0 -> Would say on the list of cool and interesting things nuclear actors go pretty high on that list [I] mean from an engineering standpoint

6.602 -> They were incredibly impressive. There's loads of difficult engineering going on

10.381 -> They're [just] [tons] of bits and pieces that I personally don't fully understand and also of course on a scary standpoint

16.181 -> They're pretty impressive too. I mean I know it rarely happens, but when a nuclear reactor explodes well, you certainly know about it

23.072 -> I mean It causes a huge explosion also covers the entire surrounding area in radiation which stays there for thousands upon thousands of years

30.662 -> I mean that's impressive, and that makes it very cool now unfortunately in Minecraft right now

35.172 -> We do not have nuclear energy, and we don't have nuclear reactors

38.822 -> But I thought would be a fun redstone project to work on so let's begin so the first thing I've done it is created this

43.872 -> 15 up by 15 of by 10 block D bunker that

47.442 -> Drops down into the ground now. I decided to use iron blocks for this one

50.611 -> Just because I feel [like] they look reinforced and industrial

53.342 -> And that's the sort of thing that we want [to] be going for here because of course we're building a nuclear reactor

57.002 -> Okay, you don't have like pretty wood and leaves and [things] like that and a nuclear reactor

61.412 -> Nope you have iron. You have like redstone hard-looking blocks, and that's what we're going to be going for here. So the next thing

67.742 -> I'm going to do is create the control [world] system

70.202 -> and I'm going to start that off down the bottom so I'm going to go three blocks in on either side that's going to be [around]

75.481 -> About there, and I'm going to place a sticky piston

78.522 -> Every block just like this, and then I'm going to do the same thing going across right here. So just like that

84.092 -> So we're going to create a full by [four] area of sticky pistons

87.301 -> Just all facing upwards in this sort of grid formation and then on top of those sticky pistons that we against place yet more

94.831 -> sticky pistons and then on top of those sticky pistons

98.162 -> We're going to place in at the slime blocks and also these black stain dat glass box

103.712 -> Just like this now these are all going to be the control rods which essentially cool down the nuclear reactor?

109.022 -> They stop it from overheating and exploding. So these are pretty important all of these are now looking lovely

114.812 -> So we're going to chuck in all of the redstone across the bottom

118.092 -> Just powering all of our [bottom] [sticky] [pistons] because if you haven't quite guessed yet, we're creating double piston extenders at the bottom here

124.602 -> So all of this redstone is power all of those then on top. We're going to have a removable objects

129.992 -> I'm going to be using obsidian because once again these need to look like solid

133.512 -> Industrial blocks and something about obsidian just looks really wrong solid so I'm just placing all of these and then until all of those

140.502 -> We're going to need our redstone in once again. So that's just going to make its way around

144.852 -> Connecting up all of these and that's of course going to do our double extender

148.472 -> [this] is going to power the second piston, but then to do the final block retraction

152.462 -> We actually need to place some blocks down the bottom here which are going to power our pistons

158.052 -> When they need to retract the final block and the only way [that] we can do that is

162.432 -> Create this sort of waffle shape that we're doing right here, so as you can see

165.812 -> I'm just placing it redstone in between all the blocks going down like this

170.012 -> And that will do it the second block for traction to power all this stuff

173.282 -> I'm just going to place a couple blocks at the end like this with redstone at going up like that

177.512 -> And then I'm going to have a repeater and a repeater set to four ticks

181.302 -> With a block right here and a repeater set to two ticks and that's basically going to do the double

186.012 -> extension and also the first block retraction then for the second block retraction

190.382 -> I'm going to need a falling intimal a stable circuit and the way that I'm going to do that is we're placing blocks in a

195.242 -> Bit like this with a repeater

197.112 -> Running out into our steepest and facing upwards with a block on top to create a monostable circuit

202.082 -> And then we're going to have our repeater that's going to be running out into a block up like this

205.842 -> we're going to have another a movable object right there and

208.392 -> Some redstone and keep things symmetrical we're going to do exactly the same thing on the other side

213.012 -> so we need to place a redstone torch and then our repeater our monostable circuits and

219.312 -> Our other repeater running out into the block with the a movable object and the redstone dust on top now one very

226.212 -> Important thing to notice is that

227.712 -> This repeater right here has to [be] set to three ticks because otherwise it will fire out all the blocks

231.992 -> but now if we run an input into this thing you can see we get our double piston extension as looking lovely and

237.912 -> Also our double piston retraction which looks awesome, when they're all in sync

242.822 -> Just like that, and that is the bottom layer of our control rods all fully functional now

248.592 -> [it's] time to place in the fuel rods. These the actual uranium up which is going to cause our nuclear reactor to work

253.802 -> So put on your hazmat suits make sure that you're all safe and sound before you start touching this stuff because otherwise you know it

259.442 -> Can do some truly terrible things to you?

