This is the only rotational boat transporter in the world. It has two arms and each arm forms a kind of huge tub filled with water.
Boats enter the tub, then the tub locks up and the huge arm starts rotating .TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。. }) x. D* r) u/ @# k1 c9 y

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" k9 }+ y. M" M1 Y

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.

哇這也太酷了，有點像是船的摩天輪，又有點像是裝水的電梯～
