
observe wavelengths between 4 inches and
14 feet since entering service has now
detected 44 new pulsars that were
previously unknown
not only as fast dramatically increased
researchers ability to observe the
distant reaches of the universe but it
also has become a visitor attraction in
its own right
10 million tourists were thought to have
traveled to the remote region in 2017 to
get a glimpse of the enormous dish for
themselves and this has meant that those
in charge of running it have had to
strike a fine balance between
accommodating the needs of the visitors
to ensure the wider community is engaged
with their aims while also making sure
they're carrying out enough studies to
make the 180 million dollar cost of the
project worthwhile number 13 Prelude
FLNG oceanic oil fields around the world
are covered with large drilling
platforms designed to extract as much of
the valuable resource as possible but in
2013 shell launched the largest offshore
facility to have ever been built
known as the Prelude FLNG at over 1,600
feet long 243 feet wide and containing
more than 260 thousand tons of steel it
has five times the water displacement of
a nimitz-class aircraft carrier and an
estimated cost of 13 billion dollars
prelude has a full-time crew of 240 and
was specifically designed to work on the
prelude and concierto gas fields which
lie on 120 miles off the coast of
Australia it's secured in place by 16
seabed driven steel piles that are each
213 feet long and this means it's able
to withstand the worst weather that can
be thrown at it
including a category 5 typhoon after
initially being installed in place in
2017 Prelude began full operation in
2018 and is able to extract a hundred
and ten thousand barrels per day a
mixture of liquefied natural gas
condensate and liquefied petroleum gas
the sheer scale of this platform is
almost unimaginable but with a projected
lifespan of 25 years it'll secure
production from the valuable fields for
many years to come number 12 la
Princesse in 2008 celebrations in
Liverpool England were chosen for the
unveiling of one of the largest
mechanized vehicles ever made la
Princesse it was designed by a French
performance art company called la
machine who wanted to build a giant
robot spider that could walk through the
streets constructed from steel wood and
complex hydraulics it took
more than a year to complete but the
result was incredible weighing in at 37
tons it had 50 different axes of
movement and with the aid of 16 cranes
six forklift trucks eight cherry pickers
and a crew of more than 250 people it
was able to climb up and around
buildings and crawl through the city at
a speed of up to 2 miles per hour as a
part of the performance it was also
followed by a live band and was fitted
with numerous special effects so that it
was able to emit smoke fire rain wind
snow light and sound it's undoubtedly
one of the most elaborate entertainment
machines to ever be built and one that
would take incredible passion and
commitment to ever aim to beat number 11
truck Dino the robot dragon the German
town of Firth involved in Bavaria is
also known as the dragon city and they
take this association very seriously
every year a play called dragon stuff is
performed through the streets based on a
tradition that began as far back as the
16th century tells the story of st.
George slaying a dragon as you'd expect
the central spectacle of the play is the
dragon itself and in 2001 organized
decided that their prop was getting too
old and worn and plans were drawn up for
a giant dragon robot which would become
the largest independently walking robot
in the world it took nine years to be
designed and built and took center stage
during the play's performance in 2010
known as treading out the dragon weighs
11 tonnes and is powered by a 2-liter
turbo diesel engine it has a 40 foot
wingspan a huge tail and to move by
remote control it contains more than
1,000 feet of hydraulic lines and 4,000
feet of electrical wires for added
effect it can also carry seventeen and a
half gallons of fake blood and two and a
half gallons of liquid gas which allows
the monstrous beast to bleed and breathe
fire up to five feet from its mouth
number ten Antonov an-225 Mira
whenever you've traveled through an
International Airport you'll quite often
see aircraft that are much larger than
you'd expect from the Airbus a380 to
large cargo transports it almost seems
impossible that they'd ever be able to
lift up into the air but even they can't
stand up to the heaviest plane ever
bills the Antonov an-225 Mira only one
was built in 1985 it was the result of
the Soviet need to transport the burren
space plane which was their equivalent
of the space shuttle to carry the
spacecraft to the launch center the Mira
needed some serious stability and power
so the 276 foot long and 60 foot tall
aircraft with a 290 foot wingspan was
fitted with six progress d 18 t turbo
fans which could each generate two
hundred and twenty nine point five
kilonewtons of thrust this means that it
can take off with a maximum weight of
almost 1.5 million pounds and attain a
cruising speed of up to 500 miles per
hour following the end of the Soviet
shuttle program the Mira was mothballed
for eight years but new uses soon
