Scotland's Falkirk Wheel is an unusually modern machine that actually relies on an ancient Greek principle to operate. It’s the only rotating boatlift in the world, and while there’s much to admire about the practical ways in which the boatlift operates—including how a full rotation only requires less energy than 100 lightbulbs—much controversy has been had over the boatlift’s spikes and the reasons for their design.

The Falkirk Wheel, located in central Scotland, is the world’s only rotating boat lift, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. Opened in 2002, it replaced a series of old locks that had fallen into disuse.
