This video shows the result of a thorough investigation, and explains in a very clear way the technology Leedskalnin almost certainly used to build Coral Castle singlehandedly. I sent it to a friend who is an experienced electrical engineer and a senior program manager with a major defense contractor, and he too found the conclusions completely plausible. I'm very glad to have found your channel, and am now a subscriber.
@@garyfrancis6193 do u realize that many geniuses aren’t very great at speaking, spelling or grammar. U my friend, must need a hug or kick in the Ass or both. This is a neuro diverse world
I grew up in Florida and always thought about this place. I knew it was just physics and not magic. In fact, that is what got me interested in studying physics more. Some things he mentioned here I used in my generators for living off the grid for 60 years, like making the power source work at maximum output so there is no idling. This guy spent a lot of time in the museum studying everything and putting it together. It took a genius to put all the bits of knowledge together to build the coral castle and another genius to figure out how he did it. Great video.
YOU are impressive yourself. I am planning on moving to an area where many people live off the grid. I won't be totally off the grid, but there are things I wish I knew and understood about solar, wind power, and storing the energy in batteries.
Not bad for a guy with a 3 grade education. I believe he not only built it once but after being mugged he packed up and moved the castle to where it is now. While he did have tuberculosis he did not die from it. He died of starvation.
@@SWSimpson Taking it a bit at a time goes relatively quickly. Get with someone who has done it. Now that I have done it, it is simple. All becomes simple when the complexity is broken down to steps. Read Research Review Do & Redo as needed and all gets done.
Formal Education or seemingly measureable intelligence are not in themselves a warrantor for informed action, wisdom and deep consciousness. We see the catastrophic results of intelligence applied without wisdom or conciousness in the world around us on a daily basis
Dude, best explanation I’ve ever seen of coral castle technology. This is a masterclass in understanding Ed Leedskalnin and how to do very impressive feats with minimal resources
@@ww-pw6di how he cuts at least a couple of blocks of limestone out of the ground, 10 ton and under, (not even asking for 30tons) moves and positions them into place using his equipment.
Scott! Damn glad to see this masterpiece is still up and running!! It should NEVER be taken down!!! Still impressed with what you have done SINGLEHANDEDLY!!! You're still my hero! Debunked all the "stories" and 'In Search Of" television show!! Again GREAT JOB!!!
Watching this was NOT a waste of time. It's the best explanation of the coral castle I've ever seen. Despite what the haters in the comments say, this was fascinating and informative and I've never seen a better explanation of the technology used anywhere online. Great work to the video creator.
@@maxrodgers5702 what in the video shows lifting 60,000lb+ stones stacked into 1/1000th of inch by a hundred pound man. It would take multiple cranes to attempt to lift some of the stones. Just lifting it would a engineering challenge. Now stack them where a sheet of paper can't even begin to go through. 1/1000th of inch. Any stone workers today. Stacking stones to that tolerance.
Thank you for posting this. You should get a medal for figuring it out. Many people tried and failed to understand Ed's achievements. I bet he would have loved to have met a kindred spirit like you.
No, it doesnt...lol. His 'engineering solution' is all but bunk. How did Ed charge those batteries? Did he put ANY type of power measurement into this? He just 'plugs in the wheel', shows it spinning...and says 'this is how it works'. Yeah well, how many batteries did it take? Did he cut ONE rock with this method? Do you know how many batteries it would take to cut rock in this way? How did Ed charge those batteries? With his tiny 'hit and miss' engine he had (most don't even know he had this). This is extremely inefficient. You would be better off using the mechanical energy from the generator its self to cut the stone. Ed only had ONE cutting device, which is seen at his 'at work' photo. This guys explanation above is all but a distraction from the 'real' technology used. Just like Tesla...they don't want you to know the real stuff. This guys explanation is bunk...utter junk.
@@seditt5146 perfect reply to statements like that, might have to borrow it. His response to every solution will be nuh ah. I can predict another dozen situations or events of similar nature (read flat earth, pyramids)where that person will be of the opinion that the elite are withholding what was really done while also withholding the knowledge of free energy.
@@Pawbreakers_com wow. Tell how you really feel about this video! Lol. The guy was very creative. I thought the blocks were to heavy to lift with his tripod. Or is that false too? Ill never will try to do what he did.
@Pawbreakers_com Who on earth are "they"? Unless you can be specific (you must know since you claim to know what "they" think), your ramblings doesn't make any sense.
I went there with my wife probably 5 years or so ago, they act like they don't know anything. You just showed me 1000x the information than the tour guide did. The place is mesmerizing. Absolutely beautiful. The door doesn't move anymore because they tried to lube it and used something that caused more harm than good. Well, it was either the door or a huge turntable stone thing that you used to be able to s[in with your pinky finger? Don't recall now? Anyway, thank you for your awesome ingenious work to show us what the people who get paid to show couldn't.
I've lived in Homestead for 50+ years and visited Coral Castle several times. A friend of mine was a tour guide there some years ago. When we were kids we used to explore the grounds behind the place and marvel at some of the awesome blocks there. This video really explains things that we always wondered about, thank you. Ironic, now in 2024 I still live about 2 miles from Coral Castle. I think it's time to revisit.
Grew up in Key West, saw the coral castle on a tv show and bugged my parents to take me, went there when I was about 12 in 1980 and I bought his little books which I still have thinking I could learn his secrets. You have done an incredible job figuring this out. Thank you.
This is magnificent. Let the skeptics howl all they want - no-one has ever even come close to recreating it, but you did it. You created a video walkthrough showing every stage successfully. This needs to be a legitimate documentary. The haters don't like it because it doesn't involve mysticism, aliens, or sorcery. You broke their bubble. Outstanding!
With enough materials, a small source of power, some common sense automation, and sheer diligence... ...a man can beguile the minds of generations, with something no more complicated than a paperclip.
I wish this video has 30m views! I shared this in my FakeBook feed, writing, “When I was a kid In Search Of had an episode on the Coral Castle, marveling how one man could cut lift and build his castle and inferring that he had tapped into the same mystic knowledge of the Egyptian pyramid builders. I was fascinated. Roll forward 45 years and I stumbled upon the following video. It. Is. Awesome!” Considering my siblings are engineers and I’m a mechanic, I fully understood your explanation but marvel at both its creation and your puzzling out how it works. Once explained, duh! And while I first saw it and thought amateur, the clover leafs I didn’t get. Very, very cool!
This is probably the finest example of "research archeology" I have ever seen. This man needs to be commended and recognized for his achievements in decoding the mystery's of Coral Castle. This a a stellar achievement.
Billy Piazza oh really. and how does a fourth grade man with no vocational training on mechanical or masonery has carved it.And what is he purpose of making the telescope and align it with truenorth. And if it is that easy, why can't anybody be able to recreate such thing ever again
My friend. The video says that his father and grandfather were stone masons. He was also an experienced rigger. Mr. Russel also clearly showed how the cutting process occurred and how the flywheel was implanted. The only reason he didn't demonstrate how to cut the actual coral was due to the fact that there isn't any in Vermont. However, , I am afraid, the purpose of pointing a telescope at a star, was taken to the grave with Mr. Leedskalnin.
Yes, but a doc's son does not meccesarily bcms or knws aby anatmy. In d sm wy if his fthr nd frfthr r masons dat dsnt necessarily means dat he was equipped with masonry as well. And also he was a 4th grader and not eligible to rven attain in sort of vocation in this trade. Billy coral are quiet brittle and should be chipped wid a specific technique to prvnt thm frm breakin. How he'll be able to chip it?
Humm, that is an interesting question Sumeet. You are wondering how he was able to form those interesting shapes? I'll do a little research and get back to you with an answer my friend. It is nice to engage you in scientific discourse. I'm guessing you are from India. Greetings from America Mr. Ghai.
Thank you isn't sufficient enough for the work and tyerless effort you have done to prove your point about the ingeniousness of the devices and invention used in the construction of the coral castle. The world owes you much more than that. Magnificent work. You deserve a Pulitzer prize.
you left out a couple points. First, Ed stated he knew how to find the exact center balance fulcrum) of a stone, no matter the size or shape. That was required to be able to move the stones. Second, Ed moved the castle ten miles from Florida city to Homestead, a distance of ten miles, in a 3 yr time frame. Third, Ed clearly stated many times he used reverse magnetism to defy gravity. Fourth, Ed weighed about 120 lbs and worked alone because he refused to divulge to anyone the secret of how to move the stones. You stated you nearly completed a model of Eds machine. I suggest you finish the model, then move a stone 10 miles by yourself. You have only explained how to raise the stone from the ground. something we already knew. And you stated how you believe the machine works but never explained at which point the machine reverses the magnetic field to cause an anti gravity effect on the stone. So basically, we are back where we started. We don't really know how the machine works. KNOWING where electricity moves is the easy part, understanding the effects, exact parameters of the voltage, amps, power (watts) and the magnetic field created is still undetermined.
I knew indeed there would be no information here. starts out: I was was born very young... rocks are heavy... Thankfully your comment spared me from the rest.
There is a very rare video of Ed actually lifting and moving stones using tripod and pulley system with chains rolling on top of smaller logs on top of our logs. He also loaded the trucks that moved the stones 10 miles away and then unloaded them. He didn't physically move the stones by his own hands the way you might think.
