- This Documentary has been registered with the library of Congress and I am awaiting the VSA pursuant issuance number. Replicas, and other engineering "toys" will be available upon request. Contact me if interested. For now I will customize an order. later when this engineering truth becomes "accepted" I will produce cookie cutter replicas for the masses. depending on the demand. Full Ed Leedskalnin machine replicas will also be available. wheel, tripods, and yokes etc will be full setups like an old working train set.
Nine years its taken me to find this, it baffeled us for years, brilliant explanation, simple but brilliant, thank you much appreciated.
Baffeled? How about “ baffled”. I know you don’t understand the concept of a syllabic consonant.
@@garyfrancis6193dang, you harsh man.
This video shows the result of a thorough investigation, and explains in a very clear way the technology Leedskalnin almost certainly used to build Coral Castle singlehandedly. I sent it to a friend who is an experienced electrical engineer and a senior program manager with a major defense contractor, and he too found the conclusions completely plausible. I'm very glad to have found your channel, and am now a subscriber.
Dude, best explanation I’ve ever seen of coral castle technology. This is a masterclass in understanding Ed Leedskalnin and how to do very impressive feats with minimal resources
I grew up in Florida and always thought about this place. I knew it was just physics and not magic. In fact, that is what got me interested in studying physics more. Some things he mentioned here I used in my generators for living off the grid for 60 years, like making the power source work at maximum output so there is no idling.
This guy spent a lot of time in the museum studying everything and putting it together. It took a genius to put all the bits of knowledge together to build the coral castle and another genius to figure out how he did it.
Great video.
Scott! Damn glad to see this masterpiece is still up and running!! It should NEVER be taken down!!! Still impressed with what you have done SINGLEHANDEDLY!!! You're still my hero! Debunked all the "stories" and 'In Search Of" television show!! Again GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you for posting this. You should get a medal for figuring it out. Many people tried and failed to understand Ed's achievements. I bet he would have loved to have met a kindred spirit like you.
No, it doesnt...lol. His 'engineering solution' is all but bunk. How did Ed charge those batteries? Did he put ANY type of power measurement into this? He just 'plugs in the wheel', shows it spinning...and says 'this is how it works'. Yeah well, how many batteries did it take? Did he cut ONE rock with this method? Do you know how many batteries it would take to cut rock in this way? How did Ed charge those batteries? With his tiny 'hit and miss' engine he had (most don't even know he had this). This is extremely inefficient. You would be better off using the mechanical energy from the generator its self to cut the stone. Ed only had ONE cutting device, which is seen at his 'at work' photo. This guys explanation above is all but a distraction from the 'real' technology used. Just like Tesla...they don't want you to know the real stuff. This guys explanation is bunk...utter junk.
@@Pawbreakers_com Ed himself could rise from the grave and say this video is correct but there is zero chance of you or people like you believing it because it takes away the magic you want to be real but NEVER is.
@@seditt5146 perfect reply to statements like that, might have to borrow it. His response to every solution will be nuh ah. I can predict another dozen situations or events of similar nature (read flat earth, pyramids)where that person will be of the opinion that the elite are withholding what was really done while also withholding the knowledge of free energy.
Wow I cannot believe I stumbled on this 7 years later. I went there and that place is beyond amazing. Thank you for this.
Best and most accurate divination of Eds Coral Castle I have ever seen. Thanks.
With enough materials, a small source of power, some common sense automation, and sheer diligence...
...a man can beguile the minds of generations, with something no more complicated than a paperclip.
no more complicated than a paper clip?
hahahahahahahaha
I was born in 1960 and I've seen many documentaries about the Coral Castle.Nothing comes close to your comprehensive explanations....thanks man:-)
Here, Here, me too I always followed the mysteries of COral Castle. YES YOU ARE CORRECT BEST EXPLANATION TO THIS BUILDING MYSTERIES😈😉
I totally agree. This has shown me the answers to all of the questions I still had.
This guy is bullshit let me know if you believe him
@@maxrodgers5702 what in the video shows lifting 60,000lb+ stones stacked into 1/1000th of inch by a hundred pound man. It would take multiple cranes to attempt to lift some of the stones. Just lifting it would a engineering challenge. Now stack them where a sheet of paper can't even begin to go through. 1/1000th of inch. Any stone workers today. Stacking stones to that tolerance.
@@JamesSmith-lt5zz So Ed was either a midget, or emaciated?
I went there with my wife probably 5 years or so ago, they act like they don't know anything. You just showed me 1000x the information than the tour guide did. The place is mesmerizing. Absolutely beautiful. The door doesn't move anymore because they tried to lube it and used something that caused more harm than good. Well, it was either the door or a huge turntable stone thing that you used to be able to s[in with your pinky finger? Don't recall now? Anyway, thank you for your awesome ingenious work to show us what the people who get paid to show couldn't.
I've marveled at the mystery since my parents took me to the coral castle as a child. You've explained it in very basic terms.
This is probably the finest example of "research archeology" I have ever seen. This man needs to be commended and recognized for his achievements in decoding the mystery's of Coral Castle. This a a stellar achievement.
Billy Piazza oh really. and how does a fourth grade man with no vocational training on mechanical or masonery has carved it.And what is he purpose of making the telescope and align it with truenorth. And if it is that easy, why can't anybody be able to recreate such thing ever again
My friend. The video says that his father and grandfather were stone masons. He was also an experienced rigger. Mr. Russel also clearly showed how the cutting process occurred and how the flywheel was implanted. The only reason he didn't demonstrate how to cut the actual coral was due to the fact that there isn't any in Vermont. However, , I am afraid, the purpose of pointing a telescope at a star, was taken to the grave with Mr. Leedskalnin.
Yes, but a doc's son does not meccesarily bcms or knws aby anatmy. In d sm wy if his fthr nd frfthr r masons dat dsnt necessarily means dat he was equipped with masonry as well. And also he was a 4th grader and not eligible to rven attain in sort of vocation in this trade. Billy coral are quiet brittle and should be chipped wid a specific technique to prvnt thm frm breakin. How he'll be able to chip it?
Humm, that is an interesting question Sumeet. You are wondering how he was able to form those interesting shapes? I'll do a little research and get back to you with an answer my friend. It is nice to engage you in scientific discourse. I'm guessing you are from India. Greetings from America Mr. Ghai.
