- We have an unfortunate habit of underestimating the capabilities of the people who came before us. Some people even judge their grandparents for not being able to operate computers or smartphones properly, so imagine what they think of people who lived thousands of years ago! This lack of faith in our forefathers is unfair to them, and we’ll prove it with the content of this video.
Thank you so very much for these stories, I really do enjoy them!
Wow, finally a whole bunch of awesome that I've never seen before thank you
11:58 apparently the disk has the properties of a valve water can flow one way through it but not the other. I think that should be looked into more
Keep up the good work.
I read that ice houses were used as long ago as the 1600s in England. Usually built underground, they were filled with ice cut from a local lake. I know that they existed in the United States in the 1700s and later. Sometimes they were an above ground building covered in six to ten feet of baled straw for insulation.
I had a friend who ran a hunt & fish camp in Northern Ontario from the 70s thru the late 90s. The camp was located NE of Lake Nipigon on a chain of smaller lakes. He built a smallish, heavy log structure into the side of a small hill just off their lake and used that as an ice house, cutting clean ice during the winter months, stacking it and covering it with clean sawdust. Back then, his camp had no electric. Oil stoves for heat, propane for refrigerators & lamps; one fellow down the shoreline used a school bus transmission and differential to assemble a water wheel (located on a chute between two lakes at different water levels)... generated enough power to run a couple light bulbs and a small freezer.
very interesting
