🚢🌎 VOCÊ CONHECE COMO FUNCIONA A TRAVESSIA DO CANAL DO PANAMÁ?! Senta aí que vamos explicar.... No 🇵🇦 Canal do Panamá, navios gigantes não passam simplesmente “reto” pelo oceano. Eles são literalmente elevados e rebaixados por um sistema impressionante de eclusas que funciona como um verdadeiro elevador aquático.

- 巴拿马运河全程升降:26米 ​ - 三峡大坝过坝总落差:113米 三峡落差大约是巴拿马运河的4.3倍。 要过至少五级台阶

wild how they just raise entire cargo ships like bathtub toys. engineering that still feels like magic even when you know the physics

Are you sure? Panama's starting to use Chinese characters too?

the engineering behind those locks is wild, they basically float ships uphill in sections

I went to see that for myself two months ago. It was totally amazing!

This is very cool. I'm excited to have my first Panama Canal crossing this December. Our estimated time to get thru the locks is 14 hours.

We have hundreds of them in the UK. We call them locks.

那上面写的字是中文“安全文明、高效畅通”这或许是三峡大坝…

American ingenuity "given" back to the Panamanian people, who in turn tried to let China take it over. We all know how that turned out.

The Panama Canal works like an elevator. Our Morris Canal use to work like a rollercoaster.

The first part of the video is apparently a Chinese dam. The second part is Panama Canal

One of the most interesting part of our cruise. I highly recommend it.

It's one of those engineering projects that looks impossible until you see how it works. Human ingenuity is truly something else. 🌊🚢
