We are given the following limit expression to solve:

\[
\lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 21 \cdot x^{819} \cdot \left( \sqrt[40]{x^{21} + 1} - \sqrt[40]{x^{21} - 1} \right) \right)
\]

### Step-by-Step Approach:

1. **Factor the Difference of Roots**:
   Let's define \( f(x) = \sqrt[40]{x^{21} + 1} - \sqrt[40]{x^{21} - 1} \).
   At large values of \( x \), both \( x^{21} + 1 \) and \( x^{21} - 1 \) are approximately equal to \( x^{21} \). Hence, the difference of roots can be approximated using binomial expansion.

2. **Binomial Approximation for Large \( x \)**:
   Using the binomial expansion for large powers:
   \[
   \sqrt[40]{x^{21} + 1} \approx x^{21/40} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{40 x^{21}} \right),
   \]
   and
   \[
   \sqrt[40]{x^{21} - 1} \approx x^{21/40} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{40 x^{21}} \right).
   \]

   Now, subtracting these approximations:
   \[
   f(x) = \left( x^{21/40} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{40 x^{21}} \right) \right) - \left( x^{21/40} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{40 x^{21}} \right) \right).
   \]
   Simplifying:
   \[
   f(x) = x^{21/40} \left( \frac{2}{40 x^{21}} \right) = \frac{2}{40} x^{21/40 - 21}.
   \]
   This simplifies further to:
   \[
   f(x) = \frac{2}{40} x^{-819/40}.
   \]

3. **Substitute Back into the Original Expression**:
   Now, substitute this approximation of \( f(x) \) back into the original limit expression:
   \[
   \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 21 \cdot x^{819} \cdot \frac{2}{40} x^{-819/40} \right).
   \]
   Simplifying this:
   \[
   = \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 21 \cdot \frac{2}{40} \cdot x^{819 - 819/40} \right).
   \]

4. **Simplify the Exponent**:
   The exponent simplifies as follows:
   \[
   819 - \frac{819}{40} = 819 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{40} \right) = 819 \cdot \frac{39}{40} = 798.075.
   \]

   Therefore, the expression becomes:
   \[
   \lim_{x \to \infty} \left( 21 \cdot \frac{2}{40} \cdot x^{798.075} \right).
   \]
   Since the exponent is positive (\( 798.075 > 0 \)), as \( x \to \infty \), the whole expression will tend to infinity.

Thus, the limit is:

\[
\boxed{\infty}
\]