@@babayega_ He didn't let people see him work, so why would you expect that him doing something on film is *the* method he used. Personally, if someone wanted to film me while I work on a secret of mine, I'd make it look like like I'm working the hard way as to trick people.
Thanks for making this video. My family has been in Miami since 1919. I was always unhappy at the recent bizarre theories people used to attribute how Ed was able to build his stoneworks. Many of them claim he used unknown magical and mysterious forces that normal humans were incapable of. The truth was he was a wonderful stonemason and engineer. He did not have alien help, he had a lot of intelligence and grit and gumption and the desire to create that is in most of us. Ed should be held as an example of what we can all do when inspired, not portrayed as some mystical person who had access to otherworldly nonhuman resources. I think the creator of this video showed a similar amount of ingenuity and desire to create as much as Ed. Thanks a lot for making and sharing and inspiring.
yea i went to visit because of everything i saw online but now i understand what it is and the tour certainly left no doubt about the museum :) i plan to go back soon and do the tour properly
Earlier days when there is no technology people used to say God did it. Because it is beyond their knowledge. Nowadays, they says it aliens done it. They do not understand the human possibilities and defame it by taking name of aliens.
Congrats on a very well made and informative video! I have often wondered if what they said about him was true, but instead of conjecture, you seem to have put the pieces together nicely. I know the amazing amount of effort and time this must have taken for little reward except knowledge, which is its own reward, but it is important to share this knowledge for future generations, I hope to see a book from you, I will buy it.
Me thinks you missed the entire mystery of the mystery. Cutting the stone is nothing. It can as you admit, be cut with a hand saw. This coral limestone is a soft material which can be cut and shaped with ease. All it requires is time and energy. Lifting the blocks is the mystery because they are so heavy. Stacking them only increases the mystery. What do you do with the story of Ed moving one of his creations to another site via a wagon. How did he get the stones up on the wagon. And more importantly, how did he remove the stones from the wagon and stack them at the new site without his cutting contraption or his tripods, in the middle of the night without his battery powered lights and all of this in the course of less than 6 hours? That story has been verified and proven to be true. Ed also said that he understood how the Egyptians built the pyramids by utilizing what he re-discovered. And he said that he refused to share his discovery because he feared what mankind would do with it. Building a DC (pulse) generator and utilizing solenoids to operate jack hammers was far from anything to be feared because that technology was already widely used. However Ed's generator and his primitive solenoids do show us that there is great power in magnetism if you can harness it. The mystery is magnetism. Ed speaks of that all through his writings. The mystery of the mystery is how to capture the earth's natural magnetism which affects everything on earth, even gravity. And that is what takes us to Ed's repeated inferences to time, longitudes, latitudes and materials, which is what we still don't understand to this day. You have figured out one of Ed's experiments but you neglect the mystery of the mystery.
You make some very good points Ed, I tend to agree with you. There is more mystery here. Also Thomas is right... I heard a theory where water plays a part in the cutting, in an uncommon way. The pond /tub at the site is said to be used to create a kind of ionicly charged water which is ready after the water has evaporated to the second inner cut-out in the pond/well. Then used to cause the stone to cleave apaet by dripping it along the cut line. As I said 'uncommon'. If modern-day engineers, when trying to improve the 10 tonne door (which used to open with just a push of one finger), were only able to only ruin it all together... then it points to the use of an uncommon (miss-understood) force. Also can you imagine how much attention all those lights running, and having a truck engine running all night would attract, not to mention the added sound of the saws and solinoids going at the same time. I admire your mind and your video but I believe there's more to it personally.
He fracked the inside of the coral then pumped air into it and capped the blocks. They used water to float them.... I'm pulling this out of my ass, but that's how I would do it.
Nice video. Nice explanations. Though there are still many unanswered questions. Such as an uneducated man able to have a greater engineering understanding than the mechanical, electrical, engineers and physicists with a Ph.D. around the world? And, doing so from only reading books in the neighborhood public library? How could he afford to pay for all those working batteries, mechanical devices the were specially made with tools and methods he did not have access to or the most likely ability of resources and financal means to make or buy these specialize devices you arexmentioning? Part of me is, on a side note, thinking if we could just look at the record of all the books he had checked out at the library, read this book, would at least give us the background of how he was able to figure out the knowledge he was able to learn and figure out himself. I will give it to you, these are nice explanations to how he may possibly have built his castles. Though I also have to agree with the person here questions as well. 1) That is was stated by Ed that it would 3xplain how the Egyptians built the pyramids. 2) Why he was concerned that if the world should have such knowledge. 3) And, if I recall correctly how the earth's own lay lines, magnetic energy and such was what allowed him to do so. 4) I am also courious how he was able to move 30 ton stones? Yes a cart will make the moving of heavy objects easier. Though anyone who has used a wheelbarrow or a hand pulling cart knows, the more weight put in these carrying devices, the more difficult it will be to move. That is even if he had the cart sturdy enough to do such moving repeatedly over the years use. There is also that giant stone door he made that was so perfectly balanced on its center axis at the top and bottom that a person could open and close the spinning doorxwoth their finger, and little effort in doing so. Also feeling confident when no matter how many times opening and closing, that it would not fall off its axis, and be a potential danger to anyone around. I also recall how extremely secretive he was at night to all his workings. With stories of people trying to catch, and sneak a view of his secrets with pur his knowing, with no lick in doing do. Though again good explanations. Possable if not answering all the questions, then at least some. And, also demonstrating pictures to such objects, machines he had at his property for use, that most were not awair of. Those demonstrating the strong connection to these devices being of use in his project. So, thank you for sharing.
EdOfTheNorth The mystery is in the application of energy against the coral or stone- that concentration of energy force through the blades is not something we get to see except in something similar to plasma welding, or water welding. To cut the stone, not just a small stone but a massive, several ton stone, perfectly cutting the stone would take a great force, or would it? The interesting part is that people assume Ed did this on his own without getting the epiphany from someone else- how do we know someone else didn’t inform Ed and he just applied it?
Dude, you are AWESOME!!! Since childhood, I've wondered how Ed built it and wondered about all the clues he left behind. I'm so happy to know someone figured it out. Thanks again!!
@@madebyoneman5006 A Book in Every Home = Knowledge in Every Home = Power in Every Home. Was sweet sixteen about how to get power in every home? Was it about a 16 magnet machine? A Book = Knowledge, and Knowledge is Power.
Thanks a lot. A lot. Reasonable, credible. No dwarfs, elves, ufos. What a relief, what a pleasure watching your video. Island of true magick of pure intellect. Thanks once more.
Brilliant deduction and Theory to his process, it makes complete and total sense even though I'm not an electrician and don't understand each value of each device, I have seen and understand each devices properties in necessity and the activity which it provides. This is great concept , the best I've seen so far, and you deserve a great deal more Kudos in regard for your ability to produce this video. And by the way thanks and peace be on your house 🤔👍
Wow!! hats off to Mr. Scott Russell for the most impeccable and well presented documentary of the wonders of Mr. Ed Leedskalnin's Coral Castle. I have always been fascinated by this amazing and phenomenal labor of love. Thank you Mr. Russell - incredible research and presentation. Thank You very very much - Godspeed to You and Yours
The good word says "my people perish for lack of knowledge" your explanation is pure genius. Thank you for the very thorough explanation. We are no longer a generation of "common sense" we have lost this once "common sense knowledge"My grandfather used to move entire barns back in the 30's but died when I was 6 years old and now that knowledge is lost. I live in Florida and will be showing my children this video before taking them down there to visit the museum. Ed constructed something very beautiful with limited tools and technology and under budget. What a great lesson learned.Thank you again!Genius=taking something complex and explaining it simply.Moron=taking something simple and making it complex.
This video was a treat and a pleasure to watch. A deft and concise display of logic and erudition. When you look at it, it makes so much sense with such an elegant ease. Of course the 16 spiked wheel is a rotor, when the magnet stator and the engine generator were found on site. Thank you for putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Even for a layman unsavvy in the field of electric machines, the methodical way you went through all the details allowed me understand the working principle..... I have little pity for mystics and quacks, however clever they may be, but lets assume Ed Leedskalnin had his reasons. Thanks again for the hard work!
This is silly. Where does this show any proof. I wanna see stones lifted, he says he has all the tools. The hick didnt figure it out. Dont be fooled, they had ways of getting running electricity in much easier ways. This is stupid.
You don't knopw your history of the place. I KNOW he lifted the rocks with chains and everything like the movie, BUT the wheel was always the TRUE mystery. THATS ALL. I want to know how he cut the rocks and what the wheel REALLY did. The rest SHOULD be obvious like all the rest of the giant sites, BUT how did they CUT the rocks. Eds wheel is an old DC machine. Does S stand for Stupid you say? He NEVER had utility power everyone knew that but he did have BATTERY power. for lights BUT MAINLY TO CUT ROCKS. NOTHING else. its a stone garden not a engineering museum. Lets try to keep is simple. You know the rest. And I beg to differ my good man it is NOT SILLY. I am hurt.
Thank you I am trying. I have cut rocks now but won't upload the "action" because of future plans for books movies, Documentyaries etc. OH YES I GOT IT NOW GUARANTEED. the rest is nothing more than $$$$$$$ to film capture, quarry, and lift some like the ol boy did 80 years ago. PS the doc is wrong on the batteries. they were not in the boxes. SAWDUST SOAKED IN OIL to preserve the poles was. Simple and I know first hand. I didn't and after 2 years of rain. mine are rotten. go figure. appreciate the comment. Scott R.
