The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The lift, named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland, opened in 2002. It reconnects the two canals for the first time since the 1930s as part of the Millennium Link project.
The wheel raises boats by 24 metres (79ft), but the Union Canal is still 11 metres (36ft) higher than the aqueduct which meets the wheel. Boats must also pass through a pair of locks between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal. The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world, and one of two working boat lifts in the United Kingdom, the other being the Anderton boat lift.
Other mathematical achievements include deriving an accurate approximation of pi, defining and investigating the spiral bearing his name, and creating a system using exponentiation for expressing very large numbers. He was also one of the first to apply mathematics to physical phenomena, founding hydrostatics and statics, including an explanation of the principle of the lever. He is credited with designing innovative machines, such as his screw pump, compound pulleys, and defensive war machines to protect his native Syracuse from invasion.
The diameter of Archimedes is the largest of any crater on the Mare Imbrium. The rim has a significant outer rampart brightened with ejecta and the upper portion of a terraced inner wall, but lacks the ray system associated with younger craters. A triangular promontory extends 30 kilometers from the southeast of the rim.
The interior of the crater lacks a central peak, and is flooded with lava. It is devoid of significant raised features, although there are a few tiny meteor craters near the rim. Scattered wisps of bright ray material lie across the floor, most likely deposited by the impact that created Autolycus.
Surroundings
To the south of Archimedes extends the Montes Archimedes, a mountainous region. On the southeastern rim is the Palus Putredinis, a lava-flooded plain containing a system of rilles named the Rimae Archimedes, which extends over 150 kilometers. North-northwest of Archimedes stand the Montes Spitzbergen, a string of peaks in the Mare Imbrium. East of Archimedes is the crater Autolycus. Northeast of Archimedes is the prominent crater Aristillus. The lava plain between Archimedes, Aristillus, and Autolycus forms the Sinus Lunicus bay of Mare Imbrium. A wrinkle ridge leads away from Archimedes toward the north-northwest, crossing this mare.
Archimedes is a genus of Bryozoans belonging to the family Fenestellidae. The first use of the term "Archimedes" in relation to this genus was in 1838.
Etymology
This genus of bryozoans is named Archimedes because of its corkscrew shape, in analogy to the Archimedes' screw, a type of water pump which inspired modern ship propellers. These forms are pretty common as fossils but they have been extinct since the Permian.
Species
Archimedes orientalis Schulga-Nesterenko 1936
Archimedes regina Crockford 1947
Archimedes stuckenbergi Nikiforova 1938
Fossil range
These bryozoans lived from the Carboniferous period (Tournaisian age) to the Permian period (Leonard age) (345.3 to 268.0 Ma), when this genus became extinct.
Description
Archimedes is a genus of fenestrate bryozoans with a calcified skeleton of a delicate spiral-shaped mesh that was thickened near the axis into a massive corkscrew-shaped central structure. The most common remains are fragments of the mesh that are detached from the central structure, and these may not be identified other than by association with the "corkscrews", that are fairly common. Specimens in which the mesh remains attached to the central structure are rare. Like other bryozoans, Archimedes forms colonies, and like other fenestrates, the individuals (or zooids) lived on one side of the mesh, and can be recognized for the two rows of equally distanced rimmed pores. Inside the branches, neighbouring individuals were in contact through small canals. Bryozoans are stationary epifaunal suspension feeders.
The town lies at the junction of the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, a location which proved key to the growth of Falkirk as a centre of heavy industry during the Industrial Revolution. In the 18th and 19th centuries Falkirk was at the centre of the iron and steel industry, underpinned by the Carron Company in the nearby village of Carron. The company was responsible for making carronades for the Royal Navy and also later many pillar boxes. In the last 50 years heavy industry has waned, and the economy of the town relies increasingly on retail and tourism. Despite this, Falkirk remains the home of many international companies like Alexander Dennis, the largest bus production company in the United Kingdom.
From 2003–2007 the Council was led by an SNP/Independent coalition, but after the 2007 elections a Labour/Ind coalition of 16 councillors equalled the SNP/ Tory/ Independent 16, so a pack of cards was cut. Labour's card was higher than the SNP's. To form a stable administration Labour then formed a coalition with the 4 members of the Conservative and Independent Partnership. This Labour/Conservative /Independent coalition hold 18 seats compared to the 13 SNP and 1 non-aligned Independent. The leader of the administration is Councillor Craig Martin.

Falkirk Wheel
The Falkirk Wheel is the only fully rotating boat lift in the world. The wheel was built as part of the £85.4m Millennium link project to reunite the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals in Scotland. The canals had previously been linked by a staircase of 11 locks which took nearly a day to pass through. The locks were dismantled in 1933.
The wheel uses 2 gondolas which raise boats by 24m. As the Union Canal is 11m higher than the aqueduct at the top of the wheel, boats then go through 2 locks to reach the canal.
Before the Falkirk Wheel was constructed it wasn’t possible to get from the Union Canal to the Forth and Clyde by boat. It now takes about 10 minutes for a boat to be lifted from the Forth and Clyde to the aqueduct 24m above that leads to the Union Canal.

