20 Things We Like – Video 19: The Falkirk Wheel
The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Scotland that reconnects the canal route between Glasgow and Edinburgh for the first time since the 1930s. It is the only such boat lift in the world. The two gondolas have a combined weight of 1,100 tonnes and yet the energy used to rotate them is equivalent to boiling just eight kettles of water. This is achieved through the Archimedes' principle.
