Скачать или смотреть Ancient Hydraulic Elevators: Rio Tinto Water Wheels

Discover the incredible engineering feat hidden deep within the Rio Tinto mines! 🏛️💧

When faced with massive flooding, ancient engineers devised a brilliant solution: a complex system of nested water wheels. This video breaks down how this specific "reverse-overshot" mechanical configuration functioned as a powerful multi-stage hydraulic elevator.

Witness how pairs of wheels worked in unison to lift drainage water vertically up the mine shafts. We explore the sheer physical effort of the human laborers who powered this machine by treading on slats, moving water from basin to basin in a remarkable display of ancient hydraulic engineering.
