What you see here is a TAKRAF RB293 bucket wheel excavator. It's a big machine alright -notice the tiny little people in the lower right corner! But there are other machines even bigger, made to move mountains, dig tunnels, build bridges and tall buildings, and accelerate particles. See and read about them in a roundup at Dark Roasted Blend.
