You can understand exactly what is amazing for the Lego block Panama canal kit by seeing the following movie.

A boy who assembles a Lego block.


The Panama Canal Kit is large, so we have created it for several people.


After each child has created each part ......


Combine the four parts into a mass.


Set a ship.


Turn the knuckle and turn it.


Then the water level of the space in front of the ship placed in front will go up ... ...


It is about the same as the water level of the place where the ship is.


In this state it is possible to advance the ship straight, so turn the gear and open the gate.


The ship goes straight.


I went to the second aquarium.


I will repeat the same process as before with this tank. Turn the handle around and raise the water level of the aquarium in front ... ...


Open the gate.


Go straight.


The way of doing it is slightly different only in the last aquarium, this time we will lower the water level by turning the handle.


As much as the level of the river ....


Opening gate. The ship can now safely leave.
