My dad did maintenance on the Panama canal and told me the motors to swing the lock gates were not powerful. He said the gates were so well balanced that a man could open and close them. The powerful unit was the mule engine that pulled the ship through the locks. The big maintenance item is keeping the upper part of the canal dedged

I live near one of the canals that Leonardo designed in the 15th century. They still have dams placed where he wanted them to be. He was such a great genius.

Sluice valves are mentioned once but never explained. It's as if you think their particular design mechanism is too obvious to explain. But how do they stay watertight? If they are part of the gates, how are they opened from the canal bank? Opening them against strong water pressure must be difficult too. If not, why not?

Amazing combination between visualization and commentary! Very well done! You just got an other sub😊

I have been around miter lock operations most of my life and have yet to see one that is watertight, no matter the level on the upstream side. It is theoretically possible, of course, with the right sealing materials installed, but in practice, that free joint in the middle is not constructed _that_ perfectly no matter how much pressure is applied. The leakage is generally not significant, so it is still the most useful design, but It is a very different construction type than, say, a precision airlock on a space capsule.

@domesday1535

Жыл бұрын

yeah watertight is a bit of a superfluous detail. truly watertight mostly comes down to a matter of maintenance since a soft rubber could seal completely but would require regular replacement since every time the join flexes under the pressure cracking and wear also grows in the material. The real trick is that the pressure on that joint is able to be so large you can use quite hard materials as the seal (such as steel or other metals) which have much more favourable wear characteristics compared to most water sealing materials. The pressure also helps to reduce tolerances for things like squareness of the two doors and surface roughness at the joint (though they do still have a pretty tight tolerance for straightness at the meeting edge and parallelness of the two meeting faces) In leonardo's time of course they didn't have so many options for materials and the only options for a water seal for that use case would have been wood or a soft metal like copper which means high pressure joints were the only option available to stop a notable leak. Nowadays most locks play with the wiggle room that a small leak is perfectly tolerable in their use case and so they leverage that to reduce maintenance costs meaning most do still let some water through

This was great to watch and da Vinci was certainly a gifted artist, engineer, etc. During the video I got a memory trigger of something else that always intrigued me in terms of achieving a water-tight seal in order to hold back a large body of water. That is, the door/seal system on a dock, or dry-dock, to be precise. We've all seen a picture of a vessel in a dry-dock under construction, or in for maintenance, cleaning, etc. Here, the fluid dynamics seem in contrast to that of a river flow, pushing against the angled gate faces, using the flow force to achieve the seal (as shown in the video). Instead, the sea is 'flat' against the dock gate. How is this achieved safely and reliably, anyone? Thanks.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Awesome video

I've lived in several places along the Trent-Severn Waterway in Ontario, Canada. I can walk to one of them in 5 minutes. Most of those locks operate on these same principles, taking into account modernization of machinery and maintenance. It is a 386 km route with 45 locks. Also it's through some of the prettiest scenery available in central Ontario. The same can be said for the Rideau Canal system locations. That one is just over 200 km in total, using 29 locks. Because they are no longer of use by commercial boating, and are for recreational boating, the staff are super accommodating to explain how everything works. It's simpler than I first imagined. Brilliant use of the water to do the work.

Hello Sabin, Thanks for your educational videos, very informative and engaging. May I please request that you make a video on third-rail current collectors for electric trains (subway trains).

I travel the Trent/Severn waterways each summer . This was built in between 1830 and 1901 . They still use this style of gate. They can leak on occasion but solid. They change out the timbers when needed ,but really an amazing feat of engineering

Neither was Leonardo master of all. What made Leonardo different is that he was not yet subject to the division of labor and hyperspecialization that now governs society. His intellectual ability was that of similar people in his position. Polymaths weren't that uncommon during the peak of the Italian Renaissance as the Nobility, the Church and Merchants were all in constant struggle to control society and thus neither ultimately controlled it fully. This allowed sufficiently wealthy people to study and practice as they saw fit or needed rather than prostitute themselves to one particular task for the benefit of one of these sectors for the rest of their lives. We could have Renaissance men again without much issue, the point of technology and knowledge is that it ultimately makes people more productive than the generations prior. You don't need to reinvent the gear or deduce Archimedes' law from scratch. Leonardo took a lifetime to reach his peak in art and material science because he had to collect that knowledge through experience and collecting rare books. Nowadays it only takes a few years for someone to match him, granted one has the resources, time and access to knowledge to do it, which is rare. The promise of the industrial revolution and the Renaissance were that. No longer would you have to dedicate most of your life to tending to your crops as a peasant or serving your guild master as an apprentice. Mechanization would mean less work hours and more studying to improve society further. Unfortunately, the rulers simply saw mechanization as a way to make their lifestyle cheaper and more plentiful.

@@siraethelwulf8914 I am not sure completely what thy point is. Was it that powers were divided between multiple factions back then and today its not? Because we may call them something else but it is still basically the nobility (old money) the merchant (new money) and the church (moral crusaders) who are in charge. Is it that there aren't people with the resources to just dedicate their lives to studying different subjects, because we have plenty of that. We don't even have to be rich anymore. Its just, most choose to spend their leisure time watching tv or writing dumb comments on youtube (I am referring mostly to myself here) then they are to pushing the boundaries of human knowledge. Because that is why I think we can't have polymaths anymore, a polymath is someone who is an expert, someone who have contributed something important to human knowledge in several fields. A Renaissance man is different from being a jack of all trade, because a Renaissance man is a master in many crafts, while a jack of all trades are competent in many but master in none

Question, you miss something, how do you open the sloose gate and close it again once the water at equal height? What if the water was too deep? Do the operator has to dive to close the small sloose door again? I'm asking about the manual medieval version.

You don't need to go to the Panama canal to see this. The nearest modern style canal will suffice. Here in Sweden some 10 km:s north of me, we have Göta canal: only a minor tourist canal, indeed, but every lock is of this type.

The machine shop where I do NDT supplied the Corp of Engineers with HUGE gears and transmissions for a dam in Kentucky. A lot of work when into them.

Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

Great video. I am wondering if water flows both sides like in panama canal during tide differences, would nt the water pulls it open? I think better design was diamond lock (2 mitre gates facing each other - like that 2 sets forming a levelling chamber in between) instead 2 parallel parallel mitre gates. (Your suggestions are most welcome, as an Irrigation engineer I confused whether to go ahead with a two mitre locks or diamond lock for a proposed site)