I love how everyone who's solved the mystery doesn't cut or lift/move a single block of stone. Spend a year, build one wall, and i'll believe that you solved it. until then, it's all hypothetical.
Also You have to make the wall look like the stone was melted together to where you can’t even fit a piece of paper into the crack then I might believe it is well I’m with you here
Did you not see the prototype tripod and cutting machine the author constructed? Did you even watch the video? That wasn't hypothetical at all. Mystery solved!
J. Stribling wtf are you talking about, huge difference is craftsman ship! You cannot get blocks that flat and smooth from that method. Period, thats the real facts here
Thank you mr.Russell, my step dad was a great man to me, my mom and sister, when he first married my mom he had a sweet job as a safety man with national trucking and had to make business trips to Miami in the 60's, him and mom got hitched in around 67 I think, anyway, he used to tell me about how fabulous Miami was, how that you could go have dinner and be entertained with a man juggling firebrand or wrestling with a big gator, and just lots of things, but one of the things I remember was him telling me about this man who had built his own house by himself out of stones that were massive and you could go and see it - I only clicked because I'm retired and enjoy old school tech stuff of you know what I mean, and I was SO pleasantly surprised when this memory of my step-dad came rushing back - I just want to say thank you so much, the man(my step father) was an absolute blessing to me and I miss him very much, I want to wish you all the best in your endeavors, good health and a long happy fruitful life, as long as you wish, now it's time for a second cup of mud and watch this thing all over again from the start, hailing to you from NE FLA.
We know how he moved the stones, on the back of a truck over the course of a few years from one location to the other ten miles away. People these days can't comprehend it because they want everything instantly done for them by someone else. This was a passion of labour for Edward, who spent a large portion of his life slowly working on the landscaping.
Thanks for the explanations, you really show how much of a mechanical genius Ed was; and to have unraveled how it was all possible, you are a genius yourself. We had a man that retired where I live around the early 20th century who spent about 10 years in retirement digging out a cave complex. He didn't do it for any other reason than passion and to keep in good shape, and he was proud of his work. After he passed away, many legends sprang up about the origin and purpose of the caves, most of which were totally bogus. It's no surprise that the Coral Castle would end up shrouded in myth, anything people don't understand the purpose of ends up with its story told in a mixture of facts and lies.
tom maginnis One has nothing to do with the other. However, much of his knowledge came from masonry, and the Freemasons use the term as a description of sharing their secrets, but it is not true enlightenment.
Very good. the "secrets" were of the celestial arrangements. Whoopdy do right. you obviously DO know your stuff. My 104 grandmother was the grand matron of the local order of Eastern star. YES you are right on. NO building secrets just the letters on the five pointed star.
Thanks, I was wondering if even the masons have forgotten the secrets they once knew, and I think you may have confirmed my suspicion. Another mason I talked to was aware of high level sacred geometry, and we were able to have a conversation based on the trinity and the clover being the center points for much deeper understanding than the flower of life. What I know comes from no order, and I think I remember what I know from previous incarnations. Once you figure out the 7 point star, the rest just falls into place through experimentation.
Two big problems - 1st ) Regardless of your example, the design you suggest does not provide ample force to do anything of the magnitude it would require to work the coral. Fact ) Scientists have commissioned contractors to use whatever heavy machinery they would like to replicate the work and precision - they were unable to do so. 2) The wheel was not free spinning, instead was enclosed within another ring of block shaped machinery and was hand cranked at the very least to get the process rolling (as seen in several photos of Ed and remnants at coral castle) . Another piece that just does not work well with your idea - Ed moved every block of the castle by himself (and a driver who was not allowed to help him) onto a flatbed, and off the flatbed - to an entirely new location. I am quite comfortable saying that had he only been using a pulley system and tripods - the driver would have had no problem identifying how Ed moved the blocks. Instead, he had no idea how Ed did it. While your suggestions do pose as possibilities - unless you can undertake something just as advantageous as Ed has done on your own , with your theory and no help, do not suggest you know how it was done otherwise the only thing you are doing is showing how pompous you really are. And Ed definitely deserves more respect than that. And finally - the 1930's video is hollywood at its finest. If you're telling me that you believe what you see in film then oh boy.. This HAS become deluded.... Ed worked at night - and did not share his secrets in his writings, visitors, nor onlookers. When asked, he wouldn't share it - and almost lost his life as a result of this: which also was the premise of him moving his castle. IF it was a matter of simple mechanics and machinery , I do not think Ed would have had any problem sharing it with the rest of us. Instead of his two books being cryptic; he would have just laid it all out. I'll give credit where credit is due; your suggestions 'sound' convincing - now get out there with your theory, cut some 30 ton coral slabs out of the earth, pulley and stack them and prove it to the world. Otherwise, just another sham.
Have you ever been to the California Science Center? Check out this video of a 40lb 5 year old girl lifting a 3 ton pickup truck. th-cam.com/video/oTImPVHkJkg/w-d-xo.html Nothing mysterious here.
People that will believe secondhand accounts from sources that can't be confirmed seem pompous to me. All these tales of he/she said they saw this or that but never any names.
Well stated and exactly. Just another cover up of Ed's actual abilities...this is NOT scientific proof. I'm quite sure how he did it, and I myself as well as others are now working on real world analysis and replication... :)
I beg to differ. As a mechanical engineer who has worked with electric motor design for decades. As a lover of stone masonary. As an owner of a 16 hp version of the engine shown. Who moves 40 ton machines often using simple rollers. That sheet of steel will slice that limestone like butter. Two engineers. One using engineering to do magic. And one showing it isn't magic. Just sound engineering.
@@randytucker3083 Beg All you Like, you haven't made a 9 ton door that you can push with you little finger that has a hole drilled through its centre with such precision that they have no clue how Ed did it. And couldn't replicate it....and when they tried to 'service' it...after 30 years of trouble free movement...they broke it.
Maybe. Pay attention at about the 10:15 mark for a plausible explanation. If you want to see the experiment demonstrated and the results reproduced, then no, that part did not happen in this video.
Nerdy McNerdlington Thanks for responding. I was hoping to see the duplicated apparatus perform the job since the video is supposed to have cracked the conundrum. I appreciate you pointing out the 10:15 mark because I did miss it before. This video is still a theory of how it was done to me and not the explanation since it wasn't duplicated on film. Thanks again.
There is no way those stones weighed anywhere around 30 tons. They were more like 2.5 tons. The blocks would have to be close to nearly 9 ft. cubes or 27 cubic yards to have that much weight. They look to be closer to 2 cubic yards on the video. It's coral not granite.
You figured it out and it makes complete sense. Nice job man. This guy was ahead of his time for sure. You saved history from being lost. So you have become part of the history of this also ;)
The only people that will find an explanation for anything in THIS video, is someone looking for an explanation(sort of) as to how this machinery was assembled. If one has no knowledge of what is required to actually handle blocks the size of those used in the construction of this monument.or for that matter,. assembling the blocks once they are in the general vicinity of where they are intended to go, they might consider this a AH HA video. What is it that makes some people so driven to explain things, that others, highly knowledgeable/experienced in their particular field, operators, engineers, stonemasons, ironworker, etc. etc.can not explain? The only explanation that I've found for it is FEAR, absolute terror of the unknown. That said, why don't one of you that feels that this video has enlightened you, removed enough of the mystery to build just one of the creations within CORAL CASTLE, DO IT. Make a video of it and post it here on You Tube so those of us not gifted with your acumen, can perhaps understand how Mr. Leedskalnins managed to do this by himself
Outstanding job of figuring it out. I work a short distance from this site and have visited it and bought some of the pamphlets there. I think that this video hits the nail on the head. If only they taught the young people these electrical, leverage and construction ideas nowadays. He figured it out by self educating from books and introspection.
tbh if he could do, any men could probably do. Following his writings and his general understandings, I'm sure one again could form such monolithical structures.
@@Astrostone666 Check out FPV ANGEL here on TH-cam. Go to the video list, there is a man named Roy who is doing TONS of videos regarding Ed Leeskalins works, notes, books, and yes how coral castles machinery actually worked. It's ALOT of watching if anyone truly wants to understand this is a close as it gets.
As a retired School of Engineering person this is an absolutely excellent analysis and presentation of how it was all accomplished by a single person. Archimedes Quote: Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
You know I've seen quite a few zany theories about how this man must have possessed some lost ancient magical knowledge and levitated blocks or had demonic assistance and such... but you sir really demonstrate your mechanical genius here in this video and offer the most feasible scenario yet as to how this set of structures was actually built by one man. Thank you very much for a great video.
And I made this first comment before I even finished the video or read any of the others. Now I'm seeing much the same sentiment from the rest of the public and there's a reason. Very well done.
very interesting. I always wanted to know the secret behind the Coral Castle and how it was built. That was a very good explanation and rendition of how he built his sweet 16 Coral Castle, that he left behind for the World to be in awestruck by at what he left behind for the World to observe!
Absolutely the best Leedskalnin information- documentary I've seen. Most impressive.BYW I knew a guy who worked at CC in the 80s, though he had no clue as to the details you demonstrate. I hope this video is played for guests at CC so they can appreciate what is otherwise not explained.
