Falkirk Wheel

[Irenaeus03]

Very elegant, yet I wonder if it could have been managed with just Legos.

[Dahnn666]

only mechanic and civil engineers can do that ;)

[TehRybec]

Hate to be the one to tell you, but....

You have it turning backwards. Not that it's that big a deal, but just so you know.

That said, it's a great model.

[TehRybec]

Oh, wait, no. My bad. It goes both ways.

this is so cool

[DeeJayQuick]

This could have been done in the traditional less expensive method of gate and fill.

[davbob]

it used to be a system of gates but it had about 21 of them stretching over 5 miles so the wheel expensive as it was was actually the cheaper method

[Doomhotdog]

if they did it that way, it would have been over 4 or 5 miles of gates, not realy a good idea.

[DonkeyOaty]

Gates use more water, time and effort. Besides, what a fabulous piece of engineering. I think I'll make a trip to bonnie Scotland to see it for myself.

[xsarahxbx]
