The Engineering Marvel called Panama Canal 

Panama canal and Golden gate bridge construciton videos are my last attempt to save this channel. Your support at Patreon www.patreon.com/Lesics is crucial for us. I hope you enjoyed the beauty and engineering of the Panama canal. Hoping for your support - Cheers Sabin Mathew

"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 to Lesics for reconstructing the canal just for us

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

Excellent ... Water level rise up & fall concept. Tremendous hard work for Team Lesics to demonstrate this, Hats off to you 🙋‍♂️

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

I hope this channel gets the support and recognition it deserves to keep delivering such well-made videos

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.

Thi is amazing. Kudos to the team that helped bring together this marvellous piece of detailed explanation of the working of The Panama Canal.

Thank you, Lesics, the idea of reconstructing the Panama Canal as shown in the video is brilliant. The animation with Hulk is also fantastic. It's a shame that there is a lack of financial support. Best wishes for the future. Best regards. Ingo 🍀☘️🙏👍

Great video! Absolutely mind boggling how such a massive engineering project was completed so many years ago! Wouldn't this still be a huge undertaking even with today's tech and equipment so what they accomplished back then is all the more impressive

I feel like im in a feverdream

0:00: 🚢 The Panama Canal is a marvel of engineering that uses a clever locking system to lift ships and save them a travel distance of 20,000 kilometers. 4:17: 🌊 The Panama Canal relies on gravity to raise and lower ships, but excess water must be released into the ocean to prevent the Gatun Lake from drying up. 8:18: 💡 The Americans used innovative machines to overcome the challenges of unloading dirt, spreading it, and shifting the railway track during the construction of the Culebra cut in Panama. 11:59: 🚢 The Panama Canal allows ships to transit between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, using locks and miter gates. Recap by Tammy AI

I lived by the Gatun locks for almost two years. I could see the top of the ships from my window as they exited the Gatun locks. Something to add. Some of the U. S. Navy battleships were so wide that it was impossible to keep them from occasionally scraping the canal walls. They had to be partially re-painted after they exited the canal. The U. S. aircraft carriers were too wide to use the canal. At the time, the Gatun lake was the second largest man made lake in the world. I think a lake in Africa is the largest, Lake Kariba. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 amazing engineers and engineering. The original controls to open and close gates and valves are also incredible

Most people don't know that the Atlantic entrance is west of the Pacific entrance. 'A man, a plan, a canal, Panama' is the longest palindrome I know.

I remember when the company my dad used to work at worked on the design of the lock gates on the new panama canal. It was a huge project, and the engineering his company did was interesting. I also remember some of the issues that arose because there aren’t many places where the lock gates could be built. If I recall correctly, they were built in on of Germany’s shipbuilding docks.

Engineering at its best.... Awesome effort

Our engineers were regarded as heroes, around the time of this Panama project. Citizens marveled at how creative and ingenious their solutions to problems often were. And they were in awe of tremendous, complicated projects, like this. It's sad that we no longer feel that way.

I am watching this instead of doing my homework

Animations and thorough narrations helps me understand efficiently. Thanks!

I did not know this is a thing, I love your content and I'm learning something new everytime I watch your videos.

It's a real good day when Lesics turns out a new video. Such great content!

I'm glad you mentioned DaVinci there at the end! It saved me mentioning that he came up with the lock idea. Not to take anything away from your great presentation here, but canal locks were in use for hundreds of years before the Panama Canal. The most famous in the US was the Erie Canal of a hundred years earlier, and that was built after studying the extensive canal network in England. Also, the reason the French tried a level crossing is that they had just finished the Suez Canal, which was a level crossing between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. I guess they thought digging through a jungle-covered mountain range would be the same as flat desert. There are couple of other problems with a level Panama crossing that weren't realized at the time. First, "sea level" isn't the same everywhere, which is why we use "mean" (average) sea level as the standard. The difference between the levels of the Atlantic and Pacific around the Isthmus of Panama is about 12 feet (I forget which is higher), so there would be an enormous one-way current through the canal at all times. Second, a level crossing would mean that the Chagres River would be lowered to sea level where it runs into the canal path. This would turn it into a raging torrent during the rainy season since there would be no Gatun Lake to absorb it. These are not intractable problems, but they add to the difficulty of digging out that much dirt!

You videos are really getting contagious ❤

Thank you so much for your hard work in bringing these high quality highly informative presentations to life. I hope you survive and peosper.

It’s such a genius piece of engineering I never knew that the canal worked like this I thought it was like the Suez Canal just a straight line through

We should all be grateful to the USA for achieving this feat…because of the Panama Canal the entire world has developed rapidly….👍👍👍

Wow!!! Thanks alot guys for sharing in lovely detail this amazing Civil Engineering Project!!!😊😊

Thank you for the wonderful animation. It will help my students understand the construction process & working of Panama Canal

... interesting that this method of canal building is presented as being invented for the Panama Canal ... but it wasn't new ... the canal system in UK was built in the 18th century using this method ... one flight of locks has eleven gates to navigate ... and it probably wasn't a new idea then ..