260.912 -> But we're going to place three blocks in going upwards like that

264.171 -> Those are all our uranium blocks

266.021 -> And they are going to make their way across just

268.972 -> Like this in this sort of formation and we're going to create a grid [of] them in between all of our control rods

275.532 -> So where this redstone [crosses] essentially where we have this sort [of] cross going on that's where uranium is going to be going?

281.782 -> That's where it's going to be popping in and that means that when we extend our control rods that will essentially pop up in this

287.352 -> area in between our fuel rods

289.752 -> which are the uranium or the [epital] blocks and

292.282 -> That means they should end up looking pretty cool in fact

294.551 -> I'll quickly demonstrate [to] you

295.782 -> How it looks so we do this?

296.741 -> And then look they all extend between and it looks nice [or] at least I think looks nice

301.572 -> So we have to do is you have to fill in at that full grid take it right the way out to this [error]

306.702 -> Right here, and it should end up looking pretty cool

309.622 -> So obviously we've got the bottom control rods, and we also have the nuclear fuel rods. Which is pretty good going so far

315.402 -> I mean, I would say that the development of this is gone considerably fast in the development of a real nuclear reactor

320.622 -> So I suppose that's a positive, but now we're going to start work on the top control rods and to do that

325.152 -> I'm going to place three glowstone up like this

327.102 -> And then a [glowstone] across there and we're going to place a line of glowstone

331.032 -> Go right the way above all of our control rods

333.491 -> so there is the bottom control Rod and this one lines up with it perfectly and this one lines up with it as well and

338.981 -> we're going to do a bunch of lines going right the way across just like this so a line of them there and

343.762 -> then another line [of] them right there [and]

347.092 -> Another line of them above the final set of control rods then on top of all of this glowstone

352.152 -> we're going to place in a bunch of Redstone and

355.102 -> That just goes in like this, [and] if you're wondering why I'm using Glowstone

358.421 -> [it's] because it's a

359.391 -> Transparent block

360.171 -> That you can also place redstone on top of which means that we don't get any bud powering of the pistons

365.202 -> Which is pretty essential because otherwise all of them would stay extended and your control rods wouldn't be working properly

371.081 -> But anyway

371.562 -> We now need to place in a sticky pistons in this sort of formation right here directly above where all of your bottom control rods

377.771 -> Are and those should go in just like this and then on the faces of all a sticky pistons

383.182 -> We're going to placing in the black stained glass

386.021 -> So black stained glass on all [of] their [faces] now powering this one is actually Gonna be dead easy

390.192 -> I'm just going to place in some glowstone on the ends of all of these with our redstone art once again

395.592 -> I'm going to place solid blocks in all of these just because I think it looks pretty cool

399.172 -> And we're going to run at that redstone down a little bit. Just like this redstone on top just like that

405.162 -> We're going to take out our lever that we [placed] down earlier sticky piston facing downwards with a redstone block on its face

410.482 -> Which means that that block will extend down up powering all of this circuitry and that is the input line for the entire thing?

417.252 -> so if we place in a lever right here

418.722 -> And give it a flick you can see that all of the control rods extend and this essentially shuts off our nuclear reactor, okay?

425.622 -> So this stops any nuclear reactions from occurring which means that if things are overheating for example or we don't need that much power

432.252 -> We can actually turn it off and that will that will shut everything off and then we want it to turn back on again

437.052 -> We do is flick this even right here all of our control rods are attracted and we get full nuclear reaction happening which means I?