Thank billy, and i am sorry if i'll sounds abit offensive
Thanks for the explanations, you really show how much of a mechanical genius Ed was; and to have unraveled how it was all possible, you are a genius yourself. We had a man that retired where I live around the early 20th century who spent about 10 years in retirement digging out a cave complex. He didn't do it for any other reason than passion and to keep in good shape, and he was proud of his work. After he passed away, many legends sprang up about the origin and purpose of the caves, most of which were totally bogus. It's no surprise that the Coral Castle would end up shrouded in myth, anything people don't understand the purpose of ends up with its story told in a mixture of facts and lies.
tom maginnis One has nothing to do with the other. However, much of his knowledge came from masonry, and the Freemasons use the term as a description of sharing their secrets, but it is not true enlightenment.
Very good. the "secrets" were of the celestial arrangements. Whoopdy do right. you obviously DO know your stuff. My 104 grandmother was the grand matron of the local order of Eastern star. YES you are right on. NO building secrets just the letters on the five pointed star.
isnt YTube the source of great accurate knowledge? @$%@#%^$@&
Thanks, I was wondering if even the masons have forgotten the secrets they once knew, and I think you may have confirmed my suspicion. Another mason I talked to was aware of high level sacred geometry, and we were able to have a conversation based on the trinity and the clover being the center points for much deeper understanding than the flower of life. What I know comes from no order, and I think I remember what I know from previous incarnations. Once you figure out the 7 point star, the rest just falls into place through experimentation.
Made by one man Yes
So old Ed had more going on in his head than we knew. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Me thinks you missed the entire mystery of the mystery. Cutting the stone is nothing. It can as you admit, be cut with a hand saw. This coral limestone is a soft material which can be cut and shaped with ease. All it requires is time and energy.
Lifting the blocks is the mystery because they are so heavy. Stacking them only increases the mystery.
What do you do with the story of Ed moving one of his creations to another site via a wagon. How did he get the stones up on the wagon. And more importantly, how did he remove the stones from the wagon and stack them at the new site without his cutting contraption or his tripods, in the middle of the night without his battery powered lights and all of this in the course of less than 6 hours? That story has been verified and proven to be true.
Ed also said that he understood how the Egyptians built the pyramids by utilizing what he re-discovered. And he said that he refused to share his discovery because he feared what mankind would do with it. Building a DC (pulse) generator and utilizing solenoids to operate jack hammers was far from anything to be feared because that technology was already widely used. However Ed's generator and his primitive solenoids do show us that there is great power in magnetism if you can harness it.
The mystery is magnetism. Ed speaks of that all through his writings. The mystery of the mystery is how to capture the earth's natural magnetism which affects everything on earth, even gravity. And that is what takes us to Ed's repeated inferences to time, longitudes, latitudes and materials, which is what we still don't understand to this day. You have figured out one of Ed's experiments but you neglect the mystery of the mystery.
He used the Earth's mag to move them and it deals with the cone shaped rocks he had and there's more to it water is one .
You make some very good points Ed, I tend to agree with you.
There is more mystery here.
Also Thomas is right... I heard a theory where water plays a part in the cutting, in an uncommon way.
The pond /tub at the site is said to be used to create a kind of ionicly charged water which is ready after the water has evaporated to the second inner cut-out in the pond/well. Then used to cause the stone to cleave apaet by dripping it along the cut line. As I said 'uncommon'.
If modern-day engineers, when trying to improve the 10 tonne door (which used to open with just a push of one finger), were only able to only ruin it all together... then it points to the use of an uncommon (miss-understood) force.
Also can you imagine how much attention all those lights running, and having a truck engine running all night would attract, not to mention the added sound of the saws and solinoids going at the same time.
I admire your mind and your video but I believe there's more to it personally.
He fracked the inside of the coral then pumped air into it and capped the blocks. They used water to float them.... I'm pulling this out of my ass, but that's how I would do it.
Nice video. Nice explanations. Though there are still many unanswered questions. Such as an uneducated man able to have a greater engineering understanding than the mechanical, electrical, engineers and physicists with a Ph.D. around the world? And, doing so from only reading books in the neighborhood public library? How could he afford to pay for all those working batteries, mechanical devices the were specially made with tools and methods he did not have access to or the most likely ability of resources and financal means to make or buy these specialize devices you arexmentioning?
Part of me is, on a side note, thinking if we could just look at the record of all the books he had checked out at the library, read this book, would at least give us the background of how he was able to figure out the knowledge he was able to learn and figure out himself.
I will give it to you, these are nice explanations to how he may possibly have built his castles. Though I also have to agree with the person here questions as well.
1) That is was stated by Ed that it would 3xplain how the Egyptians built the pyramids.
2) Why he was concerned that if the world should have such knowledge.
3) And, if I recall correctly how the earth's own lay lines, magnetic energy and such was what allowed him to do so.
4) I am also courious how he was able to move 30 ton stones? Yes a cart will make the moving of heavy objects easier. Though anyone who has used a wheelbarrow or a hand pulling cart knows, the more weight put in these carrying devices, the more difficult it will be to move. That is even if he had the cart sturdy enough to do such moving repeatedly over the years use.
There is also that giant stone door he made that was so perfectly balanced on its center axis at the top and bottom that a person could open and close the spinning doorxwoth their finger, and little effort in doing so. Also feeling confident when no matter how many times opening and closing, that it would not fall off its axis, and be a potential danger to anyone around.
I also recall how extremely secretive he was at night to all his workings. With stories of people trying to catch, and sneak a view of his secrets with pur his knowing, with no lick in doing do.
Though again good explanations. Possable if not answering all the questions, then at least some. And, also demonstrating pictures to such objects, machines he had at his property for use, that most were not awair of. Those demonstrating the strong connection to these devices being of use in his project.
So, thank you for sharing.
EdOfTheNorth The mystery is in the application of energy against the coral or stone- that concentration of energy force through the blades is not something we get to see except in something similar to plasma welding, or water welding. To cut the stone, not just a small stone but a massive, several ton stone, perfectly cutting the stone would take a great force, or would it? The interesting part is that people assume Ed did this on his own without getting the epiphany from someone else- how do we know someone else didn’t inform Ed and he just applied it?
Lovely story, a simple engineer with impeccable brilliance. Engineer 1, Illuminati 0...
Thanks for making this video. My family has been in Miami since 1919. I was always unhappy at the recent bizarre theories people used to attribute how Ed was able to build his stoneworks. Many of them claim he used unknown magical and mysterious forces that normal humans were incapable of. The truth was he was a wonderful stonemason and engineer. He did not have alien help, he had a lot of intelligence and grit and gumption and the desire to create that is in most of us. Ed should be held as an example of what we can all do when inspired, not portrayed as some mystical person who had access to otherworldly nonhuman resources. I think the creator of this video showed a similar amount of ingenuity and desire to create as much as Ed. Thanks a lot for making and sharing and inspiring.
