Drowning Machine: The Dangers of Low Head Dams — Practical Engineering

Civil Engineering on Instagram: "Types of dams Ever wondered how different types of dams resist water pressure? From Gravity Dams that rely on sheer weight, to Arch Dams that smartly redirect forces, and Buttress Dams that use internal bracing - each type showcases brilliant engineering! Learn the physics behind: • Arch Dam • Embankment Dam • Buttress Dam • Gravity Dam Reel & caption credits : @civil_eng1neering #_basics_of_civil_engineering_ #_civilengineering_daily_ #dam #steel #steelstructure

🌲 The Nature Wolf 🌲 on Instagram: "A beaver on a whimsical ice raft ❄️ 🎥 from @nick.sulzer The beaver floats in peace, fully at ease in the river he helped engineer. Their dams slow rushing currents, create deep ponds that provide safety and stable habitat, and even improve water quality for countless other species. When a slab of floating ice breaks free on the river, it’s more than a lucky ride. It’s the river giving back, offering free transportation through the very system he helped shape