443.872 -> Probably shouldn't be standing here. I mean, I'm clearly not in the correct safety gear

447.772 -> This is very very bad [for] me the actual nuclear reactor itself is pretty much done. [I] mean, that's it

453.702 -> That is [a] simple mechanism. We've just created right there the control Rod system is all in place

458.352 -> [so] now I'm doing is I'm working [on] the water area

462.502 -> Because for those [who] don't know most nuclear reactors basically work by heating up

467.082 -> And then that heats up water the water then evaporates turning into steam which travels through a turbine which spins that turbine

474.832 -> generating power

475.632 -> So now we have to do is actually create

477.352 -> the water Holder

478.722 -> And they'll go to placing all of the redstone up at the top here and one thing that I will [just] say is as you

482.952 -> guys know water and Redstone

484.212 -> Do not mix particularly well

485.652 -> Okay

486.202 -> Make sure that your water does not fall through any gaps that you've left and just completely destroy your [redstone] build because well

492.732 -> Then you're in [for] a pretty bad time

493.902 -> But now I'm just going to cover this thing up leaving a 3X3 [hole] in the center

497.832 -> just One thing to mention for those of you who are building at home the ends of your water holder should match up with the ends

504.222 -> Of the emerald blocks or your fuel rods, or the water should line up with the ends of [your] control Rod

509.592 -> So hopefully that should give you a rough idea of the size of this thing

512.572 -> anyway

513.072 -> Now what we're going to do is

514.042 -> We are going to take a pipe output from this thing and we're going to take up by Six blocks

519.012 -> So that is one block right there, so one block of the pipe of two three

523.912 -> Four five six [and] that's going to run up to the top right there and when to do that on all four of the sites

532.432 -> Next up in the center of our pipe

534.192 -> We're going to placing in the various different fans and things we're going to have in here. So we're gonna have one fan there

539.202 -> we're going to go up another block and we're going to create another fan in a slightly different position and

544.492 -> Then the final fan up at the top right here now obviously while going to have to use some imagination of this one

550.732 -> Because well they just look like

553.162 -> crosses and exes and things but in the grand scheme of things

556.812 -> I [think] that's probably a good start now the next thing

559.482 -> We're going to do is actually create a moving turbine system, and you guys have guessed it

563.172 -> We're going to be building up the famous piston feed tape

565.692 -> I absolutely love these things you guys have noticed then the comments section

568.932 -> I love these things, but we need to place in one set of pistons that are facing in this direction

574.162 -> And they need to leave a gap or one block in each direction right there

578.142 -> And then you want to do the same thing on the other side, so another line of pistons traveling up like this

584.422 -> Just in that direction once again

586.152 -> We've got a gap of one block right there and a gap one block right there then in this direction

591.472 -> We're going to have another line of [pistons] going up like this

595.402 -> there we go and

597.922 -> Finally in this direction right here

600.112 -> We need to place another line of pistons

602.782 -> Going up in this direction right here now for those of you who haven't built a piston feed tape before

608.002 -> You may notice that all of these pistons are facing in [different] directions

611.892 -> And they're all facing across like this and then across like that then across like this and across like that

617.502 -> And that is because we're going to be pushing blocked in a cyclic formation

621.712 -> Now for some of the redstone wiring so we want to place in two blocks against these pistons right here

627.492 -> Which are above all the secretary and they go up a little bit like this

630.882 -> And then on top of all [of] those we're going to place in Redstone

633.552 -> Just like that

634.122 -> And then you want to place a block up like this and another two blocks running across on that side as well

639.492 -> So you're two blocks?

640.792 -> Going across like [that]

642.012 -> And then in the center of all of those you can take out those blocks and place in a repeater

646.402 -> Set to two ticks

647.692 -> We've registered us right there

649.092 -> so repeater set to two ticks for incident -

651.172 -> Repeater set to two ticks and you're ready to send us and then you want to do the same thing on the other side

655.032 -> But just basically flip it around

656.572 -> so once again two blocks two blocks and two blocks two redstone dust on top of all [of] those and

661.901 -> Then down on the bottom here. It's broke up like that

664.851 -> Redstone dust and a repeater set the two ticks and just do the same thing

668.451 -> once again all the way up to the top see your blocks and

671.721 -> your repeaters two ticks Redstone Redstone

674.381 -> And our repeaters set to two ticks so that is pretty much all of the timing circuitry done now

679.932 -> We need to create a redstone clock some mana stable circuit

682.422 -> And then the system to transmit the signals up through all of those to connect up all the [redstone]