So it comes down to either aliens or what this video says? Case solved then, its all here, 100 percent.
yea i went to visit because of everything i saw online but now i understand what it is and the tour certainly left no doubt about the museum :) i plan to go back soon and do the tour properly
Robb's Homemade Life b
Earlier days when there is no technology people used to say God did it. Because it is beyond their knowledge. Nowadays, they says it aliens done it. They do not understand the human possibilities and defame it by taking name of aliens.
Robb's Homemade Life
Hey Rob !
I love the way you laid that out! There’s there real truth on how us humans can have people to look up too!
you left out a couple points. First, Ed stated he knew how to find the exact center balance fulcrum) of a stone, no matter the size or shape. That was required to be able to move the stones. Second, Ed moved the castle ten miles from Florida city to Homestead, a distance of ten miles, in a 3 yr time frame. Third, Ed clearly stated many times he used reverse magnetism to defy gravity. Fourth, Ed weighed about 120 lbs and worked alone because he refused to divulge to anyone the secret of how to move the stones. You stated you nearly completed a model of Eds machine. I suggest you finish the model, then move a stone 10 miles by yourself. You have only explained how to raise the stone from the ground. something we already knew. And you stated how you believe the machine works but never explained at which point the machine reverses the magnetic field to cause an anti gravity effect on the stone. So basically, we are back where we started. We don't really know how the machine works. KNOWING where electricity moves is the easy part, understanding the effects, exact parameters of the voltage, amps, power (watts) and the magnetic field created is still undetermined.
I knew indeed there would be no information here. starts out: I was was born very young... rocks are heavy...
Thankfully your comment spared me from the rest.
There is a very rare video of Ed actually lifting and moving stones using tripod and pulley system with chains rolling on top of smaller logs on top of our logs. He also loaded the trucks that moved the stones 10 miles away and then unloaded them. He didn't physically move the stones by his own hands the way you might think.
I dont know about all that but I can tell you he did not work alone ruclips.net/video/fqb3TNWxgDU/видео.html
@@babayega_ He didn't let people see him work, so why would you expect that him doing something on film is *the* method he used. Personally, if someone wanted to film me while I work on a secret of mine, I'd make it look like like I'm working the hard way as to trick people.
During the tour they said he had a team of people help him showed photos ...idk what's true don't care it's something else
This site will last for thousands of years, and you Eds, your name will be immortal as long as the site exists
This video was a treat and a pleasure to watch. A deft and concise display of logic and erudition. When you look at it, it makes so much sense with such an elegant ease. Of course the 16 spiked wheel is a rotor, when the magnet stator and the engine generator were found on site. Thank you for putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Even for a layman unsavvy in the field of electric machines, the methodical way you went through all the details allowed me understand the working principle..... I have little pity for mystics and quacks, however clever they may be, but lets assume Ed Leedskalnin had his reasons. Thanks again for the hard work!
This is silly. Where does this show any proof. I wanna see stones lifted, he says he has all the tools. The hick didnt figure it out. Dont be fooled, they had ways of getting running electricity in much easier ways. This is stupid.
it ok if you prefer the magical explanation
You don't knopw your history of the place. I KNOW he lifted the rocks with chains and everything like the movie, BUT the wheel was always the TRUE mystery. THATS ALL. I want to know how he cut the rocks and what the wheel REALLY did. The rest SHOULD be obvious like all the rest of the giant sites, BUT how did they CUT the rocks. Eds wheel is an old DC machine.
Does S stand for Stupid you say? He NEVER had utility power everyone knew that but he did have BATTERY power. for lights BUT MAINLY TO CUT ROCKS. NOTHING else. its a stone garden not a engineering museum. Lets try to keep is simple. You know the rest. And I beg to differ my good man it is NOT SILLY. I am hurt.
Thank you I am trying. I have cut rocks now but won't upload the "action" because of future plans for books movies, Documentyaries etc. OH YES I GOT IT NOW GUARANTEED. the rest is nothing more than $$$$$$$ to film capture, quarry, and lift some like the ol boy did 80 years ago.
PS the doc is wrong on the batteries. they were not in the boxes. SAWDUST SOAKED IN OIL to preserve the poles was. Simple and I know first hand. I didn't and after 2 years of rain. mine are rotten. go figure. appreciate the comment. Scott R.
I was born in FL but had never heard of The Coral (Rock) Castle. I moved to NC in 1999, never having had an opportunity to go back and see this. This was a fascinating video. Thank you!
This is THE VERY BEST documentary I have seen on Mr. Leedskalnin and his work. Thank You.
Absolutely the best Leedskalnin information- documentary I've seen. Most impressive.BYW I knew a guy who worked at CC in the 80s, though he had no clue as to the details you demonstrate. I hope this video is played for guests at CC so they can appreciate what is otherwise not explained.
Dude, you are AWESOME!!! Since childhood, I've wondered how Ed built it and wondered about all the clues he left behind. I'm so happy to know someone figured it out. Thanks again!!
Had to. its too much work and insulting the guy to say it was magic science unrevealed.
Wow!! hats off to Mr. Scott Russell for the most impeccable and well presented documentary of the wonders of Mr. Ed Leedskalnin's Coral Castle. I have always been fascinated by this amazing and phenomenal labor of love. Thank you Mr. Russell - incredible research and presentation. Thank You very very much -
Godspeed to You and Yours
+TRISMAJISTOS thank you that is greatly appreciated.
How this guy understood that he needed a solenoid and separate switch to control the high energy circuit as well as a great understanding of how a generator works is impressive. Apparently the quarry experience was ingrained in his DNA!!
Y'all I appreciate anyone that even mentions Ed's name. Of all that have stated they know how megalithic structures were built and they tell us how, or have computer animation to show us but Edward Leedskalnin is the only one that showed us he can build one alone. That is true proof of science. R.L. Poole is the only one to truly decode all of the clues left by Ed. Ed stated magnetism and gravity ate the same.
How he cut the stone was never what really intrigued people, it was how the hell did he move them.
Bingo.
100%
TELEKINESIS
We know how he moved the stones, on the back of a truck over the course of a few years from one location to the other ten miles away.
