🚢 Canal Incline Ship Railway: Cradle Balance, Water-Wheel Drive and Braking (2D)

Side view of a counterweighted canal incline where two cradles share one cable over a water-powered drive. Set the cradle loads, water head and flow, governor speed and brake, and watch speed, position, drive force and governor force. The 490 m by 20.6 m slope, power budget, drag integrator and braking distance are checked in the page. A 2D companion of the 3D incline laboratory.
