I am surprised that this is the first I have seen this, but wow! very cool engineering....and quite simple if you look think about it. The math would actually be quite easy.

I grew up around the Welland Canal, which has 7 locks that raise and lower ships....so I can appreciate the advancement that this shows.

Some of the brightest engineering accomplishments are based on the simplest engineering principles.....I wonder what I could come up with...????

I saw a single image of that a while back but never completely understood the concept ... now I understand . Very nice. A lot of work, time, money and engineering for ... something that turned out very cool.

Wow...that's simply stunning. VERY simple principle put to good use!