People these days can't comprehend it because they want everything instantly done for them by someone else. This was a passion of labour for Edward, who spent a large portion of his life slowly working on the landscaping.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es
But didn’t they say that some of the stones were as heavy as 30 tons? How does a personal truck hall 30 tons?
The good word says "my people perish for lack of knowledge" your explanation is pure genius. Thank you for the very thorough explanation. We are no longer a generation of "common sense" we have lost this once "common sense knowledge"My grandfather used to move entire barns back in the 30's but died when I was 6 years old and now that knowledge is lost. I live in Florida and will be showing my children this video before taking them down there to visit the museum. Ed constructed something very beautiful with limited tools and technology and under budget. What a great lesson learned.Thank you again!Genius=taking something complex and explaining it simply.Moron=taking something simple and making it complex.
How am i only seeing this video 8 years later. Amazing research, you must be a very smart man (:
IKR Maybe ppl skipped this vid bc the other theories were so much more fun just like the Ancient Aliens hype back then
Crane operator here from Texas. Man what an excellent explanation. Yep he moved and built all that with his mind, just not the way people thought.
Congrats on a very well made and informative video! I have often wondered if what they said about him was true, but instead of conjecture, you seem to have put the pieces together nicely. I know the amazing amount of effort and time this must have taken for little reward except knowledge, which is its own reward, but it is important to share this knowledge for future generations, I hope to see a book from you, I will buy it.
Thank you for working out how Ed did all this and documenting it.
Some deny my "getting close" but I know I am. THANKS
Scot Russell!!
If you built all of the replica work shown in the video, I praise you for your interest and work! You really stuck to the rules! No cheating at all. Everything you use would have been available in the 20s and 30s. Good work man, why can’t I have a neighbor like you to hang out with?...
i witnessed my fatner and my uncle move a large granite tombstone off a truck by hand with no mechanical equipment - when I asked dad the magic trick he said you let the stone do the work - with a lot of fussin an cussin magic incantations - my grancfather came over from Sweden and started the monument business, passing the knowledge down to his sons - my other grandfather was a brick mason from Scotland - I became an architect - all those skills are lost today. Thank you for this superb video!

Good show :)
You know I've seen quite a few zany theories about how this man must have possessed some lost ancient magical knowledge and levitated blocks or had demonic assistance and such... but you sir really demonstrate your mechanical genius here in this video and offer the most feasible scenario yet as to how this set of structures was actually built by one man. Thank you very much for a great video.
And I made this first comment before I even finished the video or read any of the others. Now I'm seeing much the same sentiment from the rest of the public and there's a reason. Very well done.
Guy C ill bet this is nowhere near how he did it
Guy C i think he used a drill bit
That music makes this sound psychotic. Your statements are occasionally so overblown, you come off as a crazy.
^^^^
I don't think either of you watched the whole thing.
Thanks a lot. A lot. Reasonable, credible. No dwarfs, elves, ufos. What a relief, what a pleasure watching your video. Island of true magick of pure intellect. Thanks once more.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about the blocks and antigravity, this man has ABSOLUTELY EXPLAINED what's there when it comes to DC current and the necessary tools and components on sight. I'd kill to possess his old school ingenuity and understanding of electricity... probably a logger.
Great Video!! I cant believe this is 9 years old. Glad I got to see it!!!
Brilliant explanation, Thank you!
Ed Leedskalnin had the entire coral castle moved to Miami from the original site. Ed hired a driver to take the rocks to Miami, he told the driver to leave the truck at night and the truck would be completely loaded by morning. Ed did all the loading and working at night to prevent others from seeing what he was doing. Well one time the driver came back to his truck only 30 minutes later. To his amazement the truck was already completely loaded with over 30 tons of rocks! How did Ed load that truck with 30 tons of rocks in just 30 minutes? How could his tripod move stones that weigh 30 tons when the tripod could only support 2 to 5 tons max? Ed used anti-gravity to nullify mass/weight of those rocks. Gravity is a subset of electricity and magnetism it doesn't exist as a separate force. Ancient builders knew this. That is how all the great ancient structures were built, the stone henge, puma punku, the pyramids. The great pyramid is 1,200,000 blocks at 433 feet tall, built in only 20 years, average weight of block is 5,500 lbs. This means that a block had to have been cut, moved, and set into place above every 8 minutes and workers had to have worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week while maintaining the precision of the blocks at 0.01 mm... That task is impossible even today!
Naoki Kashima IMPOSSIBLE? woops you just landed on the wrong site to start using such BLIND words. I can tell right away you are either very young or very young at mind. Because these things are not impossible. What is impossible is to get the public to stop believing stupid exaggerated "non provable stories". As for 20 years that might be wrong but that's it the rest is "probably done by man" how is impossible for modern lazier unorganized minds to understand.
Don't get me wrong Naoki, I am not running down todays people just that know one seems too much common sense old fashioned thinking any more WITH physical teamwork. I have levered some very large things into place and know Ed leedskalnin built this place with perserverance and sweat not some silly never ever seen device. Come on. Really. Ground control says NO. peace. Scott R.
Made by one man If ED used conventional methods for building the Castle how come he only worked at night? How much harder is it to dig and lift giant stones under the light of a candle light? What about the report of kids spying on Ed. They stated that he was levitating the stones using two cones. Kids reported that stones were floating as if they were giant balloons. How did Ed load that truck with over 30 tons of rocks in just 30 minutes? Ed was only 115 lbs (very small man).. What is the point of having so many inductors, transformers, the flywheel if he didn't use them for some grander electrical setup? Go read Ed's book called 'the electric current' it will give you a different perspective about what Ed was doing.
Naoki Kashima he didn't use candlelight, he had lights! He did it at night #1 because of the heat #2 he was giving tours during the day. He NEVER FINISHED THE FIRST SITE.. it took him 3 years to move the first site to the new location. He didn't levitate anything... he used chains, please look at Ed's original 1930's video of him lifting and moving the coral. If you still think there is something more, they have medication for your condition...
shidoin Did Ed Leedskalnin have advanced knowledge of electricity? Wad Ed a high level Freemason? All one has to do is go to the Coral Castle and look around. You'll see "the star of david" or the joined pyramids in at least 3 places within the Castle. You also will see the Moon sculptures. These are both well known Freemason symbols. Ed is known to saying, "if you put one of my devices on a rocket and fly it to the moon and then come back you'll have the same amount of fuel as when you started". What was Ed talking about in that quote? Is he talking about harvesting energy from the vacuum of space? I think so. If Ed only used levers and a tripod to move his stones how did he move the 35 ton stone in the Coral Castle? Why don't you do a video demonstrating how it is possible to move a stone with a weight of 35 tons using this method :P
Naoki Kashima no ed did not have knowledge of ADVANCED electricity, he did however understand electricity. He was NOT a freemason, but he was a stone mason. Stars, the sun, the moon. That's pretty mind blowing. There is not a 35 ton block at the castle. It's easy to take a statement and twist it to work with your beliefs..