687.042 -> We're going to place in a block down the bottom here

689.112 -> and then glowstone basically wiggling its way right the way up to the top just like that, so

695.151 -> Diagonals all the way across with redstone going up just like this, and then do the same thing on the other side

700.571 -> That's a block down [the] bottom right there

702.651 -> We've redstone like that, and then glowstone wiggling its way all the way up to the top

708.101 -> We've redstone once again

709.552 -> Connecting up all of those then we're going to place a block down the bottom here with Redstone dust right there and do the same

714.672 -> Thing on the other side and then we just need to create a line of redstone

718.242 -> Which is going to connect up both of those so I'm going to make a line of blocks. Just going across like this

724.511 -> We're going to place three [blocks] there

726.042 -> And then a bunch of blocks on the lower level going right the way across and repeat the same thing on the other side

731.651 -> So look up like this

732.461 -> And then we run the blocks out like that with a repeater and redstone running across off in this direction here

739.091 -> We're going to run it to around about that point and then a repeater we once again at Redstone up running

744.071 -> It across like that now we need to find that the central block so I would say that

747.531 -> Block right there is going to be our central section

750.011 -> So we're going to take out all [of] these right here [place] some redstone right there a sticky piston facing upwards with a block on

755.862 -> Its face and do the same thing on the other side and then a repeater running into that redstone and a repeater running into that

762.101 -> Redstone and down the bottom here

763.721 -> We're going to place a block with a redstone torch of facing upwards which should trigger our system

769.491 -> You heard all of the pistons firing and then running into that we're going to have ourselves a comparator

775.672 -> With a hopper clock with one item on the inside

778.811 -> So if we just place all of this in just like this you can see when we place in the item we should see

783.922 -> All of our pistons [it] will all start firing and they are perfectly in [synced] that is the way we want things to work

789.651 -> but for now

790.482 -> I think against place a lever down here and shut off [the] mechanism because otherwise that will [drop] [in] [math]

794.932 -> Final details now first things first I need to place in a line of blocks going out from [that] redstone right there

801.322 -> Into the sides of our hoppers and what that means is when our control rods are extended our

806.692 -> Hoppers will be shut [off] which means that our turbine will not be moving because of course the nuclear reactor is turned off there are

813.252 -> No nuclear reactions happening there which means that there's no steam running through the turbines which means the turbine should be moving

818.841 -> But then when we flick the scene right here

820.841 -> Obviously our control rods retract and that means that our turbine should be working you can see all of the pistons [fine]

826.612 -> So now we have to do is actually fill in our turbine with blocks and the way that I like to do it is

831.172 -> By alternating glass and iron blocks, so what you have to do is find a set of pistons

836.091 -> With just redstone running into them that not the repeaters

838.721 -> and [we] need to place a block and

840.322 -> then some glass and then iron block and then some glass then I am blog and then some glass you guys get the idea [but]

846.232 -> Then when there is repeaters you have to skip that block and you need to continue on your pattern so iron block glass

852.651 -> iron Block glass iron block a glass

855.072 -> It's fine because Redstone is right there so that needs to be up against that piston and then once again. We make our way around

861.442 -> just like this, and then the glass skipping a block because of course you've got the repeaters there and

867.292 -> Just carry it on until you reach the end and it should work out absolutely perfectly then you need to repeat that process

873.531 -> Right the way to the very top

875.002 -> So this is what we've created

876.442 -> And we have now finished [on] Nuclear power station on Nuclear reactor build and I have to say it looks out to you fantastic

883.992 -> So currently all of our control rods are extended our nuclear reactor is shut off, but when we flick this even right here

890.961 -> Everything retracts all of the control rods

893.172 -> Have been retracted which means that we have nuclear reactions happening

896.021 -> And that means that the steam is running through the system and our turbine is turning which is giving us power

902.091 -> We now have power from the power station. Which is awesome

905.562 -> So this thing is now fully functional obviously if you wanted to you could then build like a big

910.131 -> Protective dome around this thing are they normally do in Nuclear power stations which would look epic

914.891 -> I personally think this is an awesome build for your world

918.141 -> It's just one of those fun projects to work on it, and I hope you've enjoyed it

921.432 -> But unfortunately ladies and gentleman that is all I've got um today [if] you did enjoy this video
