VIVA – Humans have extraordinary abilities, especially in making incredible machines. In this world, various machines have been around for years and many have gained global recognition.
In creating and designing machines it takes years to finally be able to serve in accordance with the original purpose of manufacture.
So, here are the most powerful and truly impressive machines by people.
1. Three Gorges Dam
Three Gorges Damn Cina
This powerful machine or structure stands at a height of 607 feet and is nearly 1.5 miles long, it is taller than the Washington Monument and longer than the Brooklyn Bridge.
Its generating capacity of 22,500 megawatts is 1.5 times that of the second-placed dam, the Three Gorges, generating an average of 273,790 megawatts of electricity each day.
2. The BelAZ 75710
The Belaz
A Drum Truck the Size of a Tennis Court. This monster body machine weighs almost 400 tons. Fully stocked, the truck is approaching 900 tons. It is 32 feet wide and 67 feet long, and 26 feet which means it's basically the size of a standard tennis court.
This engine requires 2,300 twin horsepower diesel generators. Similar to its smaller cousins ??especially the 400 tons trucks built by Caterpillar, Bucyrus and Liebherr BelAZ lives and works in large open pit mines.
3.Universal Alloy
Universal Alloy is one of the leading suppliers of structural components to companies, including Boeing, Airbus and defense manufacturers.
This machine is a 75-year-old and 9000-ton extruded aluminum press machine, the most powerful in the world.
The machine generates 16,200 tons of pressure to turn 5,000 bathtub-sized solid metal billets into toothpaste. The machine is nearly 300 feet long and anchored to a 10-foot-thick concrete foundation.
4. Emma Morsk
Emma Morsk is the largest container ship ever built. It sits at 1,302 feet long, weighs 23,000 tons and the engine itself is 89 feet long and 44 feet high.
However, the fuel efficiency is not fantastic, consuming 0.260 lb/hp/house at maximum economy. It is estimated that the engine consumes over 39 barrels/hour and costs an exorbitant $34/minute to run.
5. Komatsu D565A Dozer
Mainly used by mine operators in the US, Canada and Australia, this machine is the largest bulldozer produced and has been in production since 1991. It has a 1,150-horsepower engine and this machine is capable of moving 90 cubic yards/track.
6. Liebherr 9800 Mining Excavator
Liebherr 9800 Mining Excavator
The ever-impressive Liebherr, manufacturer of several colossal cranes, also built one of the largest bucket excavators with the R 9800.
Another machine typically used for mining, the 9800 weighs 1,785,700 pounds and has a bucket capacity of 62 cubic yards.
7. Bagger 293 Bucket Wheel Excavator
Bagger is not only the largest excavator, but also holds the world record for the largest land vehicle ever built.
At 310 feet high and 721 feet long, this 4-year-old German machine can move 100,000 cubic yards of dirt/day using its 20 rotating buckets.
8. NASA Crawler
The 50-year-old crawler was actually being modified in 2015 to help launch the spacecraft that will take us to Mars. The crawler is 131 feet long, 114 feet wide and weighs over 6 million pounds and this machine basically used to transport NASA rockets from one place to another at 1 mph.
9. TBM (Tunnel Drilling Machine)
TBM (Mesin Bor Terowongan)
The largest and most powerful Tunnel Drilling Machine has the name “Big Bertha.” It stands at an impressive 57 feet in diameter.
It was specifically built to dig under the city of Seattle, for a 2-mile road. However, in the middle of the project, the machine broke down and it looks like it will take another 2 years for it to be completely repaired.