Congrats! My dad always figured that fellow was just a hard working mechanical genius. Seems like you have proved that. And, it seems you are as well!
Thank you. I am just giving my best shot. and I heard the target go tink from a distance.Thanks a bunch.
I’m not sure this is 100% correct, your equipment doesn’t appear powerful enough to well do anything Ed did, but I am fascinated by all of your time and work.. you may be right, I’m not smart enough to figure this out. Props to you bro
While he makes many valid discoveries, it still doesn't explain how he moved it from where he originally built it, to where it stands today. Also doesn't explain the massive doors you can open with one finger, with the exception of one which was knocked out of position. As far as I know, they still haven't been able to restore it to the way Ed originally set it.
As a retired School of Engineering person this is an absolutely excellent analysis and presentation of how it was all accomplished by a single person. Archimedes Quote: Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
very interesting. I always wanted to know the secret behind the Coral Castle and how it was built. That was a very good explanation and rendition of how he built his sweet 16 Coral Castle, that he left behind for the World to be in awestruck by at what he left behind for the World to observe!
Two big problems - 1st ) Regardless of your example, the design you suggest does not provide ample force to do anything of the magnitude it would require to work the coral. Fact ) Scientists have commissioned contractors to use whatever heavy machinery they would like to replicate the work and precision - they were unable to do so. 2) The wheel was not free spinning, instead was enclosed within another ring of block shaped machinery and was hand cranked at the very least to get the process rolling (as seen in several photos of Ed and remnants at coral castle) . Another piece that just does not work well with your idea - Ed moved every block of the castle by himself (and a driver who was not allowed to help him) onto a flatbed, and off the flatbed - to an entirely new location. I am quite comfortable saying that had he only been using a pulley system and tripods - the driver would have had no problem identifying how Ed moved the blocks. Instead, he had no idea how Ed did it. While your suggestions do pose as possibilities - unless you can undertake something just as advantageous as Ed has done on your own , with your theory and no help, do not suggest you know how it was done otherwise the only thing you are doing is showing how pompous you really are. And Ed definitely deserves more respect than that.
And finally - the 1930's video is hollywood at its finest. If you're telling me that you believe what you see in film then oh boy.. This HAS become deluded.... Ed worked at night - and did not share his secrets in his writings, visitors, nor onlookers. When asked, he wouldn't share it - and almost lost his life as a result of this: which also was the premise of him moving his castle. IF it was a matter of simple mechanics and machinery , I do not think Ed would have had any problem sharing it with the rest of us. Instead of his two books being cryptic; he would have just laid it all out. I'll give credit where credit is due; your suggestions 'sound' convincing - now get out there with your theory, cut some 30 ton coral slabs out of the earth, pulley and stack them and prove it to the world. Otherwise, just another sham.

Nothing mysterious here.
People that will believe secondhand accounts from sources that can't be confirmed seem pompous to me. All these tales of he/she said they saw this or that but never any names.
Well stated and exactly. Just another cover up of Ed's actual abilities...this is NOT scientific proof. I'm quite sure how he did it, and I myself as well as others are now working on real world analysis and replication... :)
I beg to differ. As a mechanical engineer who has worked with electric motor design for decades. As a lover of stone masonary. As an owner of a 16 hp version of the engine shown. Who moves 40 ton machines often using simple rollers. That sheet of steel will slice that limestone like butter. Two engineers. One using engineering to do magic. And one showing it isn't magic. Just sound engineering.
@@randytucker3083 Beg All you Like, you haven't made a 9 ton door that you can push with you little finger that has a hole drilled through its centre with such precision that they have no clue how Ed did it. And couldn't replicate it....and when they tried to 'service' it...after 30 years of trouble free movement...they broke it.
Well done, Scott Russel. Your work goes a long way in explaining convincingly the methods used in creating the Coral Castle along with Ed's writings and the many materials and artifacts found on site. Bravo.
No, it doesnt...lol. His 'engineering solution' is all but bunk. How did Ed charge those batteries? Did he put ANY type of power measurement into this? He just 'plugs in the wheel', shows it spinning...and says 'this is how it works'. Yeah well, how many batteries did it take? Did he cut ONE rock with this method? Do you know how many batteries it would take to cut rock in this way? How did Ed charge those batteries? With his tiny 'hit and miss' engine he had (most don't even know he had this). This is extremely inefficient. You would be better off using the mechanical energy from the generator its self to cut the stone. Ed only had ONE cutting device, which is seen at his 'at work' photo. This guys explanation above is all but a distraction from the 'real' technology used. Just like Tesla...they don't want you to know the real stuff.
when he moved big parts of coral castle by himself on the rental truck-driver left only for 25 min. for short lunch,but his big truck was all ready fully loaded for relocation
That is perhaps the biggest clue yet. It tells that the block and tackle were not the method used.
if your erect a tower as many times as he did you get quicker at it. My dad in the early 60s pulled the tubing string and rod string from an oil well he owned using the triple beam method. Lots of people did this. See the huge trees they loaded on the wagons? Not rocket science.
It's fake story. Driver was paid to make this joke (driver thought so).
@@randytucker3083 if it was they simple people would have figured it out long ago.
Scott, the more I watch this video the more I like it.
Yup its a little barbaric but I am making GOOD head way on the real process to the point where i am almost ready to go to Florida. Coral Castle Nut Roadtrip. Any takers. ?? hope you are well brother. all that mathematics you are digesting will come in handy later.!!!!! Scott
Really interesting. But the soundtrack is annoying...
This short film should be shown at the site as a way to explain what they are looking at. Well done good show.
Ah, so many critics, so few actual working wizards. Great job, Scott. Don't let the shallow negative morons reduce or demean any of your brilliant work. I first visited Coral Castle with my parents back in the 70's. I took my kids to see it in the 80's when the door was still working exactly as Ed built it. The most amazing feat ever and the engineers managed to screw it up permanently. I revisited with my wife this past summer. I had a fresh perspective on it, but was still dumfounded on how his obviously magnetic and electronic apparatuses worked together.