emerged for the mega jet it's still
regularly used to this day for projects
ranging from delivering supplies to
relief organizations around the world
and to carry the largest pieces of air
cargo such as wind turbine blades and
the heaviest light generators for power
plants number nine overburden conveyor
bridge F 60 the lusatian coal fields in
Germany are a series of mines on the
country's border with Poland that
produce some of the largest quantities
of coal in the world having been in
operation for more than a half a century
the operators needed some heavy-duty
machinery to keep running at full
capacity which led to the development of
the overburden conveyor bridge F 65 of
these monster machines were built and
they're responsible for removing and
transporting the overburden which lies
over the coal seam out of the way
they're fitted with excavators on each
side which can remove almost 30,000 tons
of material every hour and have nine
conveyor belts to load onto their trucks
for disposal each one has a cutting
height of 200 feet and the vehicles
themselves are 260 feet long 790 feet
wide and 1647 feet long making them by
far the
the largest vehicles ever constructed as
well as one of the heaviest with an
operating weight of thirteen thousand
six hundred tons to put this into
perspective and f60 is longer than the
Empire State Building is tall which
represents a phenomenal feat of
Engineering

giant the see wise giant first sets sail
in 1979 and to this day remains the
largest ship to have ever been built it
was designed for use as a super tanker
and at fifteen hundred and four feet
long was so big that it was unable to
traverse the English Channel the Suez
Canal or the Panama Canal when fully
loaded the displacement was more than
650,000 tons and the bottom of the hull
would submerge up to 81 feet beneath the
water's surface building such a large
vessel didn't come without its problems
though and initially the sea wise giant
suffered from vibrations that were such
a concern that the company that had
commissioned it refused delivery
following a refit had performed closer
to how it was meant to and had 46 tanks
for crude oil and an enormous 230 tonne
rudder and a 50 ton propeller this
allowed it to reach a top speed of 16
and a half knots which is the equivalent
to 19 miles per hour that had a turning
circle of 2 miles and needed five and a
half miles to come to a full stop from
that speed throughout its operational
life the ship changed hands a number of
times and was even sunk during the
iran-iraq war in 1988 after being
salvaged and fixed it continued in
service and was finally scrapped in 2010
when smaller but faster vessels proved
to be far more economical
number seven typhoon crane ports around
the world are dealing with bigger ships
and larger loads so I have to keep up
with technology to be able to service
them at the untie raffle shipyard in
jung-tae China the largest crane in the
world was built to not only handle cargo
but to assist with the construction of
the super cruisers of the future known
as the typhoon crane it's rated to
handle loads of up to 20,000 tons and
holds the record for the three heaviest
lifts by a crane of all time
it was originally designed to install
modules on top of ship hulls that had
been built elsewhere and soon became the
go-to place for anyone wanting to build
a giant tanker at 393 feet wide and 436
feet tall it's able to service even the
most complicated of needs with a 262
foot lift height number six sparrow
Gustav thus fara Gustav was possibly the
most frightening weapon ever developed
and holds the record for being the
largest caliber rifled weapon ever
deployed in combat and the heaviest
mobile artillery machine ever
constructed it was to be that Nazis war
turning weapon and was just to turn a
fortune that meant it wasn't possible
for them to use as often as they would
have hoped
weighing fourteen hundred and ninety
tons it was transported on the back of a
train car and it was able to fire 7.7
ton shells to a distance of up to 29
miles
it was 155 feet long with a barrel
length of a hundred and six feet and
took a crew of 250 people three days to
set up once it was in position 14:31
inch rounds could be fired per day with
a muzzle velocity of up to 2,700 feet
per second and anything that stood in
its way was obliterated the only time it
was used effectively however was during
the Battle of Sevastopol against the
Soviet Union and during this mission the
Gustav successfully destroyed a
munitions depot that it was hidden 98
feet beneath ground level the weapon was
eventually destroyed by German troops
before the end of the Second World War
to prevent it from falling into Russian
hands and luckily no-one has ever felt
the need to recreate such a weapon since
number five Komatsu D 575 a super dozer
the Komatsu D 575 a is the largest
bulldozer in production and it's so
powerful that it's the preferred piece
of machinery at surface mines across the
u.s. Canada and Australia at 38 feet and
five inches long and 16 feet tall it's
able to move as much as a hundred and
twenty-five cubic yards of material on
each pass and can dig to a depth of up
to seven feet to do this the 168 ton
vehicle is powered by a 12 cylinder
four-stroke diesel engine that can
