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
No worries, nice video and animations!
Can you make a video on how bio gas plant works
i live in another country so unfortunately I can't
You can keep on reuploading videos unless you get a good fund to start again Lesics we are with you !
unsubscribe 👍
I'm done with this re-upload shit
Love the Hulk casually helping with the visuals in this one
i had to do a double take and make sure this wasn't an ad for a scam mobile game lmao
@@AlbanianThrash lmao it did look like that
Godzilla-sized Hulk
And then we have MCU Hulk struggling to stop a Honda Civic 😂😂
I was wondering about that too, then the indian guy showed up and it all made sense
Thanks to Lesics for reconstructing the canal just for us
😅
😂
Yeahhh so useful :)
and thanks to the incredible Hulk for his enormous contribution as well
@@ashboy111so hulk was actually helping in the Panama canal construction when he was gone and marvel just fabricated the story of him going to another world. 😮
Thanks! I am a Panama Canal Pilot who appreciates the work you do, Sir. No criticism, just praise.
I hope he replies to your comment.
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!
Yeah, I’ve often made that mistaken thought. Quite amazing, actually.
Most of the large skyscraper cities you see are products of the last century..
It’s interesting to see the history. Where I’m from we have some interesting canals started in the 18th century. Todays design is the 4th version for larger vessel ships which started construction around the same time as Panama. But still we can see the remains of old canals, I love to fish some of these as they aren’t in use anymore.
Hi Wunba
The only technology that has rapidly advanced directly in the last 50 years is communication. Everything else is a side effectof better, faster communication
"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.
below the land? the water levels are different digging below is not an option
"Geniuses don't do different things, they do things differently" Well said! I'm borrowing the quote
@@HypnosisBear tag the original author, Shiv Khera

@@Scandals_trustit's not a grammatical problem. oc said digging below the land like those ships are submarines or something.
If they meant digging out the land, video already explained how that failed in 1892, owing to the large rugged hill terrain
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.
Yeah, most of this video was factual although there were some weird wordings.
It has to be admitted, compared to Vsauce's nonscientific B.S. or P3wdi3c4nc3rs uninspired river of crap this IS brilliant content!
@@rocksparadox yup, and it's shocking how few views this entire channel has been getting offlate. The channel's owner has requested additional funding via its supporters or its videos will have to stop from September this year. Quite sad :(
@@rocksparadoxthere are other good youtubers out there. Vsauce is just a meme

This is what I call teaching. So interesting, engaging, and easy, thank you so much. I will show these to my kids😊
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.
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.
Source: I am panamanian and my dad is a canal engineer
Won't the panaman pilots have difficulty manuvering a new ship with different controls?
@@potatoking7722 Yes, each ship has its own querks, and if in doubt, the local pilot can consult with the ship's own captain and other officers, who are present on the bridge. (None of these navigation officers operate the ship themselves; but instead command the ship's crew, that operates the controls hands-on.)
I hope this channel gets the support and recognition it deserves to keep delivering such well-made videos
I'm thankful to this channel for making these high quality animated videos for free. This is indeed an engineering marvel.
Looks like it was made in a sims game.

