WHAT? What? WHAAAT?Wait isn’t that the thing from that movie with Jodie Foster and the aliens?Apparently this is a real rotating boat lift from Scotland and according to the UK tourist website it is indeed so well balanced it actually takes only 1.5kWh of electricity per rotation and that makes me so happy.Engineers are magicians.i live in this town. why does a gif of a place that i live in have 14,500 notes wtfthe two sections weigh the same, so it only has to lift the weight of the boat! physics.YES!!!! -- source link
