Do you perchance have an updated link to that, I am getting a 404 trying • to

The entire idea of the Falkirk Wheel is totally daft. :-)

I mean that as the highest sort of praise, mind you. Only in the UK would
this even have been tried, much less actually made to work. Isembard • Kingdom

Dear Paul
I enclose an image of the Lego model which was used by myself (and my 9 • year
old daughter) to develop the concept for maintaining the horizontality of
the wheel. It also had a "sophisticated" lego brick attachment which • looked
at the idea of a water driven wheel using ballast tanks in the form of • hooks
at the end of each arm.
best regards
Tony Kettle