You have put the pieces together majestically! Thank you. Ed had a firm grasp of the power of magnetism and electrical energy. He shut down many an engineer that has attempted to explain his system for the past decades. We may still not know exactly how he moved multi-ton limestone blocks, but it's not that far a stretch that he used mechanical energy, as well as magnetic and electrical energy. Is it possible he also had insight on frequencies, Earth magnetic energies and the electrical properties of energy in water? Sure. But until someone can tell us exactly and accurately, just as Scott has done here with his hard work and research . . . then, just shut the hell up!
You figured it out and it makes complete sense. Nice job man. This guy was ahead of his time for sure. You saved history from being lost. So you have become part of the history of this also ;)
So we still dont know how it was done.
The only people that will find an explanation for anything in THIS video, is someone looking for an explanation(sort of) as to how this machinery was assembled. If one has no knowledge of what is required to actually handle blocks the size of those used in the construction of this monument.or for that matter,. assembling the blocks once they are in the general vicinity of where they are intended to go, they might consider this a AH HA video. What is it that makes some people so driven to explain things, that others, highly knowledgeable/experienced in their particular field, operators, engineers, stonemasons, ironworker, etc. etc.can not explain? The only explanation that I've found for it is FEAR, absolute terror of the unknown. That said, why don't one of you that feels that this video has enlightened you, removed enough of the mystery to build just one of the creations within CORAL CASTLE, DO IT. Make a video of it and post it here on You Tube so those of us not gifted with your acumen, can perhaps understand how Mr. Leedskalnins managed to do this by himself
No he didnt. Watch Searl zero point generator, real science
I love how everyone who's solved the mystery doesn't cut or lift/move a single block of stone.
Spend a year, build one wall, and i'll believe that you solved it. until then, it's all hypothetical.
Also You have to make the wall look like the stone was melted together to where you can’t even fit a piece of paper into the crack then I might believe it is well I’m with you here
Did you not see the prototype tripod and cutting machine the author constructed? Did you even watch the video? That wasn't hypothetical at all. Mystery solved!
So what was the power source for the building of the Pyramids, moving huge rocks, cutting them and completing them so quickly?
J. Stribling wtf are you talking about, huge difference is craftsman ship! You cannot get blocks that flat and smooth from that method. Period, thats the real facts here
ZEN CAPTUREALL ON SUICIDE WATCH
Science and logic win again.
Great job at figuring out his setup and then explaining how it all worked. Amazing work.
Whatever way he did it,this was a great man a larger than life person who left a lasting legacy!
Even after him showing us,nobody has ever equaled his ability.
Much respect for a man of small stature with the shoulders of a giant.
Outstanding job of figuring it out. I work a short distance from this site and have visited it and bought some of the pamphlets there. I think that this video hits the nail on the head. If only they taught the young people these electrical, leverage and construction ideas nowadays. He figured it out by self educating from books and introspection.
Ed was electromechanical genius...wow
Not him (Edward), but his friend Nikola Tesla !
FRIEND? The fuck. Just shut up you blind fool.
@@jojolafrite90 yes i dont see even the slightest mention Ed and Tesla knew each other, perhaps professeur essef was not being literal? I think he just meant that what we have lost from Ed was the same knowledge that we have lost from Tesla. Being dismissive can be distinguished from being derogatory. If you have a good analytical mind youre always going to be pissing people off anyway, the swears will just lessen the impact and let people dismiss the truth behind what youre saying.
@@lecinquiemeroimage prove it. Do not claim what's already in the school books that lead us to dead ends!!!! Physics need rewriting !!!!!!!!! History TOOO!!!
Finally!.. a very thorough & logical explanation
Scott, hello once again! I texted you years ago when having discovered your video on youtube! I just once again wanted to PRAISE your ingenuity and intellect AND perseverance! You single-handedly solved this enigma! What I find amusing is people don't even bother to look at all of the videos and photos of Ed using enormous block and tackle! they do zero research to learn that he was a stone mason who came from a stone mason family! You proved beyond a reasonable doubt how and what all the "gear" was being used for! PERIOD! I remember watching "in search of" with Leonard Nimoy and being irritated by the prospects of "unknown" magical powers creating this work...like "floating" the rocks with his mind power! etc...the true unknown "irritates" me because I want to really know the truth! And you my friend solved the mystery! again! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for putting this mystery to bed for me. I have remembered this tale for decades. I understand electronics and everything you presented is factual in your explanations. I am happy to see that technology prevails here.
Hands down the best explanation on youtube. And just when I was losing faith in humanity this documentary has lifted my soul.
A lot of people speculate how these things were done. You actually did it. Good work. Great explainations of the tripod erections and central power system. Nice to see someone do the homework and replicate how it was done!
Mr.Russell, fabulous video! Like you I was born in 1961, so our experiences on a large scale are similar. Without getting into a diatribe on the failings of our educational systems the past 40 years I’d like to commend you on your use of language to impress or educate.
Early in the video you spoke of Ed’s appetite to read. Reading and therefore knowledge is paramount to understanding the world around us or at least the world in which we place ourselves.
Thank you.
absolutely fantastic work here! you sir have made Ed proud! I've been waiting for this explanation for ten years! I applaud you.
More to go BUT thanks
I have to say I love your straight forward naration, calm and steady. The music is nice too, not all that common on youtube vids. I respect the work you did on this video, very nicely laid out in an organized point by point, tons of pictures and a lot of ACTUAL EXPERIMENTATION instead of conjecture! And like some one else commented, no flights of fantasy with aliens n what not. Favorite quote: human illusionment @ 19m 5s, it pretty much sums up other videos on the subject. Thanks for a nice, informative and realistic half hour. Time NOT wasted.
The man that did this is as Brilliant as Ed. AMAZING !!!
And now you know the rest of the story... Nice work explaining some difficult conceptual problems. Thanks for all your work and for the video!
wow, so cool that you figured out, on a practical level, what so many so called 'experts' could not... you deserve our respect, just like Ed does...thank-you
You have my attention but I would have to go back and read about the situations where he did something extraordinary in a short time when people were listening and did not hear any noises, etc to indicate he was doing things that used the kinds of energy you are describing.
Another point is that the men at that time would have been familiar with the things you are describing and if he could have done them they would have known it.
I think that he did do things with the equipment he had but I also think he did something more either with that stuff or other stuff that related to magnets.
