I thank all of you, who have commented and subscribed to this video! Initially, this clip was meant to be shared with only a few dozen of my FB friends. I never expected it to have over 2K subscribers or over 2 million views, I never strive for such numbers. Those numbers tell me, that one doesn't have to have any spectacular videos to arouse people's interests. That people appreciate, down to earth "honest" stuff. That was my wife Kathy who walked down along with the boat and spoke to me in German and was continuously looking back and watching me, that I didn't fall in to the water :-) Not any kind of surprise, as I'm used to surveillance even at home :-) Since recently, I also fly a drone and I've posted some aerial videos. We just returned from a 3-weeks road trip in Turkey and I'll be posting some aerial clips. Could be of interest to some, to see familiar things from a different perspective. Coming Saturday the 1st of June, we'll be in Belgium for an extended weekend. I then plan to visit some similar engineering feats and do a simple video like this. Once again, I would like to thank all of you, who watched this video and liked and subscribed!

Actually I don't think it was that difficult a sale. Portages have been used for ages long before railroads. If something like that wasn't used, then it would have been necessary to build quite a few very deep locks which would have also drained a lot of water from the high side dumping into the low side every time a boat was moved. The locks would have had to be maintained and they always leak somewhat. Moving water from the leaking or seepage erodes structures. This is a much better and sane solution.

@willg48025 жыл бұрын
Rhys Hughes it’s called a “portage”, and it appears to be achieved by way of a funicular. In this instance the carriage loaded with the boat is obviously heavier than the empty carriage, so gravity does the work. If both carriages had boats gravity would still contribute. The only force that one would need to add would be any positive difference in weight of the ascending carriage. In other words, if the carriage running uphill weighs more than the one running down hill. This is actually a sophisticated way of doing this if one doesn’t want to expend the resources to build a lock.

I think this kind of alternating carrier is called a jigback system where the rising carrier is balanced by the descending one, like elevators and counterweights or gondollas ascending mountains. Thus the load is partly ballanced by the one going down on the opposite run. But the fact this was built by Prussia in the 19th century is impressive!

There are no locks on the Suez canal that extends for over 100 miles. Why are they even neccessary in the first place?
@hobbyhermit665 жыл бұрын
Beyond Belief for the same reason this mechanism is necessary here. The water level on one side of a land mass is higher than it is on the other side of the land mass. In this case, the boats are relatively small and about the same size, so this system works here. Locks can raise and lower much larger boats and even very large ships, as well as small boats.

@@hobbyhermit66 Thanks for the reply. As a practically minded man, do you think it is possible to practically demonstrate a body of water naturally conforming to the exterior of shapes? I'm a skeptic you see, and I don't think that claim can be repeatedly demonstrated verified or falsified as all claims of objective fact of course should be. A practical example of a body of water on a gradient that doesn't flow to points of lower elevation would be greatly appreciated too if you have any. Cheers

@@Swaggerlot it's not about pleasing but replacing lock around the world with something like that which limit a lot the type of boat that can use it what is the point? Lock are maybe slower, uglier and more costly but a well designed canal with lock at least allow a lot more type and size of boat to use it. I did not say it's a bad design for a specific purpose but for general use it's not a good design. To many limitation unless you use something like the lift used to put boat on the hard (most are able to adjust to the boat) which would slow the process by a lot...
