In practice, it could only handle something considerably less than 500 tons. You need clearance all around the boat: beam, draft, and length. To maximize capacity, you have to design the boat's dimensions specifically for the lock, just as Panamax ships are for the Panama Canal.

As a Scot, I have often taken visitors to see the Falkirk Wheel, and every last one of them was entranced by the design, the simplicity and the beauty of this engineering marvel.

Falkirk lad here, I managed to get up onto this while it was being built thanks to my dad somehow getting onto a tour group through his work; didn't do my fear of heights any good going up the shaky scaffolding they had mind you. Also been over it twice (both ways) on a boat, it's a superb piece of engineering and a *lot* easier than the 20-odd lochs you'd need otherwise!

"Eureka" - Ephebian for "Please pass me my towel"

I live about a mile from the Falkirk Wheel and regularly walk my dog there. It never ceases to astonish me.

Im doing a final project in physics over 1 of 5 topics. I saw "The Falkirk Wheel, a rotating boat lift near Falkirk in Scotland" and I was like, I think tom scott should have made a video over this. sure enough, here it is. Thank you ♥

The other interesting thing about the Falkirk Wheel is that it was originally designed as a simple figure-of-eight shape. Then some arty type came along and put those pointy bits on the plans (they're supposed to look like a Celtic axe-head, allegedly). As a result, there's a big notch cut into one of the viewing platforms 'cause otherwise the pointy bits would hit it. So remember folks: make sure the last person to touch the plans is an engineer, not an architect; otherwise the engineer will have to bodge it after you've cast the concrete, and that's expensive.

@IstasPumaNevada

8 жыл бұрын

+Edward Cree But the edge of the pointy bits never extends past the path traced by the outside of the functional circle that the caissons rotate in. Since the wheel does full rotations instead of only going 180 degrees and then back again, there's nothing that the pointy bits would hit that the mechanically-necessary bits wouldn't hit too.

@EdwardCree

8 жыл бұрын

+IstasPumaNevada I'm fairly sure the pointy bits do stick out further, though not by very much (so it's not obvious from the video). However it's some years since I was there, and it's possible I could have misremembered. However, there's definitely a notch in the concrete viewing platform - with a distinctly bodged appearance - that gives the wheel adequate clearance.

@IstasPumaNevada

8 жыл бұрын

Edward Cree Not the best because the camera moves a bit, but if you watch where the rotating parts pass near the base you'll see there's no extra protrusion beyond the functional parts; the decorative parts appear to be curved circular and at the same radius as the edge of the track for the rotating tubs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_Wheel#/media/File:Falkrikwheelanimationmedium.gif Perhaps they needed to modify the platform to conform with health and safety regulations? Such as keeping the moving parts further from arm's reach, or making sure there was enough room between the platform and the moving part so that if someone jumped or fell over the railing the clearance was too great for them to be crushed. Whatever the case, I would like to see the boat lift in person someday. It's very impressive engineering.

I love the Falkirk Wheel, it's just a fantastic piece of modern engineering. It's a modern piece of engineering that isn't a bridge or a building or anything like that. It's, it's just wonderful.

It was engineered by the Butterley company Butterley near Ripley in Derbyshire some miles from Scotland. The Butterley company also built St Pancras railway station in London and the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne. I think their engineers where clued up on Archimedes principles.

One of my family once remarked how amazing it seemed for such heavy canal boats to cross an iron trough viaduct, and that they were surprised it could take the weight... 2200 years after Archimedes and they still don't know how displacement works...

Ror shach This comment aged rather poorly given that you're literally imprisoning blokes for joke videos on KZread while thousands of girls are raped by "Asian" (ubiquitously middle eastern) gangs.

Been on this. It’s amazing!

Love it 😊 ‼️More of these videos ‼️

Awesome video, great job. 👍

Reminds me of the hydraulic lift locks we have in Ontario. They're just side by side rather than pivoting. The same principal I think.

The company that helped build these, at the same time was refurbishing the anderton boatlift, which is of the design you refer to. Both very interesting.
