PizzaQ: What is it? What's its name? Where is it?

Click image to enlarge.

I've erased a bit of text that might have been a clue.

I feel sort of stupid that I never knew this Thing existed before tonight. Because it clearly must have been designed just for me. I fell in love with it instantly, and now I'm scheming to go see it.

It's very possible you're less stupid or comatose than I am and you know about this thing. If so -- you win 1 whole Pizza with your choice of 3 toppings.

What is it? (What's its name?)

Where is it?

What does it do?

its somewhere in europe. forget exactly where. but its that hydraulic aquaduct/bridge sort of thingamajif that gets rotated as per needed from the upper to lower level and moving water flow. at the same time it also moves people/boats/water that sorta thing. was watching a documentary on this earlier this year.

Oboy, this is the toughest decision the Pizza Ministry has ever had to rule on. Clearly you saw the same TV show I did. And once you see This Thing at work, you never forget it. It's just Startling. It makes you want to drop everything and enroll in Engineering School.

But ... uhhh ... Okay, I'll credit your account 1 Slice for "somewhere in Europe." And 1 Slice for your uhhh explanation of What It Does.

But this PizzaQ is still open.

Unbelievable! Phrost wins the Pizza & the Toppings! (Shipping and Transportation Not Included.)

The Vleeptron Ministry of Wow! will have a more complete discussion of the remarkable Falkirk Wheel soon. With some really nifty animations. 'Cause the Falkirk Wheel really DOES wiggle! You won't believe HOW it wiggles! Wow!

Most regular Vleeptroids know each other's business by now, so I am happy to introduce everybody to Phrost, a genuine Rokkit-Scientist-in-the-Making, a student at a very Big Brain college in the Mid-Atlantic USA.

Maybe Phrost will be kind enough to tell us how the heck he solved the PizzaQ.
