Tax me I'm Canadian agreed and cats up there to.

I know, I had to cut back on how often I upload to rebuild by video reserve count.

Hahaha!! I never thought that, but now that you mention it, your right!

Couldn't be Todd Hoffman , if it were the excavator would be broken , the ground would never be properly de-watered , the haul truck would be on it's side and the mine fire would have spread to the surrounding forest and that's just before lunch

There are a few ways an underground coal mine fire can start. Some soft coals will ignite from blasting. Anthracite is much harder to ignite and the most common way this coal ignites is at the outcrop as a result of people dumping garbage in old stripping pits.

That is actually steam from an underground mine fire. Plus the material he is digging is hot and dry from the fire, adding to more dust

Slower

While there is a possibility I may film a new 11T, I will not film a 320D, sorry. I am a mining guy and this channel is strictly about mining-class equipment

Those levers connect to the foot pedals on the floor and control the machine's travel. The whole reason those levers are there is for operator preference, to either use the foot pedals to travel the machine, or the hand levers.

PAmining I find personally for tracking forward 99.9% of the time I'll use my feet and tracking backwards it's about 50/50 depending on how fast I need to track. But it's waaay more comfortable to track with your feet so you can keep your hands on the sticks.

He'll mine right through it. There's only two ways to put out a coal mine fire- pump lots of water down boreholes or dig it out

No the smoke is from the burning coal below the rock. You may also be seeing the steam from the heat generated from the burning coal.

Hello, Why is coal burning underground?Combustion needs oxygen where is it coming from?

Peprita Heart There are a few ways an underground coal mine fire can start. Some soft coals will ignite from blasting. Anthracite is much harder to ignite and the most common way this coal ignites is at the outcrop as a result of people dumping and burning garbage in old stripping pits. The oxygen the fire receives is from all the old underground workings, slopes, air shafts, etc.

+allan egleston The overburden gets hauled to the backfill site where it is used to fill in the old pit once the coal has been extracted

They actually tried to exhume the fire at Centralia years ago but failed. By the time a trench was dug to surround the fire it had already spread beyond it.

Both. Steam from an underground mine fire that his mining through, and dust from hot and dry the material is from the heat of the fire

PAmining Is this the Mine Fire that started in the 50's or so ?

VideosByAl Yes. It's been burning for decades. Now the plan is to develop a job and mine through the fire and take out the coal.

PAmining If you feel inclined, a Documentary on the Coal Mine Fire would be very interesting.

VideosByAl Sure will do. Seems to be an interesting topic for many

No. Centralia is not the only mine fire in Pennsylvania.

Coal fires move slowly and there is still millions of tons of good coal on the property. It is not a rapid burning, more like a smoldering. Even so, core temperatures are so hot on this job that blasting has to be done in small sections because the heat of the fire was essentially burning up the ammonium nitrate.

And I thought I did make it long enough lol. I could have made it longer!

+Christopher Robinson Different type of coal up here. This is a high-carbon coal used for water filtration, glass manufacturing, and steel production. Not your typical steam coal. Either which way, we need Trump in office to bring back coal!!
