Hi there, professional crane operator here

This crane has been build down below like any other crane, when they started construction of the building
There is a steel box around the crane, that locks itself on one of the tower pieces, it then lifts the whole crane up while there is a new tower piece hanging on the hook. (To balance the crane)
When they lifted up the crane, they slide the new tower piece in, and repeat.

The wider part is what I mean.

This is a confusing perspective.

There are temp elevators / manlifts / buckhoists in line with the crane, but that is just coincidence. These will be used until the permanent elevators are operational, then remived and those windows installed.

The crane is a tower crane beyond the building. A tower crane had a square tubular mast that had a telescoping section. It can add sections of tower to make it taller, and also remove sections when it’s time to remove the crane.

Look for time lapse videos of jumping a tower crane.

There are cranes that can be assembled from parts that fit in a typical elevator or even carried up stairs to the roof, but these are usually used on existing buildings where a tower crane is no longer possible.

On these very high building most of the time the crane is here from the start and construct the building floors by floor til it finish on the top.

Small crane on the ground builds the tower crane. The tower crane then adds sections as it needs to be taller. Disassembly is the reverse.

It started from the bottom now it’s here.

Very carefully.

stack up like LEGO

People are always trying to disprove that transformers aren’t real and the war for Cyberton never happened. That was Krane an autobot working a side gig.

A sky hook

Here’s a good video [https://youtu.be/oSyC8pxJdeQ?si=PnrNyhp4NtukvjSZ](https://youtu.be/oSyC8pxJdeQ?si=PnrNyhp4NtukvjSZ) tells how they get taller.

Gonna take a crane to get that out.

They haul it up in pieces, and assemble the crane in place.

It’s hard mounted to the structure. As needed it shrinks and lowers it’s parts down. The last pieces are grabbed by another crane. Or a crane built along the side to specifically move it down. Or a helicopter who the hell knows

It’s an uplifting product from IKEA.

Many many African swallows

You see that thing hanging off the side? That’s the elevator. As you can imagine, the inside elevators can’t be installed until the building reaches its maximum height.

The metal tower that that crane is sitting on is where the elevator shafts will be, and it grows as the building rises. Like, most of the crane is inside the building.

Self-disassembly and removal via most likely a sky crane/helicopter. Also it’s possible the structure of the building interior shafts (elevator) have some built in ability to slowly lower these down in pieces. But they are big boys, so it all depends on the available space at the bottom

Uhhh someone, or a group of people assembled it.

How is this up here? Exploring the Mysteries of Celestial Bodies

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered how those stars and planets manage to stay suspended in the air? It’s a question that has puzzled humans for centuries, and one that continues to intrigue scientists and space enthusiasts alike.

From the moon to Mars, and from asteroids to black holes, the celestial bodies that make up our solar system are a constant reminder of the awe-inspiring mysteries that lie just beyond our reach. So, how do they get "up here" in the first place?

Gravity: The Ultimate Explanation

One of the primary forces responsible for keeping our solar system in order is gravity. This fundamental force of nature, first described by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century, is what keeps planets, moons, and even spacecraft in orbit around the sun.

Gravity is what prevents objects from floating off into space, and what holds our very own Earth in place. It’s also what causes objects to attract each other, whether it’s a ball falling towards the ground or two stars orbiting each other in a distant galaxy.

But how does gravity manage to reach out and affect objects across vast distances, such as between the Earth and the moon? The answer lies in the way gravity warps the fabric of spacetime itself.

Warped Spacetime

According to Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity is not a force that acts between objects, but rather a curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. This means that the more massive the object, the more it warps the surrounding spacetime, creating a gravitational field.

Imagine spacetime as a trampoline, with massive objects like stars and planets causing ripples and creases in its surface. Other objects then follow these curvatures, moving along geodesic paths that we perceive as gravity.

Other Forces at Play

While gravity is the dominant force in our solar system, there are other forces at play that help shape the behavior of celestial bodies. One of these forces is electromagnetism, which is responsible for holding atoms and molecules together.

Electromagnetism also plays a crucial role in the behavior of charged particles, such as cosmic rays and solar flares. These particles can interact with magnetic fields and solar winds, influencing the movement of planets and asteroids in the process.

Conclusion

So, how do celestial bodies get "up here" in the first place? The answer lies in a combination of gravity, warped spacetime, and other forces that shape the behavior of objects in our solar system.

From the intricate dance of planetary orbits to the catastrophic events of supernovae and black holes, the universe is a complex and fascinating place. By studying these celestial bodies and the forces that govern their behavior, we can gain a deeper understanding of the workings of the universe and our place within it.

So the next time you look up at the night sky, take a moment to appreciate the incredible forces that keep those stars and planets "up here" – and maybe even wonder what mysteries still lie waiting to be discovered.

I’m wondering how on Gods green earth did they get this enormous crane on top of this building? Anyone who can explain this? I need to know!
