I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume those are empty canisters. The only OSHA is the 2nd guy's back maybe but I think he's underhanding it too.

E: Quoting for new page. 2nd dude is NOT throwing underhand, maybe some back muscle pullage?

easier to make very deep with old school tech

Old school is a big wicker basket hauled up using a rope attached to a windlass, aka elevator. If you have the technology to build this miner-dicer, you should have already had the technology for a basic elevator a millennia previous. Granted this system in theory could move more men out of a deep shaft very quickly except that it has an obvious weight limit probably not much more than a wicker basket on a rope.

The miner dicer can also work at a slight incline. Basket on a rope requires a perfectly vertical shaft.

Basket on the rope is more likely to break and kill all the miners drop a load of ore and ruin a day of production. Elevators that just didn't randomly fall and kill everyone took a long time to develop.

Seems harder than making an actual elevator out of it.
You'd only need a belt, 3 gears and a pulley and a rope for an elevator.

Also reading the wiki again, it points out that first, miners just stuck rungs onto the side of the dewatering pumpjacks and the man-engine evolved from that laziness

Nice effort but your link-fu is weak today. The first one is forbidden to us filthy foreigners, apparently.



And the second one MAY have a 19:30 but I have no idea what planet these timecodes are from; for sure, nothing including 19: showed up. Ever.



Would love to see a video of this machinework, though!

Sorry about this. The links came from Wikipedia; I was suspicious of the second one myself, but the lovely video player didn't let me fast forward it to check.

As for the first one, now you can have the real German online video watching experience :unsmigghh:

That show is hilarious.

They get a old house, and try out all sort of weird things. Like what happens if you boil petrol, washing your car with a fire fighting helicopter, water in a grease fire in the kitchen, seasoning meat with a shotgun and lot's of stuff with explosives. It's a great show, they have a lot out on Youtube.

It's Norwegian, but some of the videos have subtitles.
Here is a playlist with a lot of them: https://goo.gl/k8VqE0 (google short url because forum want to tag the playlist as a single clip)

Do those emergency stops engage the brakes or do they just cut the power? Will they be able to tow it or will they have to cut that pillar?

On all large construction equipment I've seen it shuts the motor down immediately. They'll probably just bypass the emergency shutoff to get it moved away.

And then never fix it.