A lot of people speculate how these things were done. You actually did it. Good work. Great explainations of the tripod erections and central power system. Nice to see someone do the homework and replicate how it was done!
I have to say I love your straight forward naration, calm and steady. The music is nice too, not all that common on youtube vids. I respect the work you did on this video, very nicely laid out in an organized point by point, tons of pictures and a lot of ACTUAL EXPERIMENTATION instead of conjecture! And like some one else commented, no flights of fantasy with aliens n what not. Favorite quote: human illusionment @ 19m 5s, it pretty much sums up other videos on the subject. Thanks for a nice, informative and realistic half hour. Time NOT wasted.
wow, so cool that you figured out, on a practical level, what so many so called 'experts' could not... you deserve our respect, just like Ed does...thank-you
Scott, hello once again! I texted you years ago when having discovered your video on youtube! I just once again wanted to PRAISE your ingenuity and intellect AND perseverance! You single-handedly solved this enigma! What I find amusing is people don't even bother to look at all of the videos and photos of Ed using enormous block and tackle! they do zero research to learn that he was a stone mason who came from a stone mason family! You proved beyond a reasonable doubt how and what all the "gear" was being used for! PERIOD! I remember watching "in search of" with Leonard Nimoy and being irritated by the prospects of "unknown" magical powers creating this work...like "floating" the rocks with his mind power! etc...the true unknown "irritates" me because I want to really know the truth! And you my friend solved the mystery! again! THANK YOU!!!
@@jojolafrite90 yes i dont see even the slightest mention Ed and Tesla knew each other, perhaps professeur essef was not being literal? I think he just meant that what we have lost from Ed was the same knowledge that we have lost from Tesla. Being dismissive can be distinguished from being derogatory. If you have a good analytical mind youre always going to be pissing people off anyway, the swears will just lessen the impact and let people dismiss the truth behind what youre saying.
@@lecinquiemeroimage prove it. Do not claim what's already in the school books that lead us to dead ends!!!! Physics need rewriting !!!!!!!!! History TOOO!!!
Thank you for putting this mystery to bed for me. I have remembered this tale for decades. I understand electronics and everything you presented is factual in your explanations. I am happy to see that technology prevails here.
The time and dedication in this video certainly deserve the number of views it has got in these 4 years. It is true that the guy in this video uses almost the same kind of things they let him see in the old vintage videos and the remaining of the museum, however with the machines he has built in this documentary never in this world he or anybody can build a Coral Castle like Ed did, in fact with those tools from this video he couldn't build even a wooden house. A real mystery solver would be a real cutting on the rock or a real lifting/moving of a 40-ton rock. I agree that was all his opinion of how it could be done not mystery solver at all.
Not to take anything away from Ed by any means, I'm a huge fan, but it's doable without secret methods. I move monstrously huge, heavy things frequently, and I do it alone (and at night usually) because other people get in the way, have a horrible understanding of force, and are a liability. So much easier to do work like this alone if you are so inclined.
Well done, Scott Russel. Your work goes a long way in explaining convincingly the methods used in creating the Coral Castle along with Ed's writings and the many materials and artifacts found on site. Bravo.
No, it doesnt...lol. His 'engineering solution' is all but bunk. How did Ed charge those batteries? Did he put ANY type of power measurement into this? He just 'plugs in the wheel', shows it spinning...and says 'this is how it works'. Yeah well, how many batteries did it take? Did he cut ONE rock with this method? Do you know how many batteries it would take to cut rock in this way? How did Ed charge those batteries? With his tiny 'hit and miss' engine he had (most don't even know he had this). This is extremely inefficient. You would be better off using the mechanical energy from the generator its self to cut the stone. Ed only had ONE cutting device, which is seen at his 'at work' photo. This guys explanation above is all but a distraction from the 'real' technology used. Just like Tesla...they don't want you to know the real stuff.
Honestly I'm blown away by your work and research attention to detail and commitment to parts of this incredible mystery. Just sorting through the electrical parts and all the other info many of the other on here have not come across or have ever seen some of the details and connections presented in this work. You deserve respect just for that alone! Just this documentary is great! Theres still enough mystery to go around but you've added to it in my opinion
+Dmitri Soroka (Metallolomka) It actually sucked me in and when I saw all the misnomers I had to try my shot at it and It came to me. thats all I can say. Thanks Scott R
I appreciated the work you put into this video. It would be useful that have more animated diagrams of what you are attempting to explain. I had a hard time following why these devices were particularly help in Ed performing these tasks.
I seen RFB video as well. It was an awesome video. The guy who showed up.and explained all about it. And had Richie as the lookout. Indiana Jones he called him. LOL.
Have you visited his original homestead? Northeast of its current location. I was given permission to view the land where he originally set up his "castle". The area contains hundreds of metal pipes. A newspaper article in the office gives the clue to how Ed cut the coral. He used water pressure to cut and move the large pieces of coral. There are large square holes in the ground where he had removed the coral. This motorized contraption could not get under the pieces of the coral, so he developed a high pressure water system to undermine the coral. The devices you show are tinker toys and would not stand up to the daily work load that he produced.
@Ebony Hayes ...Without being mean, and just to get you thinking... The Easter Island statutes are just as heavy, and not compact like Ed's blocks. Yet they were moved. There is that video of a man using round stones and levers only, to move 20+ton blocks across his backyard...then lifting them upright. Used a GoPro? camera and invited all his family to watch him prove it could be done.
he used it to generate power for his radio array but no one want to hear what the local seen first hand. you sir did one of the honest takes on ed thank you.
Excellent - the first "normal physics" explanation of Ed's work that I've seen that did not have major holes in it. Your analysis and circuitry all make sense.
I've been to the Coral Castle and live in Fl. One enduring story is that Ed would have these huge stone blocks delivered via truck and would not unload them until the driver left. According to this video, Ed would have had to set up his tripod/block and tackle (?) mechanism over the truck, lift the blocks off, then disassemble the tripod and move the blocks via rolling logs around the site. It's possible, but it sure sounds like a lot of work. Another thing, my understanding is that many of the myths or whatever were started by Ed himself. He would say things like "I figured out how the Egyptians built the pyramids" and so on. Good marketing, I'd say.
The testimony from some of the flatbed truck drivers that moved the massive stones stated that they went around the corner to an area that prevented them from seeing how the blocks were loaded on to the back of the flat bed truck. The real kicker here is that the truck drivers stated that it took Ed but a few minutes to accomplish loading each block onto the back of of flatbed truck. This does not give Ed anywhere near enough time to assemble and disassemble a massive tripod over the back of a flatbed truck of which would take hours if not possibly days. As we can see from this video simply erecting a tripod made out of trees is a massive undertaking. There is simply not enough time during the loading process of the block to assemble a tripod crane over the back of the truck and then disassemble it and accomplish that in just a few minutes. This video completely and absolutely overlooks this very simple fact.
Brilliant!!! I bet he read a lot of Tesla's books! I have to admit, your explanation has been the best ever " No Brainer!" Now we can also see how the Pyramids were done......who says they did not figure out magnetic energy, or steam.....the Romans had steam baths and fountains fed by the gravity of water from the downward slope of water off the mountains. I watched a scientist show a long lost self made stone pipeline at Machu Pichu that ran several miles to keep water flowing through out each home, the external fountains for plants and wildlife and this water fed to a high mountain top was fed from another mountain along this stone cut groove all perfectly aligned and with just enough flow rate to not cause pressure damage along the way or at the end. Nobody knew of this until this one man figured it out that it had been overgrown out of sight.
Well put together! Ed was a genius “junkyard” engineer! I keep thinking even the great pyramids were built the same way! People using tools to make big work small! You know, if you listen to a large steam or oil or hit and mis engine you realize where the industrial music from the 80s came from!
Thomas Edison made the first recording of magnetic noise industrial machinery being the sound, this was truly said to be the inspiration for early 80's industrial music♥️
I've been to Coral Castle and marveled at the construction performed by one man! you have done an amazing job of recreating the technology and methods used!
great work explaining coral castles mysteries. amazing, the things that people could get done before we all started sitting around watching tv and staring at the internet.
Seems to me quite plausible. The idea of using a band/cable saw makes a lot of sense. Add in some moisture to keep the band/cable cool and the coral rock a bit soft/brittle and I like it. If you notice the coral is quite porous, unlike granite and other harder stone. I have found some coral to be quite hard but not as hard as many stones are. Excellent presentations. I'm going to give it a big thumbs up.
Interesting, and entirely plausible, it makes a pleasant change from the usual levitation/aliens (magic) nonsense normally put out on TH-cam. Well done.
+Andrew Holdaway I know right? Thank you much for that. you have no idea how much crap I get though. I don't know anything cause vibration is the key, or sound will levitate rocks. I just have to duck.
+Made by one man Wow..is this even you? I was gonna say how fascinating and thought provoking this was....and then " I know right"? In any case, Thank You for posting. A highly entertaining and educational video . The mechanics and physics were excellently described and kept my attention throughout. In any case, Thx for posting and would like to see more~
Thanks. I am sorry your post didn't get to me till now. I though we conversed but sometime you tube drops things. I Don't delete comments. someone else does behind the curtains. (i think) Scott R.
WOW! this was the BEST video explanation by far!! Amazing that you actually re-did almost all of Ed's inventions and set up. That is some Major Dedication! Can you please do a video on Explaining Ed's "book in every home" and his"Magnetic theory book" I think you might be the only person to explain it clearly and "accurately". Thank you!
