When I was kid back in the early 80s, my family was stationed at Howard AFB from 80-84. I use to fish with my father at Gatun lake all the time. I use to see the ships passing through. Been to the Miraflores locks many times.
@@NoggleBaum at Miraflores locks, there is an observation building. I haven't been their in over 35 years, but it looks like they built a new one. I have watched ships start at the first locks of Miraflores and exit at the last lock to either go out to sea or head through to the other side. I remember it took an hour for the ship to go through, a little longer depending on the size. I saw the battleship New Jersey go through. That took tender loving care. There is just 1 foot clearance from aft to stern and keel. They were inching that ship through each gate. My mother's friends husband was a canal pilot. He said he hated going on subs. They don't stop and you can easily slip and fall off.

@@Gideon123654 O nível da água só existe porque tem uma força que direciona o fluido de maneira uniforme em uma determinada direção, caso contrário, não existe razão física pra água assumir nenhum nível. A água por ser um fluido, ao sofrer a ação desta força, toma essa determinada característica de nível. O nome dessa força que acelera os corpos em direção ao chão, é chamada gravidade, a ação da gravidade sob a água faz com que ela busque um nível (o nível sendo o ponto universalmente mais próximo da fonte da força), e como a gravidade também é uma força uniforme, ela age sob toda a água na superfície terrestre e causa o efeito de nível em toda a água. Portanto a água busca o seu nível com relação a GRAVIDADE e não com relação ao formato da terra, a água não é plana, ela é um fluído que se adapta a superfície em relação ao centro da terra.
Finally felt cultured just now 😄 What an engineering marvel. It is absolute overwhelming embarrassment to admit that only now I understand clearly what the fuss after several decades 😅😥 Earlier, I couldn't care less eventhough I myself was librarian in high school with lots of resources to refer during that time about this canal😂😆
@@bidensucks2922 You're clearly the clown because it's a valid question and you know nothing about engineering. Locks drain their source pounds and water is usually pumped back up to maintain the water level at the highest point. In this case its actually a dam across the Chagres River and they adjust the spillways to maintain the lakes level.
So how did the lake at the top not drain completely out? The process of the boat entering from the left has ot losing water and the process of leaving the lake has it losing water too
“Water falling from the sky”, you know? 😸 They have to conserve it via smart intermediate tank system, though... See here ruclips.net/video/SBvclVcesEE/видео.html
that would be an extraordinary excavation project and would have been much more difficult. that also would have massively changed the natural landscape, because the elevated inland sea would have to be brought to sea level -- i.e. drained.
@@isleschild build a dam on each side, drain what’s in the middle, excavate, release the dam. No? Sure it would require a lot of effort and resources. But if the Dutch can turn a sea into a lake, why can’t panama? Lol
How is that? Tell me how much time unloading 5k to 20k containers in one side, and receiving them in the other side will take, time and money, vs 8-10 hour pass in the Panama Canal. We are talking weeks and millions of dollars in difference. PER CARGO SHIP.
Why are people in the comments so impressed by the mechanics of this? The lock mechanic has been known since 200 BC in ancient Greece, the Chinese did also use it, as well as medieval Europe.
It has fresh water, as it's the only source of potable water in Panama. Water don't mix because they are only putting fresh water into the ocean and not the other way around
The lake is HUGE , drains a large area and gets a lot of rainfall. But, you are right! Increased traffic and larger locks ARE slowly draining the lake. Good call.
But where they get the extra water from? The middle lake level stays the same the whole process. Do they have a pipe system that pumps water from the ocean to the gates?
Went through it East to West on the USS Whidbey Island when I was a Marine in '93. Pretty cool. I'm from Michigan and had seen the Soo Locs before from shore. They are similar to the Panama Canal's opperation. It was neat to experience it first hand.

Maybe a silly question, but does the lake ever get too low? If so, what would they do then?
There's reservoirs and pumps

British engineering inspired by James Brindley 🇬🇧🏴1716-1772
Simple. Just dig equal heights at Pacific and atlantic ocean and connect together. No barriers alterations required
Probably costlier, I also thought about this option
Only works on a level plane earth.
This explains a lot. I had wondered how they would keep salt water from mixing with fresh in canals, the elevation change makes it clear.

does the lake drain from this or does the water pump from the ocean?

It does but they use additional locks and artificial reservoirs to reduce that

All the water flows from the lake , though there may be some pumping involved
So they push the ship up pushing a water down. Cool

the actual lock filling time is longer though. the entire process could take an hour. still faster than voyaging around

Doesn't the water level of Gatun lake get low each time they drain some water to raise and lower the ships?
There are many intermediate storage pools for water, to reduce the total water consumption.

One of the original routes explored by both the French. and the Us was to cross Nicaragua at something close to sea level.
Why these kind of locking system. Directly. Why not goes. If height variation is different so wee make it depth high.

Surely the lake will keep losing a little water every time? How does it refill?
Sooo... how does that effect the water level of the lake?
