Moving really BIG heavy stuff

[CarolAnn]

Here's a video of a guy who moves huge and heavy things with no pulleys or levers, just rope, rocks and sticks (boards)! Although your run of the mill homestead rarely requires a Stonehenge installation, you might be able to use his technique to move a barn or out building (or some big rocks that are just in the way!

That was really amazing! So, the aliens didn't build the pyramids after all. Who would have ever guessed!

Wow!! I am really glad I watched that. I agree that really is amazing. Thank you Carol Ann for posting the link as I had not heard of him before or of his incredible technique.

That was very interesting, he sure made it look easy. Thanks for sharing the link. Rick

It just proves that scientist aren't always right and history is full of events that happened when people set their mind to it and ignored the naysayer's.

My current signature saying paraphrases that sentiment:

Archimedes said "Give a long enough lever and I could move the Earth." I have always been fascinated by leverage and mechanical advantage. I will be saving a copy of this to a flash drive so I can use it as an impromptu lesson in my substituting at school.

Thanks CarolAnn.

Thanks, Carol Ann, that was pretty amazing!

Although I am so clumsy that I know if I tried it, I would find out firsthand how so many Egyptian slaves ended up as involuntary mortar in between the stones of the pyramids...

Wow. 19 Thousand 2 Hundred Pounds! 19,200 By himself.
Yeah, no levers, no pulleys. Wally Wallington, Flint Michigan.