Thanks Much. I HAVE read both book a number of times each. I have also had strange "parallels" as many others have had with the girls, boys etc. and magnetic universal potential space/time correlations. As for Magnetic current I have actually done the calculations with declination and the change in the earth magnetic field with regards to NASA's actual modern measurement of the shifting North and South poles. Also Ed discoveries could be related to maxwell and others so on that?::::::::::: Someday I will write a book and there will be a "sub appendix" for the "potentially enlightened" open minded folks including leyline theory, anagrams of alien orientation, and a few "contraversial" spiritual subjects and commentary etc. That will probably be about the book in every home.
@@madebyoneman5006 I had the chance to visit the castle one time myself - you have put all mystery in my mind to rest! Amazing work and dedication sir! You're a hard-working man.
You have my attention but I would have to go back and read about the situations where he did something extraordinary in a short time when people were listening and did not hear any noises, etc to indicate he was doing things that used the kinds of energy you are describing. Another point is that the men at that time would have been familiar with the things you are describing and if he could have done them they would have known it. I think that he did do things with the equipment he had but I also think he did something more either with that stuff or other stuff that related to magnets. I volunteered at UFO and free energy conferences for 20 years and I saw some amazing things. A thing on a carburator that ran a car idling for 8 hours a day of the event, and the exhaust pipe was ice cold. A device made of round magnets that copied the 'wedding cake saucer ' that Billy Meier in switzerland photographed, and when the guy stood it up it began to rotate wildly on only the power from the magnets. And I have seen videos where things Ed had were moved to make a magnetic change and did something I forget, but it was impressive. I agree with other commentors that although impressive, you theories have not shown they can do the moving of the coral slabs, and if they could as you say, five men could not do it in the time he did things. It is like the Japanese team that moved a huge block by ropes, but they never got it up to anyplace that showed it could be done and was an explanation for how the pyramid was built. I also have videos where Yul Brown barehanded with regular glasses and smoking a cigarette welded glass to tungsten, bricks to steel, etc with browns gas. Having worked as a fitter to a welder who cut 35 inch steel pipes, I know a bit about how welding does and does not work, and abiut how much one or two people can do when things are very heavy, etc I think he could have done what you say but in months rather than hours, and if he did the people who tried to see how he did things would have heard motors and seen lights, etc,
Great reply. I've been to Coral Castle several times. Almost everything in this video's on point, except I don't remember seeing a reciprocation engine or a locomotion attachment or any heavy machinery. I think he was using the generator to do a couple more things that's missing in this video
Absolutely astounding analysis of the whole coral castle "mystery"! Thank you very much! It demonstrates tremendous undertaking by an ambitious and brilliant individual!
After watching this clip, I was furious and felt compelled to voice my utter disapproval in the comments portion area section. You should be ashamed of yourself for uploading this clip. Where do you get off making a clip that poses a hypothesis and back it up with sane, credible evidence? This is TH-cam! Hello!? Since when did it become acceptable to clearly use the scientific method properly on TH-cam? Hey? You know, I've watched a lot of crap on TH-cam in my time. It gives me great joy to make fun of their ridiculous claims and point out any glaringly obvious flaws to them. How dare you take that away from me. How do you sleep at night? If you wake feeling tired, with aching muscles after a night tossing and turning, perhaps a new mattress is what you need. I get you good price for mattress. You want? Yes? Only Three fitty. Karma dude. You make a valid rational clip and back up your theory properly, I have no choice but to use my words to make you smile at least, at best, you will cry. At least I have hope. Peace. Exceptional clip. Well researched and executed properly. Do you have any frikkin idea just how rare you are on TH-cam?
Bravo! Any proper TH-cam video requires a few basic things: 1. A bad techno stock music soundtrack. 2. A robot voice narration, or inane captions without narration. 3. A lot of smug, smirking, marijuana-induced paranoia from the video's creator about being smarter than "mainstream science", "Illuminati", "big government", and "the military-industrial complex", mixed with.... 4. A lot of goofy New-Age pseudo-science and/or magical woo, preferably involving aliens, crystals, chi, and pyramid-power.
@Duchess Of Ravenhall. Talents? I love when a stranger uses that word. Why... thank you. Incidentally, I am blushing, the blush of the modestly flattered. How did I miss seeing this comment?
@Pietyr Ayday. Only saw this for the first time today. I love it! You hit the nail on the head. Nine Inch Nails preferably. I love that frikkin group! NIN is the way to my heart, both literally and figuratively.
I guess if ur a lazy @$$ roofer who works two hours a day and then goes for a beer or an entitled finger pointer with a degree in No Practical Experience, then,yeah, it might not get done. But there are plenty of people who can work smart AND hard. If this is all still a mystery to you after watching this video, you failed to understand what you saw. He comes from STONE MASONS! He probably knew more about working stone than us by the age of 5. And this is EXACTLY how big stones have always been moved and built with. Simple mechanical physics. Planes, levers, pulleys, wheels. Granted that the Egyptian deeds we're a magnitude larger they would probably have needed to construct wooden cranes that could swivel and be broken down for mobility. Only someone with a great fear of doing actual labor would fail to understand how this is all inevitably the only way to accomplish this kind of building. It's not even really hard work. It would just take dedication and persistence and trade education. He took what he could from the current science of the day and improved on a trade that is as old as the pyramids
@@justincase5032 Yeah exactly! Have you seen the guy who figured out he could move giant blocks of concrete by placing pebbles under them to get them to move smoothly? It's incredible. All the simplicities of smart thinking and basic magnetism and most people can't comprehend the simplicity of it all and either conclude it's BS because it's not complicated enough or they stick to their alien stories lol the truth is boring.

Mr.Russell, fabulous video! Like you I was born in 1961, so our experiences on a large scale are similar. Without getting into a diatribe on the failings of our educational systems the past 40 years I’d like to commend you on your use of language to impress or educate. Early in the video you spoke of Ed’s appetite to read. Reading and therefore knowledge is paramount to understanding the world around us or at least the world in which we place ourselves. Thank you.
Awesome work! You figured out almost everything about Ed and his ingenious methods of cutting his huge corral blocks. But how did he lift those heavy blocks is the big question? A wooden tripod? Pulleys lifting tons of stone? Ed said he discovered the secrets of ancient Egyptians. If it was all pulleys lifting the large stones why be so secretive about your building techniques?
he was simply saying, he thinks the Egyptians used his methods but scaled up to thousands of men, if he could do this all himself imagine what 5,000 workers could do.
when loading the truck Ed would tell the driver to go behind the bushes while he loaded the big rocks on the truck.... I think there is more to this story than has been discussed Sorry Ed = 1 US = 0
when he moved big parts of coral castle by himself on the rental truck-driver left only for 25 min. for short lunch,but his big truck was all ready fully loaded for relocation
if your erect a tower as many times as he did you get quicker at it. My dad in the early 60s pulled the tubing string and rod string from an oil well he owned using the triple beam method. Lots of people did this. See the huge trees they loaded on the wagons? Not rocket science.
This video shows the result of a thorough investigation, and explains in a very clear way the technology Leedskalnin almost certainly used to build Coral Castle singlehandedly. I sent it to a friend who is an experienced electrical engineer and a senior program manager with a major defense contractor, and he too found the conclusions completely plausible. I'm very glad to have found your channel, and am now a subscriber.
So true, and I've never even heard of a plausible explanation from anyone, till now. Thanks...

@@jerri5884 for 9 years we rediscovered this tek and are not using it? I got questions.
I grew up in Florida and always thought about this place. I knew it was just physics and not magic. In fact, that is what got me interested in studying physics more. Some things he mentioned here I used in my generators for living off the grid for 60 years, like making the power source work at maximum output so there is no idling.
This guy spent a lot of time in the museum studying everything and putting it together. It took a genius to put all the bits of knowledge together to build the coral castle and another genius to figure out how he did it.
Great video.
YOU are impressive yourself. I am planning on moving to an area where many people live off the grid. I won't be totally off the grid, but there are things I wish I knew and understood about solar, wind power, and storing the energy in batteries.
Not bad for a guy with a 3 grade education. I believe he not only built it once but after being mugged he packed up and moved the castle to where it is now. While he did have tuberculosis he did not die from it. He died of starvation.

Dude, best explanation I’ve ever seen of coral castle technology. This is a masterclass in understanding Ed Leedskalnin and how to do very impressive feats with minimal resources
BS and absolute joke. He didn’t demonstrate nothing!
@@RUS38 What didn't he demonstrate?
@@ww-pw6di how he cuts at least a couple of blocks of limestone out of the ground, 10 ton and under, (not even asking for 30tons) moves and positions them into place using his equipment.
Scott! Damn glad to see this masterpiece is still up and running!! It should NEVER be taken down!!! Still impressed with what you have done SINGLEHANDEDLY!!! You're still my hero! Debunked all the "stories" and 'In Search Of" television show!! Again GREAT JOB!!!
Watching this was NOT a waste of time. It's the best explanation of the coral castle I've ever seen. Despite what the haters in the comments say, this was fascinating and informative and I've never seen a better explanation of the technology used anywhere online. Great work to the video creator.
So old Ed had more going on in his head than we knew. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wow I cannot believe I stumbled on this 7 years later. I went there and that place is beyond amazing. Thank you for this.