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
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.
;Right, I've been in constant touch with a fiinancial-analyst since covid . You know these days it's really easy to buy into trending stock`s, but the task is determining when to buy or sell . My advisorr decides entry and exit commands on my portfoliio, I've accrued over $300k from an initially stagnant reserve of $150K.>.
that's impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this advisors , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you.
please how can i get to your advisor.
Google her name.
I love all the high-viz vests and hardhats, glad to see they're complying with OSHA requirements.
I'm sure they've had their malaria shots, too. XD rip
Excellent ... Water level rise up & fall concept. Tremendous hard work for Team Lesics to demonstrate this, Hats off to you 🙋♂️
Leonardo Da Vinci invention of mitter locks is also one of the remarkable step in the canal formation
He mentions it at the very end
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.
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 🍀☘️🙏👍
Fabulous 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 amazing engineers and engineering. The original controls to open and close gates and valves are also incredible
You videos are really getting contagious ❤
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.
it has 6 million subs?
@@djb5320yeah ikr so how is it even struggling???
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
It takes the city I live in 6 months to fix a pothole. The Panama Canal is really an engineering wonder!
I did not know this is a thing, I love your content and I'm learning something new everytime I watch your videos.
Marvelous!!!! Amazing engineering, fantastic video with great explanation. Thank you.
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 :)
It's a real good day when Lesics turns out a new video. Such great content!
Churns?
Wow!!! Thanks alot guys for sharing in lovely detail this amazing Civil Engineering Project!!!😊😊
Thank you so much for your hard work in bringing these high quality highly informative presentations to life. I hope you survive and peosper.
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.
Mind blowing explanation !! Kudos to the entire team for creating such great content !!
Thank you for the wonderful animation. It will help my students understand the construction process & working of Panama Canal
Wow!! One of the best vidoes I have seen on this channel. Way to go Lesics !!
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
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.
Brilliant content,animation and explanation were spot on.
Nicely described, all points are covered in video… great work
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.
Ok
I love that!
Mooie zak salade, en iemand nam ei mannen, en in enen nam iemand na meineed Alaska, zei oom.
Animations and thorough narrations helps me understand efficiently. Thanks!
Amazing stuff , never knew about this. Thanks for making this video !
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
I have 2 youtube accounts - one for studies and the other for recreation. Liked it from both the accounts cz this video was soooooo good!! Thanks for the explanation :)
this video explained exactly what I wanted to know, and in perfect details and illustrations. thank you!
Best graphics I ever saw to explain this effort! Well done!
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!
Indeed, so many people only know of Leonardo as the pedophile painter of homosexuals (Mon Salai), but he actually did some things to help society...or so they say...
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. 👍
Your animation and explanation is top notch.
Your work are great. Great education for us. Thank u
I'm very glad to say that our professors taught us mechanical engineering chapters by showing lesics videos
It is incredible the level if engineering that was needed
Awesome animation and crazy story. Thanks for the great work
Lesics is back with more power & information, thank you team ❤
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!
I am watching this instead of doing my homework
I like your style of content and how the commentary sounds , good job
Amazing! I went thru it on a USS and never gave it a thought as to how it was made! TY!
We should all be grateful to the USA for achieving this feat…because of the Panama Canal the entire world has developed rapidly….👍👍👍
Yes, let's forget the 30,000+ Panamanians who died because of it (French and US input), that near 8% of the country's terrain was badly damaged, and the fact it caused misery and starvation because the local workers were taken by force.
@@indiathylane2158 best reply. americans are doing this for showing they are the best, they would do anything for that
@@indiathylane2158 and let us not forget how many millions more would have died from starvation and deprivation of basic necessities such as medicine if the rapid transit of goods were not available via the canal…
This video also just pretending these types of canals hadn't been around for ~100 years before in Europe. Wow smart Americans, building a water lock! Sweden had one in 1832 but ok. It totally was that the French just weren't smart enough to build something they'd already invented back home and not because they kept dying
@thecrazything95 these nothing arguments you guys use are incredible, just because they mentioned the word america
They made a machine for every problem they encountered
@lesics superb video, great content, keep this up !!!
great job Lesics. Very good animation, and clear explanations.
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.
The number of times "American" used could have flooded Panama fully
The laborers from the West Indies never get the credit
@@jacksevert3099yes. They are the harbinger of “exclusivist mindset”.
Panamanians also consider themselves "Americans," along with many other inhabitants of South and central America. I learned this when I went to Panama.
Laborers came from all over to help build the canal. It was a major undertaking, but it was an "American" project. It's like when you see a movie, the director gets the credit because he/she is the creative vision of the project and all the other thousands of people that help make the film are signing on to fulfill his or her vision.
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.
The names of these machines are truly innovative and ingenious, in all seriousness great video
I feel like im in a feverdream
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🙏
Yes we only use small portion of our brai, another 95% of our brain is used for memory and knowledge. Only 5% of our brain need to watch videos. If you use 50% of your brain, yo will die tiredly, because all of thing in your brain need to realize.
This video solves my curiosity about how the canal works. Thanks for the video!
wow! really beautifully explained and animation was so good. Thank you
Funtastic but pains taking engineering.A salute to the American engineers and the entire 🎉management team.🎉🎉
... 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 ..
Yeah, it hurts to hear that.
I live near the lake of St Ferréol, which acts as one of the reservoirs of the Canal du Midi, which was built by France in the 17th century to connect the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean (and thus bypasses the dangerous Iberian waters).
The scale of the Panama canal surely is impressive, but, in terms of invention, the design is nothing original.
Only the steam powered tools were new... Were they?
It's weird that they imply that canal locks are an amazing new technology when canal locks have existed for hundreds of years.
Still impressed, being the pioneer/originator of a certain idea or tech is a thing but using it to the fullest potential and seeing it materialize is another great feat as well
Great video thank you so much!! Props to the American engineers and workers that accomplished so much so quickly! ❤
Don't forget the West Indies! 75% of the workers were from there
Excellent video . Very well explained. marvelous animations . Great Work.
Who would have thought we have made stairs for ships , wow
Im glad the hulk was able to help out to build the canal
Wow that's awesome! Very interesting video, thank you for the knowledge. 👍👍
Wonderful...it will be counted in wonder thing on earth...❤🎉 ..
The video was explained so nicely that I couldn't skip/stop...
Thank you .❤
The amount of times you unnecessarily stated Americans, and American engineers makes it seem like a propaganda video.
They were vetted before they could work on the project
This project was designed and built by Americans in the country of Panama and this video was written by a non-American.
Usually that kind of syntax abuse suggest an AI script.
Well Americans designed and built it so that could have something to do with it. Had Panamanians constructed it, it would have collapsed decades ago.
Given the amount of anti-American propaganda in mainstream media, it's jarring to hear the word in a positive or neutral way.
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.

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.
That's like asking Ridley Scott to direct children's movies because they'll appeal to a wider audience. Lesics prefers creative integrity to mass audience appeal. They create what they do because they love it. And that's what matters. If people want to watch the basics on how things work, then they can watch other's videos instead.
@@fatherofthenooI know how that sounds. But if Ridley Scott was in so much financial trouble that it could end him completely, I'm sure he wouldn't mind some cheap money making projects for a little while.
Thank you for the suggestions. Yah, I am seriously considering doing videos on topics which could appeal a wider audience. Regarding thumbnails, we have put a lot of effort. I think, it's bettter to outsource the thumbnail job.
Ah cool video. I got to visit panama a while ago and was able to get super close to the canal
Outstanding explanation and animation! Just joined your Patreon.

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.
Another great video by Sabin's team.
