The“tubs” are filled according the Archimedes’ Law. So the weight of “tubs” are balanced. To open the upper and lower lock and turn the whole system by 180◦they need an engine of 22.5 kW which only use 1.5 kWh " f* z2 _3 g: Z* Itvb now,tvbnow,bttvb $ M: Z1 ~$ W0 iwww2.tvboxnow.com[attach]2627931[/attach]tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb, J+ @.

This is a fascinating canal in Scotland. Especially with a elevation of 79 ft between two canals. The swinging transportation is very genius design to save space.作者: Sweetvia 時間: 2013-12-20 06:19 AM