I was born in 1960 and I've seen many documentaries about the Coral Castle.Nothing comes close to your comprehensive explanations....thanks man:-)

@@maxrodgers5702 what in the video shows lifting 60,000lb+ stones stacked into 1/1000th of inch by a hundred pound man. It would take multiple cranes to attempt to lift some of the stones. Just lifting it would a engineering challenge. Now stack them where a sheet of paper can't even begin to go through. 1/1000th of inch. Any stone workers today. Stacking stones to that tolerance.
@@JamesSmith-lt5zz So Ed was either a midget, or emaciated?

Who on earth are "they"?
Unless you can be specific (you must know since you claim to know what "they" think), your ramblings doesn't make any sense.
I went there with my wife probably 5 years or so ago, they act like they don't know anything. You just showed me 1000x the information than the tour guide did. The place is mesmerizing. Absolutely beautiful. The door doesn't move anymore because they tried to lube it and used something that caused more harm than good. Well, it was either the door or a huge turntable stone thing that you used to be able to s[in with your pinky finger? Don't recall now? Anyway, thank you for your awesome ingenious work to show us what the people who get paid to show couldn't.
I've lived in Homestead for 50+ years and visited Coral Castle several times. A friend of mine was a tour guide there some years ago. When we were kids we used to explore the grounds behind the place and marvel at some of the awesome blocks there. This video really explains things that we always wondered about, thank you. Ironic, now in 2024 I still live about 2 miles from Coral Castle. I think it's time to revisit.
Grew up in Key West, saw the coral castle on a tv show and bugged my parents to take me, went there when I was about 12 in 1980 and I bought his little books which I still have thinking I could learn his secrets. You have done an incredible job figuring this out. Thank you.
This is magnificent. Let the skeptics howl all they want - no-one has ever even come close to recreating it, but you did it. You created a video walkthrough showing every stage successfully. This needs to be a legitimate documentary.
The haters don't like it because it doesn't involve mysticism, aliens, or sorcery. You broke their bubble. Outstanding!
With enough materials, a small source of power, some common sense automation, and sheer diligence...
...a man can beguile the minds of generations, with something no more complicated than a paperclip.

hahahahahahahaha
I wish this video has 30m views! I shared this in my FakeBook feed, writing, “When I was a kid In Search Of had an episode on the Coral Castle, marveling how one man could cut lift and build his castle and inferring that he had tapped into the same mystic knowledge of the Egyptian pyramid builders. I was fascinated. Roll forward 45 years and I stumbled upon the following video. It. Is. Awesome!”
Considering my siblings are engineers and I’m a mechanic, I fully understood your explanation but marvel at both its creation and your puzzling out how it works. Once explained, duh! And while I first saw it and thought amateur, the clover leafs I didn’t get. Very, very cool!
This is probably the finest example of "research archeology" I have ever seen. This man needs to be commended and recognized for his achievements in decoding the mystery's of Coral Castle. This a a stellar achievement.
Billy Piazza oh really. and how does a fourth grade man with no vocational training on mechanical or masonery has carved it.And what is he purpose of making the telescope and align it with truenorth. And if it is that easy, why can't anybody be able to recreate such thing ever again
My friend. The video says that his father and grandfather were stone masons. He was also an experienced rigger. Mr. Russel also clearly showed how the cutting process occurred and how the flywheel was implanted. The only reason he didn't demonstrate how to cut the actual coral was due to the fact that there isn't any in Vermont. However, , I am afraid, the purpose of pointing a telescope at a star, was taken to the grave with Mr. Leedskalnin.
Yes, but a doc's son does not meccesarily bcms or knws aby anatmy. In d sm wy if his fthr nd frfthr r masons dat dsnt necessarily means dat he was equipped with masonry as well. And also he was a 4th grader and not eligible to rven attain in sort of vocation in this trade. Billy coral are quiet brittle and should be chipped wid a specific technique to prvnt thm frm breakin. How he'll be able to chip it?
Humm, that is an interesting question Sumeet. You are wondering how he was able to form those interesting shapes? I'll do a little research and get back to you with an answer my friend. It is nice to engage you in scientific discourse. I'm guessing you are from India. Greetings from America Mr. Ghai.
Thank billy, and i am sorry if i'll sounds abit offensive
I've marveled at the mystery since my parents took me to the coral castle as a child. You've explained it in very basic terms.
Thank you isn't sufficient enough for the work and tyerless effort you have done to prove your point about the ingeniousness of the devices and invention used in the construction of the coral castle. The world owes you much more than that. Magnificent work. You deserve a Pulitzer prize.
you left out a couple points. First, Ed stated he knew how to find the exact center balance fulcrum) of a stone, no matter the size or shape. That was required to be able to move the stones. Second, Ed moved the castle ten miles from Florida city to Homestead, a distance of ten miles, in a 3 yr time frame. Third, Ed clearly stated many times he used reverse magnetism to defy gravity. Fourth, Ed weighed about 120 lbs and worked alone because he refused to divulge to anyone the secret of how to move the stones. You stated you nearly completed a model of Eds machine. I suggest you finish the model, then move a stone 10 miles by yourself. You have only explained how to raise the stone from the ground. something we already knew. And you stated how you believe the machine works but never explained at which point the machine reverses the magnetic field to cause an anti gravity effect on the stone. So basically, we are back where we started. We don't really know how the machine works. KNOWING where electricity moves is the easy part, understanding the effects, exact parameters of the voltage, amps, power (watts) and the magnetic field created is still undetermined.
I knew indeed there would be no information here. starts out: I was was born very young... rocks are heavy...
Thankfully your comment spared me from the rest.
There is a very rare video of Ed actually lifting and moving stones using tripod and pulley system with chains rolling on top of smaller logs on top of our logs. He also loaded the trucks that moved the stones 10 miles away and then unloaded them. He didn't physically move the stones by his own hands the way you might think.
I dont know about all that but I can tell you he did not work alone th-cam.com/video/fqb3TNWxgDU/w-d-xo.html
@@babayega_ He didn't let people see him work, so why would you expect that him doing something on film is *the* method he used. Personally, if someone wanted to film me while I work on a secret of mine, I'd make it look like like I'm working the hard way as to trick people.
During the tour they said he had a team of people help him showed photos ...idk what's true don't care it's something else
Thanks for making this video. My family has been in Miami since 1919. I was always unhappy at the recent bizarre theories people used to attribute how Ed was able to build his stoneworks. Many of them claim he used unknown magical and mysterious forces that normal humans were incapable of. The truth was he was a wonderful stonemason and engineer. He did not have alien help, he had a lot of intelligence and grit and gumption and the desire to create that is in most of us. Ed should be held as an example of what we can all do when inspired, not portrayed as some mystical person who had access to otherworldly nonhuman resources. I think the creator of this video showed a similar amount of ingenuity and desire to create as much as Ed. Thanks a lot for making and sharing and inspiring.
So it comes down to either aliens or what this video says? Case solved then, its all here, 100 percent.
yea i went to visit because of everything i saw online but now i understand what it is and the tour certainly left no doubt about the museum :) i plan to go back soon and do the tour properly
Robb's Homemade Life b
Earlier days when there is no technology people used to say God did it. Because it is beyond their knowledge. Nowadays, they says it aliens done it. They do not understand the human possibilities and defame it by taking name of aliens.
Robb's Homemade Life
Hey Rob !
I love the way you laid that out! There’s there real truth on how us humans can have people to look up too!
Congrats on a very well made and informative video! I have often wondered if what they said about him was true, but instead of conjecture, you seem to have put the pieces together nicely. I know the amazing amount of effort and time this must have taken for little reward except knowledge, which is its own reward, but it is important to share this knowledge for future generations, I hope to see a book from you, I will buy it.
Me thinks you missed the entire mystery of the mystery. Cutting the stone is nothing. It can as you admit, be cut with a hand saw. This coral limestone is a soft material which can be cut and shaped with ease. All it requires is time and energy.
Lifting the blocks is the mystery because they are so heavy. Stacking them only increases the mystery.
What do you do with the story of Ed moving one of his creations to another site via a wagon. How did he get the stones up on the wagon. And more importantly, how did he remove the stones from the wagon and stack them at the new site without his cutting contraption or his tripods, in the middle of the night without his battery powered lights and all of this in the course of less than 6 hours? That story has been verified and proven to be true.
Ed also said that he understood how the Egyptians built the pyramids by utilizing what he re-discovered. And he said that he refused to share his discovery because he feared what mankind would do with it. Building a DC (pulse) generator and utilizing solenoids to operate jack hammers was far from anything to be feared because that technology was already widely used. However Ed's generator and his primitive solenoids do show us that there is great power in magnetism if you can harness it.
The mystery is magnetism. Ed speaks of that all through his writings. The mystery of the mystery is how to capture the earth's natural magnetism which affects everything on earth, even gravity. And that is what takes us to Ed's repeated inferences to time, longitudes, latitudes and materials, which is what we still don't understand to this day. You have figured out one of Ed's experiments but you neglect the mystery of the mystery.
He used the Earth's mag to move them and it deals with the cone shaped rocks he had and there's more to it water is one .
You make some very good points Ed, I tend to agree with you.
There is more mystery here.
Also Thomas is right... I heard a theory where water plays a part in the cutting, in an uncommon way.
