🚃 Water-Powered Inclined Plane: Trolleys, Turbine, Rope Drive and Trip Time (2D)

Side view of two boat trolleys joined by one rope over a drum on a canal incline, driven by a water turbine at the top. Change the boat masses, the slope, the rail resistance, the water head and the gate opening, and see the steady rope speed, the stall limit, the overhauling case, the trip time and the water used per trip. The turbine curve, the work and energy balance, the Torricelli outflow and free rolling are checked numerically, with four in-page numerical checks.
