HOW THIS MODEL WORKS +

Two cradles move in opposite directions on a single constrained cable: x_B = L − x_A. A gravity imbalance, water-powered winch, rolling resistance, speed governor and brake determine acceleration.

Hydraulic input P = ρgQH; available winch power is reduced by a fixed efficiency. This is a conceptual education model, not the genuine historic control mechanism.

More model equations, assumptions, reproducible tests and source attributions are in docs/TECHNICAL_NOTES.md.