The pond /tub at the site is said to be used to create a kind of ionicly charged water which is ready after the water has evaporated to the second inner cut-out in the pond/well. Then used to cause the stone to cleave apaet by dripping it along the cut line. As I said 'uncommon'.
If modern-day engineers, when trying to improve the 10 tonne door (which used to open with just a push of one finger), were only able to only ruin it all together... then it points to the use of an uncommon (miss-understood) force.
Also can you imagine how much attention all those lights running, and having a truck engine running all night would attract, not to mention the added sound of the saws and solinoids going at the same time.
I admire your mind and your video but I believe there's more to it personally.
He fracked the inside of the coral then pumped air into it and capped the blocks. They used water to float them.... I'm pulling this out of my ass, but that's how I would do it.
Nice video. Nice explanations. Though there are still many unanswered questions. Such as an uneducated man able to have a greater engineering understanding than the mechanical, electrical, engineers and physicists with a Ph.D. around the world? And, doing so from only reading books in the neighborhood public library? How could he afford to pay for all those working batteries, mechanical devices the were specially made with tools and methods he did not have access to or the most likely ability of resources and financal means to make or buy these specialize devices you arexmentioning?
Part of me is, on a side note, thinking if we could just look at the record of all the books he had checked out at the library, read this book, would at least give us the background of how he was able to figure out the knowledge he was able to learn and figure out himself.
I will give it to you, these are nice explanations to how he may possibly have built his castles. Though I also have to agree with the person here questions as well.
1) That is was stated by Ed that it would 3xplain how the Egyptians built the pyramids.
2) Why he was concerned that if the world should have such knowledge.
3) And, if I recall correctly how the earth's own lay lines, magnetic energy and such was what allowed him to do so.
4) I am also courious how he was able to move 30 ton stones? Yes a cart will make the moving of heavy objects easier. Though anyone who has used a wheelbarrow or a hand pulling cart knows, the more weight put in these carrying devices, the more difficult it will be to move. That is even if he had the cart sturdy enough to do such moving repeatedly over the years use.
There is also that giant stone door he made that was so perfectly balanced on its center axis at the top and bottom that a person could open and close the spinning doorxwoth their finger, and little effort in doing so. Also feeling confident when no matter how many times opening and closing, that it would not fall off its axis, and be a potential danger to anyone around.
I also recall how extremely secretive he was at night to all his workings. With stories of people trying to catch, and sneak a view of his secrets with pur his knowing, with no lick in doing do.
Though again good explanations. Possable if not answering all the questions, then at least some. And, also demonstrating pictures to such objects, machines he had at his property for use, that most were not awair of. Those demonstrating the strong connection to these devices being of use in his project.
So, thank you for sharing.
EdOfTheNorth The mystery is in the application of energy against the coral or stone- that concentration of energy force through the blades is not something we get to see except in something similar to plasma welding, or water welding. To cut the stone, not just a small stone but a massive, several ton stone, perfectly cutting the stone would take a great force, or would it? The interesting part is that people assume Ed did this on his own without getting the epiphany from someone else- how do we know someone else didn’t inform Ed and he just applied it?
This is THE VERY BEST documentary I have seen on Mr. Leedskalnin and his work. Thank You.
Dude, you are AWESOME!!! Since childhood, I've wondered how Ed built it and wondered about all the clues he left behind. I'm so happy to know someone figured it out. Thanks again!!
Had to. its too much work and insulting the guy to say it was magic science unrevealed.
@@madebyoneman5006 A Book in Every Home = Knowledge in Every Home = Power in Every Home.
Was sweet sixteen about how to get power in every home? Was it about a 16 magnet machine?
A Book = Knowledge, and Knowledge is Power.
Best and most accurate divination of Eds Coral Castle I have ever seen. Thanks.
Thanks a lot. A lot. Reasonable, credible. No dwarfs, elves, ufos. What a relief, what a pleasure watching your video. Island of true magick of pure intellect. Thanks once more.
Brilliant deduction and Theory to his process, it makes complete and total sense even though I'm not an electrician and don't understand each value of each device, I have seen and understand each devices properties in necessity and the activity which it provides. This is great concept , the best I've seen so far, and you deserve a great deal more Kudos in regard for your ability to produce this video. And by the way thanks and peace be on your house 🤔👍
Wow!! hats off to Mr. Scott Russell for the most impeccable and well presented documentary of the wonders of Mr. Ed Leedskalnin's Coral Castle. I have always been fascinated by this amazing and phenomenal labor of love. Thank you Mr. Russell - incredible research and presentation. Thank You very very much -
Godspeed to You and Yours
+TRISMAJISTOS thank you that is greatly appreciated.
The good word says "my people perish for lack of knowledge" your explanation is pure genius. Thank you for the very thorough explanation. We are no longer a generation of "common sense" we have lost this once "common sense knowledge"My grandfather used to move entire barns back in the 30's but died when I was 6 years old and now that knowledge is lost. I live in Florida and will be showing my children this video before taking them down there to visit the museum. Ed constructed something very beautiful with limited tools and technology and under budget. What a great lesson learned.Thank you again!Genius=taking something complex and explaining it simply.Moron=taking something simple and making it complex.
This video was a treat and a pleasure to watch. A deft and concise display of logic and erudition. When you look at it, it makes so much sense with such an elegant ease. Of course the 16 spiked wheel is a rotor, when the magnet stator and the engine generator were found on site. Thank you for putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Even for a layman unsavvy in the field of electric machines, the methodical way you went through all the details allowed me understand the working principle..... I have little pity for mystics and quacks, however clever they may be, but lets assume Ed Leedskalnin had his reasons. Thanks again for the hard work!
This is silly. Where does this show any proof. I wanna see stones lifted, he says he has all the tools. The hick didnt figure it out. Dont be fooled, they had ways of getting running electricity in much easier ways. This is stupid.
it ok if you prefer the magical explanation
You don't knopw your history of the place. I KNOW he lifted the rocks with chains and everything like the movie, BUT the wheel was always the TRUE mystery. THATS ALL. I want to know how he cut the rocks and what the wheel REALLY did. The rest SHOULD be obvious like all the rest of the giant sites, BUT how did they CUT the rocks. Eds wheel is an old DC machine.
Does S stand for Stupid you say? He NEVER had utility power everyone knew that but he did have BATTERY power. for lights BUT MAINLY TO CUT ROCKS. NOTHING else. its a stone garden not a engineering museum. Lets try to keep is simple. You know the rest. And I beg to differ my good man it is NOT SILLY. I am hurt.
Thank you I am trying. I have cut rocks now but won't upload the "action" because of future plans for books movies, Documentyaries etc. OH YES I GOT IT NOW GUARANTEED. the rest is nothing more than $$$$$$$ to film capture, quarry, and lift some like the ol boy did 80 years ago.
PS the doc is wrong on the batteries. they were not in the boxes. SAWDUST SOAKED IN OIL to preserve the poles was. Simple and I know first hand. I didn't and after 2 years of rain. mine are rotten. go figure. appreciate the comment. Scott R.
Thank you for figuring all these things out for everyone’s benefit. It’s obvious that you put a lot of time, effort and thought into this
Without a shadow of doubt this is the most comprehensive study on Ed’s work, you should be commended for this great work!
Lovely story, a simple engineer with impeccable brilliance. Engineer 1, Illuminati 0...
I love how everyone who's solved the mystery doesn't cut or lift/move a single block of stone.
Spend a year, build one wall, and i'll believe that you solved it. until then, it's all hypothetical.
Also You have to make the wall look like the stone was melted together to where you can’t even fit a piece of paper into the crack then I might believe it is well I’m with you here
Did you not see the prototype tripod and cutting machine the author constructed? Did you even watch the video? That wasn't hypothetical at all. Mystery solved!
So what was the power source for the building of the Pyramids, moving huge rocks, cutting them and completing them so quickly?
J. Stribling wtf are you talking about, huge difference is craftsman ship! You cannot get blocks that flat and smooth from that method. Period, thats the real facts here
ZEN CAPTUREALL ON SUICIDE WATCH
Science and logic win again.
Thank you mr.Russell, my step dad was a great man to me, my mom and sister, when he first married my mom he had a sweet job as a safety man with national trucking and had to make business trips to Miami in the 60's, him and mom got hitched in around 67 I think, anyway, he used to tell me about how fabulous Miami was, how that you could go have dinner and be entertained with a man juggling firebrand or wrestling with a big gator, and just lots of things, but one of the things I remember was him telling me about this man who had built his own house by himself out of stones that were massive and you could go and see it - I only clicked because I'm retired and enjoy old school tech stuff of you know what I mean, and I was SO pleasantly surprised when this memory of my step-dad came rushing back - I just want to say thank you so much, the man(my step father) was an absolute blessing to me and I miss him very much, I want to wish you all the best in your endeavors, good health and a long happy fruitful life, as long as you wish, now it's time for a second cup of mud and watch this thing all over again from the start, hailing to you from NE FLA.
How he cut the stone was never what really intrigued people, it was how the hell did he move them.
Bingo.
100%
TELEKINESIS
We know how he moved the stones, on the back of a truck over the course of a few years from one location to the other ten miles away.
People these days can't comprehend it because they want everything instantly done for them by someone else. This was a passion of labour for Edward, who spent a large portion of his life slowly working on the landscaping.
