⚙️ The Falkirk Wheel – Engineering Brilliance in Motion 🌍 Opened in 2002, the Falkirk Wheel in Scotland is the world’s only rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal across a 24-metre height difference. 🚢 Why It’s Remarkable: Revived Scotland’s historic canals through the Millennium Link Project. Works on the Archimedean principle, so perfectly balanced that a 22 kW motor (same as a kettle!) can rotate the wheel in just 5 minutes. A model of efficiency, sustai

Falkirk Wheel, the only rotating boat lift in the world. It consists of two counterbalanced arms shaped like a Celtic double-headed axe that rotate around a central axis. The structure is primarily made of steel, with over 1,200 tonnes used in its construction. Concrete and other durable materials are also used to support the structure. The wheel has a diameter of 35 meters, and the two gondolas, which hold the boats, can each carry up to 600 tonnes of water and vessels. 🎥 Scotdrone #parametric