I volunteered at UFO and free energy conferences for 20 years and I saw some amazing things. A thing on a carburator that ran a car idling for 8 hours a day of the event, and the exhaust pipe was ice cold. A device made of round magnets that copied the 'wedding cake saucer ' that Billy Meier in switzerland photographed, and when the guy stood it up it began to rotate wildly on only the power from the magnets. And I have seen videos where things Ed had were moved to make a magnetic change and did something I forget, but it was impressive.
I agree with other commentors that although impressive, you theories have not shown they can do the moving of the coral slabs, and if they could as you say, five men could not do it in the time he did things.
It is like the Japanese team that moved a huge block by ropes, but they never got it up to anyplace that showed it could be done and was an explanation for how the pyramid was built.
I also have videos where Yul Brown barehanded with regular glasses and smoking a cigarette welded glass to tungsten, bricks to steel, etc with browns gas. Having worked as a fitter to a welder who cut 35 inch steel pipes, I know a bit about how welding does and does not work, and abiut how much one or two people can do when things are very heavy, etc
I think he could have done what you say but in months rather than hours, and if he did the people who tried to see how he did things would have heard motors and seen lights, etc,
Great reply. I've been to Coral Castle several times. Almost everything in this video's on point, except I don't remember seeing a reciprocation engine or a locomotion attachment or any heavy machinery. I think he was using the generator to do a couple more things that's missing in this video
Wow!! I just watched RFB yesterday with this on there! I'm so interested and would love to go see this! Thanks bunches!
I watched the same video!!! Wow another RFB follower!!!
I seen RFB video as well. It was an awesome video. The guy who showed up.and explained all about it. And had Richie as the lookout. Indiana Jones he called him. LOL.
i saw that on Marfoogle i think ritchie mirrored Marfoogles work
I just finished RFB's video too. Wish I could go see it
@@miked5256 no he didn't wtf
Ol' Ed was a man of mystery, but he left behind a loud and clear message to a world that wasn't too kind to him,
and it shouts Kiss my A**
It isn’t the stature of a man. But the ability to use his brain.
Sadly, today it is not about the brain but color of your skin!
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ! Destroyer of modern civilization.
The time and dedication in this video certainly deserve the number of views it has got in these 4 years. It is true that the guy in this video uses almost the same kind of things they let him see in the old vintage videos and the remaining of the museum, however with the machines he has built in this documentary never in this world he or anybody can build a Coral Castle like Ed did, in fact with those tools from this video he couldn't build even a wooden house. A real mystery solver would be a real cutting on the rock or a real lifting/moving of a 40-ton rock. I agree that was all his opinion of how it could be done not mystery solver at all.
Not to take anything away from Ed by any means, I'm a huge fan, but it's doable without secret methods. I move monstrously huge, heavy things frequently, and I do it alone (and at night usually) because other people get in the way, have a horrible understanding of force, and are a liability. So much easier to do work like this alone if you are so inclined.
I appreciated the work you put into this video. It would be useful that have more animated diagrams of what you are attempting to explain. I had a hard time following why these devices were particularly help in Ed performing these tasks.
Ed's book on magnets, the cover picture device, and the point he was making are a little more brilliant than most know... I've made a few. Notice how it holds the energy for ever until the loop is broken. He taught this point. What year was magnet core computer memory invented? He essentially taught how to make and understand a memory register. I'm not sure which came first though.... Sweet sixteen can also mean coming of age. He built a place to retire while being intriguing enough to draw his retirement entertainment. Pretty smart forethought, but as you said it probably had multiple layers of meaning to him.
Seems to me quite plausible. The idea of using a band/cable saw makes a lot of sense. Add in some moisture to keep the band/cable cool and the coral rock a bit soft/brittle and I like it. If you notice the coral is quite porous, unlike granite and other harder stone. I have found some coral to be quite hard but not as hard as many stones are. Excellent presentations. I'm going to give it a big thumbs up.
Interesting, and entirely plausible, it makes a pleasant change from the usual levitation/aliens (magic) nonsense normally put out on RUclips.
Well done.
+Andrew Holdaway I know right? Thank you much for that. you have no idea how much crap I get though. I don't know anything cause vibration is the key, or sound will levitate rocks. I just have to duck.

Thanks. I am sorry your post didn't get to me till now. I though we conversed but sometime you tube drops things. I Don't delete comments. someone else does behind the curtains. (i think) Scott R.
Really cool! The amount of practical and physical engineering knowledge Ed had is staggering! No wonder so many people are confused!
excellent documentary explaining Eds process of creating Coral Castle
great work explaining coral castles mysteries.
amazing, the things that people could get done before we all started sitting around watching tv and staring at the internet.
Tim vickers Indeed!😊
Excellent deductions and hands on reconstruction of evidence left by Ed, I'm sure he is chuckling in the spirit realms.
I've been in electronics for more then 50 Years. This is what I'm thinking as it relates to Ed;s efforts and design, All you need to do is look at his generator device, (one of six he built over time), It uses "V" (NOT BAR MAGNETS), magnets there was a real reason for that. The magnets were set up 25 magnets around and 5 deep. They were set up in repel mode to send as much "B" field into the earth as possible. The "B" field is the center of a magnet not the North or South poles those are the weakest points on a magnet. The "V" magnet is a perfect device for his purpose given the "B" field is at the center and allows all magnets to supply the center as needed then through the crankcase and then into the ground.
Once the ground was saturated with the "B" field energy I suspect he would use sound to manipulate the stone do to the fact the stones magnetic properties were totally disrupted by this injection of the "B" field energy. You can conduct your own test just by fast tapping a granite rock with the "B" field of a magnet you will see it loose weight!! Have
How would you bend the bar magnet onto a V shape without affecting it's strength? If you heated the bar magnet to bend it, wouldn't it lose it's strength? If you tried to re-magnetize it, wouldn't the apex of the v become a pole? If on the other hand, you don't heat it, and bend it cold, aren't you in essence making a horseshoe magnet? I fail to understand why you say the B field is the strongest, could you explain?
@@gerretw You bend the steel and then magnetize it after it cools
@@gerretw If you didn't have the "B" field north and south poles would not exist. Why do you think they are separated on any steel.
@@vincecox8376 I understand the need for the B field but isn't the field most concentrated at the poles? My question is: why do you say the b field is stronger than the field at the poles? I am not arguing, I want to know why that would be so. Looking at the pictures of Ed's machine - the magnets poles are touching, and the V is pointing towards the center. plus they appear to be wrapped with something, a sheet of copper? Perhaps making them into electromagnets?
@@gerretw Thank you for your concern, The "B" field gives you the North a South poles. The reverse oscillation are a product of the "B" field ....
