HERITAGE / SCIENCE
A remarkable Polish engineering landmark
The Elbląg Canal carries boats over dry inclined planes on rail-mounted carriages. The historic mechanism uses falling water to power the haulage equipment. This interactive teaching model shows two opposing carriages, the canal, a waterwheel, and the essential energy-and-force relationships.
