My admiration for the engineering artpiece. If all man ingenuity were put to work for the improvement of our world, we would not need to think in heaven.

i saw a presentation for this device.
the amazing thing is that it apparently only takes a few Kw of power to make the wheel turn since the loads and mechanism are so well balanced.
very interesting!