Very well done. I read several of Ed's books, and conducted experiments using the principles he discussed.
Did I miss the part where a 30 ton stone was lifted in this video?
Maybe. Pay attention at about the 10:15 mark for a plausible explanation. If you want to see the experiment demonstrated and the results reproduced, then no, that part did not happen in this video.
Nerdy McNerdlington Thanks for responding. I was hoping to see the duplicated apparatus perform the job since the video is supposed to have cracked the conundrum. I appreciate you pointing out the 10:15 mark because I did miss it before. This video is still a theory of how it was done to me and not the explanation since it wasn't duplicated on film. Thanks again.
:)
I miss that part to.If I had to use this saw to cut all this coral I would shit.Ed varyed or shielded the field of gravity.
There is no way those stones weighed anywhere around 30 tons. They were more like 2.5 tons. The blocks would have to be close to nearly 9 ft. cubes or 27 cubic yards to have that much weight. They look to be closer to 2 cubic yards on the video. It's coral not granite.
excellent ... makes total sense. As a retired machinist/ miner, rigging and moving heavy weight I get. The old school electrical solutions also make complete sense.
Cutting heavy dense rock using these methods would also be possible.
2 outa three aint bad my good man, The 1 off is this, That damned shit down there is soft as freakin chalk. PERIOD. You tube stuff on CC is often REALLY REALLY WRONG. for $$$ of course. unless it just ignorance. and none of that crumbly garbage rock is very heavy either after all it is called Oolite GET IT
OOOH LIGHT. Sincerely Scott R.
PS thanks for the positive comments
This guy was really on the cutting edge of applied electrical theory in his day. He should be remembered for that; not the baseless, sensational ideas and rumors about him which were largely perpetuated by the pseudo-documentary t.v. show "In Search Of..." There's enough ingenuity and creativeness there that no sensationalism, fiction or conspiracy theory is needed. As for all the armchair experts who insist that there must be aliens or magic involved- every person who's ever studied any engineering of any kind gets a free laugh out of each of your comments, so keep 'em coming!
He came from a family that knew a lot about quarrying and such and he was an engineering genius of his time with a clear understanding of how to work smarter not harder. Thanks for setting the record straight and anybody with any brains would realize you've just debunked the crazy theories. I'm sure some people don't understand what you just proved and how it all comes together and will stick with their aliens help him theory; let them conspire and wonder, as you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. well done Sir.
Well, I'm glad he dispelled some of the Pergitude at least.
THANK YOU this was very informational.
the man was a GENIUS.
yeah, how about " Made by one man?" this dude has got, ...uh what one might consider "HIS SHIT TOGETHER!!" KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMING!!!
How every video ever should be. Straight to the point.
That's one place I'd love to see. It just goes to show that a dedicated engineer with enough motivation can do anything.
Ed was the man,May his soul be at peace,with the lord. Good job,brilliant work.
I've been to the Coral Castle and live in Fl. One enduring story is that Ed would have these huge stone blocks delivered via truck and would not unload them until the driver left. According to this video, Ed would have had to set up his tripod/block and tackle (?) mechanism over the truck, lift the blocks off, then disassemble the tripod and move the blocks via rolling logs around the site. It's possible, but it sure sounds like a lot of work.
Another thing, my understanding is that many of the myths or whatever were started by Ed himself. He would say things like "I figured out how the Egyptians built the pyramids" and so on. Good marketing, I'd say.
The testimony from some of the flatbed truck drivers that moved the massive stones stated that they went around the corner to an area that prevented them from seeing how the blocks were loaded on to the back of the flat bed truck. The real kicker here is that the truck drivers stated that it took Ed but a few minutes to accomplish loading each block onto the back of of flatbed truck. This does not give Ed anywhere near enough time to assemble and disassemble a massive tripod over the back of a flatbed truck of which would take hours if not possibly days. As we can see from this video simply erecting a tripod made out of trees is a massive undertaking. There is simply not enough time during the loading process of the block to assemble a tripod crane over the back of the truck and then disassemble it and accomplish that in just a few minutes. This video completely and absolutely overlooks this very simple fact.
Very nicely explained, although the other more intriguing elephant in the room is regarding "how" he moved these gigantic monoliths. Still a mystery I reckon.
I want to see a recreation of you actually building something from Ed's park.....
tbh if he could do, any men could probably do. Following his writings and his general understandings, I'm sure one again could form such monolithical structures.
scpetisism is great, but it can hold you back for the bad too
I want to see you do it.
@@Astrostone666 exactly.
@@Astrostone666 Check out FPV ANGEL here on RUclips. Go to the video list, there is a man named Roy who is doing TONS of videos regarding Ed Leeskalins works, notes, books, and yes how coral castles machinery actually worked. It's ALOT of watching if anyone truly wants to understand this is a close as it gets.
Have you visited his original homestead? Northeast of its current location. I was given permission to view the land where he originally set up his "castle". The area contains hundreds of metal pipes. A newspaper article in the office gives the clue to how Ed cut the coral. He used water pressure to cut and move the large pieces of coral. There are large square holes in the ground where he had removed the coral. This motorized contraption could not get under the pieces of the coral, so he developed a high pressure water system to undermine the coral. The devices you show are tinker toys and would not stand up to the daily work load that he produced.
@Ebony Hayes ...Without being mean, and just to get you thinking... The Easter Island statutes are just as heavy, and not compact like Ed's blocks. Yet they were moved. There is that video of a man using round stones and levers only, to move 20+ton blocks across his backyard...then lifting them upright. Used a GoPro? camera and invited all his family to watch him prove it could be done.
this all makes complete sense great logical and practical video
Thank you. I will update what few things are wrong like the boxes had sawdust and engine oil to preserve the poles not Batteries. Ooops.
Awesome work! You figured out almost everything about Ed and his ingenious methods of cutting his huge corral blocks. But how did he lift those heavy blocks is the big question? A wooden tripod? Pulleys lifting tons of stone? Ed said he discovered the secrets of ancient Egyptians. If it was all pulleys lifting the large stones why be so secretive about your building techniques?
he was simply saying, he thinks the Egyptians used his methods but scaled up to thousands of men, if he could do this all himself imagine what 5,000 workers could do.
when loading the truck
Ed would tell the driver to go behind the bushes while he loaded the big rocks on the truck.... I think there is more to this story than has been discussed
Sorry Ed = 1
US = 0
In many of those old photos of Ed's set up show those black boxes, where'd they go ???
