>>25774582 >You need balls of steel to do such a work They arn't that deep. Like 4-8 meters.

Makes no sense.

its called caisson excavation and they still do it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wBCMZ2kPRWQ

>>25774582 holy mother of ESL

I think the same with bridges. How the fuck do they work?

>>25774653 How can bridges be real if rivers arn't real?

>>25774657 It just builds itself

>>25774620 That nuts my nigga But that's reinforced concrete, which is safer. I read they use concrete rings to build wells in africa in that manner. But a lining of bricks and mortar wouldn't make me feel safe.

>>25774653 its all about two different forces pushing against each other and forming a sort of equilibrium

>>25774677 the forces being gravity from the weight on the one end of the bridge pushing against gravity from the weight of the other end of the bridge

I doubt they were doing that ages ago. What you're describing is how it's done now just with concrete rings instead of bricks.

>>25774688 They could try to dig it first and then try to make the lining, but it wouldn't be much safer and they would have to keep draining the well while lining the walls

I had some sort of interest, fixation for wells as a kid

>>25774688 Also that first vid is funny, it looks as if the ground rises up

>>25774701 that's all well and good

>>25774701 its important to look after one's wellness

>>25774701 im glad you're focused on your wellbeing

>>25774702 I had to watch it like 3 times to see that WASN'T what was happening

>>25774688 What the fuck

>>25774597 The well of the Reichsburg Kyffhausen is 176m deep.

>>25774738 >Many of the deepest castle wells in the world are in Germany. They include those at Kyffhausen Castle (176 metres (577 ft)), Königstein Fortress (152 metres) and the Hohenburg in Homberg (150 metres). Apparently germoney is numbah #1 in deep wells

>>25774738 In order to supply fresh air to the well diggers during construction, a dividing wall, usually of wood, was built into the well shaft, any gaps being stuffed with straw and pitch to make it as airtight as possible. Over the projecting "chimney" so formed, a fireplace was built that sucked air through the well shaft below. Fresh air (and hence oxygen) circulated through the artificially built U-shaped pipe so created, its two halves being separated by the dividing wall. This supplied fresh air at the "bend" which provided the diggers with sufficient oxygen.

>>25774746 Other nations had better dowsers.

I would dig in a spiral. Remove dirt. Rock and mortar. Remove dirt. Rock and mortar. Working in a spiral would keep me from battling crumbling walls from all sides. How would bernd approach this problem?

>>25774688 THIS IS SO COOL.

>>25774738 >>25774746 But apparently those are dig on stone

>>25774761 Yes, if you dig through the bedrock there is little need for bricks.

>>25774755 >>25774734 >>25774731 When I discovered their channel I spend whole night watching dudes dig wells. They have millions views. https://www.youtube.com/@АлександрЛобанов

>>25774817 Lol I am surprised this is even an occupation do slavs still need wells for fresh drinking water?

>>25774920 Most of our population is urban and have tap water. Drilling is much more widespread for independent water sourcing but there is still a demand for wells too.

The well I grew up with was dug through red clay with nothing reinforcing the walls with a shovel as far as I'm aware. I was lowered down it once to fix something, I don't remember the details. It wasn't that deep, maybe 20 meters