produce eleven hundred and fifty
horsepower and it's so big that it can't
simply drive itself to a new work site
it has to be dismantled and transported
on up to eight trucks before being
reassembled at the other end number four
the Panzer 8 mouse the German military
devoted huge resources towards
developing powerful weapons and had a
particular interest in creating the
biggest war machines ever invented this
led to the creation of the Panza eight
mouse which remains the largest fully
enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever
conceived only one full Mouse was ever
completed and it never entered service
because it was captured by the Soviets
before it was operational but had they
ever made it to the battlefields they
would have been almost unstoppable at 33
feet and 6 inches long 12 feet and 2
inches wide and just under 12 feet tall
the 207 ton vehicle required a 6 man
crew to operate which included a
commander a gunner two loaders
a driver and a radio operator it could
reach a top speed of 14 miles per hour
over virtually any terrain but because
it was so heavy it wasn't able to use
bridges and instead had to cross rivers
and was equipped with a snorkel so it
could submerge to depths of up to 26
feet the mouse was intended as a
breakthrough tank which could have
punched holes in enemy defenses without
taking much damage itself and almost
certainly would have changed the face of
the war if it had ever properly entered
service
number three the Large Hadron Collider
to understand and unlock the strangest
mysteries of the universe requires not
only a deep knowledge of physics but
also the equipment that enables the
necessary experiments to take place that
was the reason behind the construction
of the Large Hadron Collider which
enables scientists to confirm the
existence of an elusive particle called
the Higgs boson simply put the LHC is a
particle collider that is used to
accelerate particles to astonishing
speeds and at its maximum output and
shoot protons around that 17 mile tunnel
at just six point eight miles per hour
slower than the speed of light the
tunnel is lined with electromagnets to
control this process which make it by
far the largest machine ever built and
one of the most productive since opening
in 2010 the seven detectors have
achieved all they've set out to do and
more and now plans are in motion to
replace it with an even bigger Collider
that can further the answers of the
questions that have been raised as a
result of what the LHC is found number
two
Berthe tunnel borer the Alaskan Way
Viaduct is a crucial transport artery
through Seattle but following the 2001
Nisqually Earthquake it became clear
that the double-decker freeway posed a
safety hazard plans were put in place to
build a replacement rather than
constructing a new road above ground the
decision was made to carve a huge tunnel
under downtown Seattle
to connect the southern part of the city
to the north this result was the state
route 99 tunnel which is two miles long
and has double decked and is capable of
accommodating the hundred and ten
thousand vehicles that use the original
viaduct each day and more the problem
that the designers had to overcome was a
construction of the tunnel however was
that there wasn't a machine on earth big
enough to do what they needed part of
the project therefore involved designing
a new tunnel borer which became known as
Bertha and was the most massive one ever
built
the 6700 ton machine had a cutter head
diameter of 57 and a half feet and was
326 feet long at a cost of 80 million
dollars it had to be built at specialist
factories in Japan before being shipped
to Seattle and 41 parts and constructed
at the entrance to the plant tunnel it
began work in July of 2013 and despite
encountering several delays it completed
its job by April of 2017 as there was no
further use for Bertha however the
machine was dismantled at the end of the
route and only a few of the parts are
still in existence and are now at
display at a local Transportation Museum
as a record of the huge effort it took
to create the tunnel that millions of
people rely upon each year number one
the International Space Station first
launched in 1998 the International Space
Station isn't the largest machine or
vehicle ever built but it's definitely
one of the most impressive things ever
designed by humankind and has sent
plenty of records of its own it's
actually the ninth of the eleven space
stations that have entered Earth's orbit
but is by far the biggest of them all
with a modular design extra pieces have
regularly been sent up to attach to it
and currently it's 239 point 4 feet long
and 350 7.5 feet wide it was built and
is run as an international collaboration
between most of the nations on earth
that are involved in space exploration
and is an important tool for scientific
research for both studies of the effects
of microgravity and of understanding the
wider universe due to its position in
orbit the most impressive record that
the ISS holds is that it's the fastest
moving vehicle that any human has set
foot inside it circles the earth once
every 90 2.68 minutes which means it's
traveling at an astonishing 17,000 100
miles per hour even if it was possible
to reach this speed at ground level.
