    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.

      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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    ... 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).

    Brilliant video! The simulation is so helpful to visualize and you selected several interesting civil and mechanical engineering feats to describe. I joined your Patreon on the merits of this video alone. It perhaps should be noted that lock systems were in wide use before the Panama canal and that both the French and Americans deliberated for extensive periods whether to attempt a sea-level or lock canal. Also, the video sort of makes the French look bad whereas a more accurate understanding might be of the French as pioneers. My read of David McCullough's The Path Between the Seas leads me to understand the Americans were very impressed with what the French had accomplished with the resources at the time.

    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.

    i was just wondering if it would be better for you to replace the AI voice with actual human voice . Personally i love the animations but i suspect that the new younger audience might not take videos seriously due the artificial voice and style of animation . I think the artificial voice and style of animation is quite different from other similar educational content that is put out by other youtube channels . I am probably wrong but just wanted to share my 2 cents .
