Interpretive reconstruction. The Elbląg Canal's real inclined planes use steel cables and water power to move boat carriages along rails. This 3D lab reproduces those principles using illustrative dimensions and a simplified power-limited motion model—not a surveyed or safety-rated digital twin.

FIELD MANUAL

Navigate the laboratory

Drag on the 3D viewport to orbit the camera. Scroll or pinch to zoom. Choose Overview, Machinery or Top View to jump between inspections.

Start the water-powered drive, change the flow rate and boat mass, and observe how the theoretical carriage speed responds. Reverse movement to return toward the lower basin. The red emergency stop latches until released.

Keyboard: Space start/pause, R reset, H help, Esc close this guide.
