@juergen_hubert Idon't fully understand how it works, but I wouldn't want to descent down under earth for 40 minutes on that thing.
@juergen_hubert That was really unexpected *mindblown*
"In the deepest mines, which could sink to more than 350 fathoms (640 metres)"
Imagine you have to go down on such a thing for 640 meters. 🙀
@dbread I plan to visit this mine in August, which still has operational man engines:
@juergen_hubert Impressive :)
Make some pictures but please don't fall down!
@dbread Wikipedia has an animated version of that last image:
