Haha... No the thing that turns the Falkirk wheel uses the same power that a kettle uses..2kwatt ..amazing..Sorry Chalky I'm telling lies it's eight kettles..lol
"Despite such tonnage, The Falkirk Wheel can take a gondola with boats the 25 m vertical distance between the Union and Forth and Clyde canals using the power used to boil eight kettles. The half turn between the two canal heights takes five minutes."
