Description
Engineering News – Gelatinous Animals Inspiring Underwater Vehicle Design (3:30).
This week's engineering failure is the Sayano-Shushenskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant Failure (7:05).
The power plant dam had significant water pressure and other issues (15:15), which ultimately led to the failure of turbine 2 in 2009 (24:20). The formal investigation (30:15) created more questions than answers, but the turbine hall was eventually rebuilt (36:10) and the power plant is still operating today.