Falkirk Wheel
AS SEEN ON SKYEYE BRITAIN - LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2013! - www.skyeye-app.com
This is canal engineering brought bang up to date in a spectacular rotating boat lift. By the 1930s eleven locks, which joined the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, had been filled in and built on. In a millennium project to link the two canals again the futuristic wheel won the competition, and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

The Falkirk Wheel is the only fully rotating boat lift in the world. The wheel was built as part of the £85.4m Millennium link project to reunite the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals in Scotland. The canals had previously been linked by a staircase of 11 locks which took nearly a day to pass through. The locks were dismantled in 1933.
The wheel uses 2 gondolas which raise boats by 24m. As the Union Canal is 11m higher than the aqueduct at the top of the wheel, boats then go through 2 locks to reach the canal.
Before the Falkirk Wheel was constructed it wasn’t possible to get from the Union Canal to the Forth and Clyde by boat. It now takes about 10 minutes for a boat to be lifted from the Forth and Clyde to the aqueduct 24m above that leads to the Union Canal.

AS SEEN ON SKYEYE BRITAIN - LAUNCHING IN EARLY 2013! - www.skyeye-app.com
This is canal engineering brought bang up to date in a spectacular rotating boat lift. By the 1930s eleven locks, which joined the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, had been filled in and built on. In a millennium project to link the two canals again the futuristic wheel won the competition, and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.

Archemedes inventions : Golden crown in water bath

Ancient Greeks (Archimedes) almost discovered calculus! | DIw/oI #4
Newton or Leibniz? This never-ending debate on who discovered calculus would be settled if ancient Greeks were not so afraid of the concept of infinitesimals. Archimedes' work calculates the area (called quadrature back then) enclosed by a parabola and a line (i.e. parabolic segment), which is typically solved by calculus today. He had also developed the modern idea of limits, just not in modern notations, so ancient Greeks are really only a few steps away from discovering calculus!

Understanding Archimedes' principle
The great Greek scientist Archimedes’ “eureka” moment is quite popular. Why did Archimedes get so excited about his thought experiment? What was the concept he deduced while he was taking a bath? More importantly, did Archimedes solve his king’s crown problem using an immersing experiment or a float balance?

Archimedes Principle: Explained in Really Simple Words
Archimedes principle states that if an object is submerged in a fluid, then the buoyant force acting on it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. Buoyant force exists because pressure increases as an object goes deeper in a fluid, which, in this case, is water. Due to this, the force from the pressure exerted in the downward direction on the top of the object is LESS than the force from pressure exerted in the upward direction on the bottom of the object.
When Archmiedes got into the bathtub, he realized that as more of his body was submerged in water, the more water spilled over the bathtub’s edge. He realized that there must be a clear relationship between his weight and the weight of the water displaced by his submerged body. This was a groundbreaking idea, and o...
This physics / fluid mechanics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into archimedes principle and buoyancy. It explains how to calculate the upward buoyant force acting on an object and it shows how to derive the buoyant force formula. It discusses how to use free body diagrams to calculate the tension force in a rope supporting a block in the fluid using the buoyancy force and the weight force of the block.

http://tomscott.com - http://twitter.com/tomscott - The Falkirk Wheel sits between Edinburgh and Glasgow, in the southern parts of Scotland, and it's the world's only rotating boat lift. There's some very clever design going on here -- and some physics that goes all the way back to Ancient Greece.
How does the Falkirk Wheel boat lift work? In this video, we'll take you on a boat trip to experience the Falkirk Wheel where we'll show you how and why it was built and how it works with a little help from Archimedes. We'll also show you the amazing Roughcastle Tunnel with it's 'trippy' light show and Falkirk's new staircase locks.

The Falkirk Wheel, is the world's only rotating boat lift. But why is it so unique? Why is it so beautiful? And why is it needed?
The Falkirk Wheel is a functional work of art that joins the Union Canal to the Forth and Clyde Canal, connecting waterways between Edinburgh, Falkirk and Glasgow.

The Falkirk Wheel is the only fully rotating boat lift in the world. The wheel was built as part of the £85.4m Millennium link project to reunite the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals in Scotland. The canals had previously been linked by a staircase of 11 locks which took nearly a day to pass through. The locks were dismantled in 1933.
The wheel uses 2 gondolas which raise boats by 24m. As the Union Canal is 11m higher than the aqueduct at the top of the wheel, boats then go through 2 locks to reach the canal.
Before the Falkirk Wheel was constructed it wasn’t possible to get from the Union Canal to the Forth and Clyde by boat. It now takes about 10 minutes for a boat to be lifted from the Forth and Clyde to the aqueduct 24m above that leads to the Union Canal.

