    What did I do to deserve such a rude comment?

    Great piece of engineering, your dad must very satisfied to have worked on a project like this? I know I would have been!

    So, did my clip do the Wheel any justice?

    Two questions only! First, what's the name of the music(if it's from a band, could you tell me the name? I would be very thankful!)?

    Second, Why the water has to be pumpped out before it starts to go around?

    Amazing work of engineering, but yet there would have been lots of simpler solutions.

    I can think of 2 reasons. The 1st is only asthetic. Wouldn't look as nice if the top portion dumped a load of water when it started to move. The 2nd, and far more important would be a method by which the gate system is checked for proper closure and /or leakage prior to the wheel beginning it's rotation. A failure of a door or seal could result in damage to the boat or in a worst case senario where the door completely fails, the boat could exit during revolution.

    operating this may be the most boring job in the world.

    awesome piece of engineering though.
