Burj Al Arab-Engineering Connections


Extravagant, Sumptuous. This is the paradise of the richest in the world. This is the hotel which
you find it here, any time of year. Man made-Marvel.


After watch the episode, you should know the following challenges :

1. How to counteract energy of waves ??
2. How to make the hotel stand in the sand ??
3. How to bolt the trusses to the building at variable temperatures ??
4. How to equalize the pressure between the inside and outside of the building ??
5. How to avoid the dimmer catching fire ??
6. How to create Laminar flow ??


Games of jacks, An engine cam, The pages of the phone book, A revolution of fire hose design,
A camera flash.

The holes can absorb energy of waves that protected the hotel from corrosion.



Audi Quattro AWD. This system permanently and ultimately distribute the power of the engine
to all four wheels. Basket Clutch

Skin Friction
Basically, you can image Audi Quattro AWD is the same as the picture shown. Interleave them page by page.

Hard to pull books separately.









Skin Friction.

Heat would expand or contract the steel.





Camshaft











No matter how much the steel expands, it can still be aligned to the bottom hole.

Stack Effect

Revolving Door

The dimmer could catch fire. Harmonic Distortion. A sort of chaotic current in the wire.

Camera Flash.Capacitor. In cameras, the capacitor stores up energy, and release it at once
setting off the flash.  But, in the buildings combine with inductors which is like the filter, removing
the chaotic currents that can catch fire.
Camera Flash : Capacitor = Catapult (Aircraft Carrier) : Accumulator

Fountain. The symbol of prodigal and opulence.

To maneuver the water like this, you need to eliminate Turbulence.

Laminar Flow

Fire fighters needed to stream water higher to quench infernos. Turbulence reduced the range of  water cannon. Because the water broke up in the air.

The liquid inside is thick viscous sugar syrup, the colorful blobs are the food dye added.



Turn the handle five times.

Mess and then Reverse it.







Thick, viscous liquid like the sugar syrup is very smooth. Easy to make them move in a laminar way. They don't behave turbulently like water.

To make water flow like laminar that needed to remove turbulence.
Revolution fire hose design.
