Archimedes, engineering, art?

The Fallkirk wheel , Scotland . 

The Fallkirk wheel is a Boat lift- machinery that lifts boats from one water level to another. 

Boat lifts require hardcore engineering and an enormous power supply. The Fallkirk wheel is  an incredible design solution- its sheer elegance, to the simple principle on which it works  and the best part- all on 1.5kwh of energy. 

Thought its worth checking out for all of us .