I was so distracted by the Hulk moving the land. I cracked up when I saw his eyes glow red 😅 Nice job on the amination and the rest of the history lesson. Good job!

great job Lesics. Very good animation, and clear explanations.

Lesics is back with more power & information, thank you team ❤

What a marvellous engineering! Today we think that by pounding on the laptops, we have become great. These engineers who worked over a century back give their present day colleagues a pause to think over. 👍

Thank you to Lesics for sharing this kind of engineering type video. I love this❤. It was my first experience this channel and i am understand it. At last love you. Iam also preparing for for jee mains but it my bad luck now if I pass I can't appreciate in advance and can't get admission in nit Or iit and other tops .if You less time for me ,if u can do then give me some tips.

Thanks,I am an Engineer ,what is so great about that type of works is you will learn how everything works.

They made a machine for every problem they encountered

Mind blowing explanation !! Kudos to the entire team for creating such great content !!

Amazing stuff , never knew about this. Thanks for making this video !

Amazing! I went thru it on a USS and never gave it a thought as to how it was made! TY!

Wow!! ❤ It's a proof that I only use 5%of my brain. It's really mind blowing watching technology of 1913. Much respect to Lesics for animating this🙏

Hi Lesics great demonstration. If you can add How 3 of the water basins parallel to the locks reduce water loss from Gatun lake by 60% , would have been great

Great video thank you so much!! Props to the American engineers and workers that accomplished so much so quickly! ❤

this video explained exactly what I wanted to know, and in perfect details and illustrations. thank you!

It is incredible the level if engineering that was needed

The amount of times you unnecessarily stated Americans, and American engineers makes it seem like a propaganda video.

Marvelous!!!! Amazing engineering, fantastic video with great explanation. Thank you.

Wow!! One of the best vidoes I have seen on this channel. Way to go Lesics !!

Who would have thought we have made stairs for ships , wow

I'm very glad to say that our professors taught us mechanical engineering chapters by showing lesics videos

I have learnt plenty things from you people, thanks for your good job

Brilliant content,animation and explanation were spot on.

Why you're using American American American everywhere ? It was a collective effort and done fabulous job for Better future.

We should have called Hulk to lift all that soil so the two oceans could connect

Best graphics I ever saw to explain this effort! Well done!

It's always a treat to see Sabin

Thanks for being an example to rest of us Indians in doing wonderful stuff. Please give your UPI id in future videos so that we Indians can contribute to your organisation. Can you please consider making educational videos teaching science and engineering to school/college kids? You can make a bigger impact than many universities.

Some ideas in one head and its implementation make us marvel, but at the same time there're some thoughts in another head that bring grief and misfortune into our world.

Thank you, this video is vividly illustrated. I wish i could watch some detailed video like this when I studied Geography in high school.

Waited for this..Thank you @Lesics

we all know Aliens help them build Panama Canal.

Hulk casually helping😂 👇

This video solves my curiosity about how the canal works. Thanks for the video!

I went through the canal 3 times while in the Navy. It was awesome to go through. It stressed our captain.

Funtastic but pains taking engineering.A salute to the American engineers and the entire 🎉management team.🎉🎉

it's absolutely amazing to see how this engineering marvel is made , also what if they use something like the "Archimedes Spiral" to lift ocean water in the canal so as to maintain a regular flow of water even if there is no rain.

Nicely described, all points are covered in video… great work

This video is absolutely amazing. Muchas Gracias

You guys should also create videos on how some of the more basic things work, which could appeal to a wider audience (even kids), not just those who are interested in engineering, of have prior knowledge of certain things. Plus, I think you guys should seriously take a look at your thumbnails. Many of them are not very attention grabbing. Please take a look the the thumbnails of other creator within the same niche as yours and you'll notice a big difference.

thanks lesic for this awesome video. hey mathhew, i'm your proud patron. i've learned a lot from you. funfact: as an indian myself, your english is almost un-understable. even youtube automatic translation does not get it. kindly put subtitle if you can. thanks again.

There is a mistake at the end, all the movement of the ship is done with its own propulsion, the mules are only to guide the ship.

The names of these machines are truly innovative and ingenious, in all seriousness great video

I saw this in Oggy cartoon 😂

Your animation and explanation is top notch.

I like your style of content and how the commentary sounds , good job

In case you didn't notice it was all done by AMERICANS.

“The Americans can up with a brilliant idea” Um, no they didn’t - locks have been around for almost a thousand years, and ones that are hundreds of years old exist all over the world to solve this exact problem. (I’m American by the way - just don’t think the credit should be taken when it’s obviously not an American idea).

Another great video by Sabin's team.

@lesics superb video, great content, keep this up !!!

American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.... American engineers..American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.. American engineers.... American engineers..

You’re making it sound like Americans invented lock gates 😂😂😂

This is my little support for this amazing Chanel 🔥❤️

Wonderful...it will be counted in wonder thing on earth...❤🎉 .. The video was explained so nicely that I couldn't skip/stop... Thank you .❤
