The Engineering Marvel called Panama Canal

[TheGuruNetOn]

"Geniuses don't do different things, they do things differently"

Instead of digging below the land they raised the ships over the land. Like a fly-over but actually a swim-over/water-elevator.

Thanks! I am a Panama Canal Pilot who appreciates the work you do, Sir. No criticism, just praise.

[Cartidise]

Thanks to Lesics for reconstructing the canal just for us

[Wunba]

I don’t know why I keep thinking that the 20th century wasn’t technologically advanced cause they clearly were! This was amazing and insightful to see how it was done with animations outside of just history textbooks!

Love the Hulk casually helping with the visuals in this one

The number of times "American" used could have flooded Panama fully

It's unbelievable that we live in such times where such brilliant content is accessible on the internet for free. Everything about this video was spot on. Thank you. Hope to see lesics succeed and continue making videos.

One correction, the tug boats and cable cars are only there to stabilise the ships, they all go through the locks using their own engines. One caveat is that all the boats crossing surrender control to Panamanian captains who are the ones that maneuver the boats through the canal and then get off at the end.

I love all the high-viz vests and hardhats, glad to see they're complying with OSHA requirements.

I'm thankful to this channel for making these high quality animated videos for free. This is indeed an engineering marvel.

[HlkBrilliantshps]

This is what I call teaching. So interesting, engaging, and easy, thank you so much. I will show these to my kids😊

Leonardo Da Vinci invention of mitter locks is also one of the remarkable step in the canal formation

[seraeirian]

Locks (in general) have to be one of the most amazing feats of human engineering. Water is gonna go where it wants. To be able to control it to the extent to raise/lower 100, 000+ ton ships is incredible.

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly—which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfoli0

What's scary was how YouTube algorithm knew what im thinking for the past couple of days without me saying a word nor do anything to show it.

These old canal locks are very common in England, the country was once crisscrossed by canals as the main way to travel, before the steam locomotive. There are paintings of the Thames as chockerblock with traffic as motorways (freeways) are today.

I remember watching a documentary around 2008-09 which showed the construction of Panama and how malaria led to the death of thousands of workers. It was made from an economic and social point of view. You have done an amazing job explaining the Isthmus of Panama from the technical and engineering angle :)

Im glad the hulk was able to help out to build the canal

[ultimatedeatrix]

Thanks to everyone in Lesics who put so much time and effort to teach us about complicated projects this elegantly. Truly underappreciated channel, I hope it gets the recognition and support it deserves.

Panamanian here. Never in my 54 years have I loved and appreciated so much how you exposed all the naive engineering it took to build the canal and how it works. Thank you!!