A timelapse movie of the Falkirk wheel in Scotland, the world's first and only rotating boat lift. At one time these two canals were joined by a series of 11 locks which took half a day to traverse. Now it can be done in 7 minutes!

This is canal engineering brought bang up to date in a spectacular rotating boat lift. By the 1930s eleven locks, which joined the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals, had been filled in and built on. In a millennium project to link the two canals again the futuristic wheel won the competition, and was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.
The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift in Scotland, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. The lift, named after the nearby town of Falkirk in central Scotland, opened in 2002. It reconnects the two canals for the first time since the 1930s as part of the Millennium Link project.
The wheel raises boats by 24 metres (79ft), but the Union Canal is still 11 metres (36ft) higher than the aqueduct which meets the wheel. Boats must also pass through a pair of locks between the top of the wheel and the Union Canal. The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world, and one of two working boat lifts in the United Kingdom, the other being the Anderton boat lift.

When you think of Archimedes’ Eureka moment, you probably imagine a man in a bathtub, right? As it turns out, there's much more to the story. Armand D'Angour tells the story of Archimedes' biggest assignment -- an enormous floating palace commissioned by a king -- that helped him find Eureka.

Stories of discovery and invention often begin with a problem that needs solving. Summoned by the king to investigate a suspicious goldsmith, the early Greek mathematician Archimedes stumbles upon the principle that would make him famous.
Lesson by Amdon Consulting's Mark Salata, animation by TED-Ed.
Newton or Leibniz? This never-ending debate on who discovered calculus would be settled if ancient Greeks were not so afraid of the concept of infinitesimals. Archimedes' work calculates the area (called quadrature back then) enclosed by a parabola and a line (i.e. parabolic segment), which is typically solved by calculus today. He had also developed the modern idea of limits, just not in modern notations, so ancient Greeks are really only a few steps away from discovering calculus!

The great Greek scientist Archimedes’ “eureka” moment is quite popular. Why did Archimedes get so excited about his thought experiment? What was the concept he deduced while he was taking a bath? More importantly, did Archimedes solve his king’s crown problem using an immersing experiment or a float balance?

Archimedes principle states that if an object is submerged in a fluid, then the buoyant force acting on it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. Buoyant force exists because pressure increases as an object goes deeper in a fluid, which, in this case, is water. Due to this, the force from the pressure exerted in the downward direction on the top of the object is LESS than the force from pressure exerted in the upward direction on the bottom of the object.
When Archmiedes got into the bathtub, he realized that as more of his body was submerged in water, the more water spilled over the bathtub’s edge. He realized that there must be a clear relationship between his weight and the weight of the water displaced by his submerged body. This was a groundbreaking idea, and one that could be applied to solve the problem of determining the purity of gold in Hieron’s crown.

This physics / fluid mechanics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into archimedes principle and buoyancy. It explains how to calculate the upward buoyant force acting on an object and it shows how to derive the buoyant force formula. It discusses how to use free body diagrams to calculate the tension force in a rope supporting a block in the fluid using the buoyancy force and the weight force of the block.

Jerry Jeff Walker If I took a rollin' wheel And rolled it ten times round Would it travel far from here Or would it just go round Round and Round As a young boy I helped the old man Workin' in the fields And everyday, we hauled the hay To the rollin' of the wheels 'Til one day the tractor laid The old man down to the ground The tractor pitched him into a ditch and Left a dusty sound Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round The wheel that kept spinnin' round CHORUS: Rollin' wheel, rollin' on Takin' us all on our way Rollin' wheel, rollin' on Takin back all that they gave Takin' us all on our way Takin' back all that they save I've never knew my father well The war called him too soon Said he was an officer Saw some pictures in my room The letter said he was reported dead Near the front lines he'd been found A mine blew his jeep into a twisted heep And I still hear the sound Of the wheel that kept spinnin' round. Rollin' wheel, rollin' on Takin' us all on our way Rollin' wheels, rollin' on Takin' us all to the grave Takin' back all that they save Takin' us all on our way My brother chased a dream of wheels His whole life geared for the race As soon as he could, he drove off for good His whole life was short, quick, and straight He only lived to spin those wheels And make that move over ground 'Til the steering failed and he crashed the rail And he laid there still for the sounds Of the wheel that kept spinning round. Rollin' wheel, they're rollin' on Takin' us all on our way The rollin' wheels, rollin' on Takin' back all that they gave Takin' us all on our way Takin' back all that they say As for me, my life's too short The wheel has carried my far Around this world 100 times By bus, truck, train, bike , or car (???) And just like the rest I roll on to my death On a country road far from town I stare by the wheel just as sure as I feel That there won't be but one sound That's the wheel that keeps spinning round Yeah the wheel that keeps spinning round Rollin wheels, rollin' on Takin us all on our way The rollin' wheels, rollin' on Takin' back all that they say Takin us all on our way Takin' us all on our way The rollin' wheels, yeah rollin' on Takin' back all that they gave