@@firstnamelastname-oy7es
But didn’t they say that some of the stones were as heavy as 30 tons? How does a personal truck hall 30 tons?
Congrats! My dad always figured that fellow was just a hard working mechanical genius. Seems like you have proved that. And, it seems you are as well!
Thank you. I am just giving my best shot. and I heard the target go tink from a distance.Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for working out how Ed did all this and documenting it.
Some deny my "getting close" but I know I am. THANKS
Impressive workmanship. We have lost so much. With this ,have regained somewhat. Thank you. 🙏🕊
Thanks for the explanations, you really show how much of a mechanical genius Ed was; and to have unraveled how it was all possible, you are a genius yourself. We had a man that retired where I live around the early 20th century who spent about 10 years in retirement digging out a cave complex. He didn't do it for any other reason than passion and to keep in good shape, and he was proud of his work. After he passed away, many legends sprang up about the origin and purpose of the caves, most of which were totally bogus. It's no surprise that the Coral Castle would end up shrouded in myth, anything people don't understand the purpose of ends up with its story told in a mixture of facts and lies.
tom maginnis One has nothing to do with the other. However, much of his knowledge came from masonry, and the Freemasons use the term as a description of sharing their secrets, but it is not true enlightenment.
Very good. the "secrets" were of the celestial arrangements. Whoopdy do right. you obviously DO know your stuff. My 104 grandmother was the grand matron of the local order of Eastern star. YES you are right on. NO building secrets just the letters on the five pointed star.
isnt YTube the source of great accurate knowledge? @$%@#%^$@&
Thanks, I was wondering if even the masons have forgotten the secrets they once knew, and I think you may have confirmed my suspicion. Another mason I talked to was aware of high level sacred geometry, and we were able to have a conversation based on the trinity and the clover being the center points for much deeper understanding than the flower of life. What I know comes from no order, and I think I remember what I know from previous incarnations. Once you figure out the 7 point star, the rest just falls into place through experimentation.
Made by one man Yes
Two big problems - 1st ) Regardless of your example, the design you suggest does not provide ample force to do anything of the magnitude it would require to work the coral. Fact ) Scientists have commissioned contractors to use whatever heavy machinery they would like to replicate the work and precision - they were unable to do so. 2) The wheel was not free spinning, instead was enclosed within another ring of block shaped machinery and was hand cranked at the very least to get the process rolling (as seen in several photos of Ed and remnants at coral castle) . Another piece that just does not work well with your idea - Ed moved every block of the castle by himself (and a driver who was not allowed to help him) onto a flatbed, and off the flatbed - to an entirely new location. I am quite comfortable saying that had he only been using a pulley system and tripods - the driver would have had no problem identifying how Ed moved the blocks. Instead, he had no idea how Ed did it. While your suggestions do pose as possibilities - unless you can undertake something just as advantageous as Ed has done on your own , with your theory and no help, do not suggest you know how it was done otherwise the only thing you are doing is showing how pompous you really are. And Ed definitely deserves more respect than that.
And finally - the 1930's video is hollywood at its finest. If you're telling me that you believe what you see in film then oh boy.. This HAS become deluded.... Ed worked at night - and did not share his secrets in his writings, visitors, nor onlookers. When asked, he wouldn't share it - and almost lost his life as a result of this: which also was the premise of him moving his castle. IF it was a matter of simple mechanics and machinery , I do not think Ed would have had any problem sharing it with the rest of us. Instead of his two books being cryptic; he would have just laid it all out. I'll give credit where credit is due; your suggestions 'sound' convincing - now get out there with your theory, cut some 30 ton coral slabs out of the earth, pulley and stack them and prove it to the world. Otherwise, just another sham.
Have you ever been to the California Science Center? Check out this video of a 40lb 5 year old girl lifting a 3 ton pickup truck.

Nothing mysterious here.
People that will believe secondhand accounts from sources that can't be confirmed seem pompous to me. All these tales of he/she said they saw this or that but never any names.
Well stated and exactly. Just another cover up of Ed's actual abilities...this is NOT scientific proof. I'm quite sure how he did it, and I myself as well as others are now working on real world analysis and replication... :)
I beg to differ. As a mechanical engineer who has worked with electric motor design for decades. As a lover of stone masonary. As an owner of a 16 hp version of the engine shown. Who moves 40 ton machines often using simple rollers. That sheet of steel will slice that limestone like butter. Two engineers. One using engineering to do magic. And one showing it isn't magic. Just sound engineering.
@@randytucker3083 Beg All you Like, you haven't made a 9 ton door that you can push with you little finger that has a hole drilled through its centre with such precision that they have no clue how Ed did it. And couldn't replicate it....and when they tried to 'service' it...after 30 years of trouble free movement...they broke it.
Did I miss the part where a 30 ton stone was lifted in this video?
Maybe. Pay attention at about the 10:15 mark for a plausible explanation. If you want to see the experiment demonstrated and the results reproduced, then no, that part did not happen in this video.
Nerdy McNerdlington Thanks for responding. I was hoping to see the duplicated apparatus perform the job since the video is supposed to have cracked the conundrum. I appreciate you pointing out the 10:15 mark because I did miss it before. This video is still a theory of how it was done to me and not the explanation since it wasn't duplicated on film. Thanks again.
:)
I miss that part to.If I had to use this saw to cut all this coral I would shit.Ed varyed or shielded the field of gravity.
There is no way those stones weighed anywhere around 30 tons. They were more like 2.5 tons. The blocks would have to be close to nearly 9 ft. cubes or 27 cubic yards to have that much weight. They look to be closer to 2 cubic yards on the video. It's coral not granite.
Great job at figuring out his setup and then explaining how it all worked. Amazing work.
You figured it out and it makes complete sense. Nice job man. This guy was ahead of his time for sure. You saved history from being lost. So you have become part of the history of this also ;)
So we still dont know how it was done.
The only people that will find an explanation for anything in THIS video, is someone looking for an explanation(sort of) as to how this machinery was assembled. If one has no knowledge of what is required to actually handle blocks the size of those used in the construction of this monument.or for that matter,. assembling the blocks once they are in the general vicinity of where they are intended to go, they might consider this a AH HA video. What is it that makes some people so driven to explain things, that others, highly knowledgeable/experienced in their particular field, operators, engineers, stonemasons, ironworker, etc. etc.can not explain? The only explanation that I've found for it is FEAR, absolute terror of the unknown. That said, why don't one of you that feels that this video has enlightened you, removed enough of the mystery to build just one of the creations within CORAL CASTLE, DO IT. Make a video of it and post it here on You Tube so those of us not gifted with your acumen, can perhaps understand how Mr. Leedskalnins managed to do this by himself
No he didnt. Watch Searl zero point generator, real science
Outstanding job of figuring it out. I work a short distance from this site and have visited it and bought some of the pamphlets there. I think that this video hits the nail on the head. If only they taught the young people these electrical, leverage and construction ideas nowadays. He figured it out by self educating from books and introspection.
absolutely fantastic work here! you sir have made Ed proud! I've been waiting for this explanation for ten years! I applaud you.
More to go BUT thanks
I want to see a recreation of you actually building something from Ed's park.....
tbh if he could do, any men could probably do. Following his writings and his general understandings, I'm sure one again could form such monolithical structures.
scpetisism is great, but it can hold you back for the bad too
I want to see you do it.
@@Astrostone666 exactly.
@@Astrostone666 Check out FPV ANGEL here on TH-cam. Go to the video list, there is a man named Roy who is doing TONS of videos regarding Ed Leeskalins works, notes, books, and yes how coral castles machinery actually worked. It's ALOT of watching if anyone truly wants to understand this is a close as it gets.
As a retired School of Engineering person this is an absolutely excellent analysis and presentation of how it was all accomplished by a single person. Archimedes Quote: Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.
You know I've seen quite a few zany theories about how this man must have possessed some lost ancient magical knowledge and levitated blocks or had demonic assistance and such... but you sir really demonstrate your mechanical genius here in this video and offer the most feasible scenario yet as to how this set of structures was actually built by one man. Thank you very much for a great video.
And I made this first comment before I even finished the video or read any of the others. Now I'm seeing much the same sentiment from the rest of the public and there's a reason. Very well done.
Guy C ill bet this is nowhere near how he did it
Guy C i think he used a drill bit
That music makes this sound psychotic. Your statements are occasionally so overblown, you come off as a crazy.
^^^^
I don't think either of you watched the whole thing.
very interesting. I always wanted to know the secret behind the Coral Castle and how it was built. That was a very good explanation and rendition of how he built his sweet 16 Coral Castle, that he left behind for the World to be in awestruck by at what he left behind for the World to observe!
Absolutely the best Leedskalnin information- documentary I've seen. Most impressive.BYW I knew a guy who worked at CC in the 80s, though he had no clue as to the details you demonstrate. I hope this video is played for guests at CC so they can appreciate what is otherwise not explained.
A lot of people speculate how these things were done. You actually did it. Good work. Great explainations of the tripod erections and central power system. Nice to see someone do the homework and replicate how it was done!
Hands down the best explanation on youtube. And just when I was losing faith in humanity this documentary has lifted my soul.
I have to say I love your straight forward naration, calm and steady. The music is nice too, not all that common on youtube vids. I respect the work you did on this video, very nicely laid out in an organized point by point, tons of pictures and a lot of ACTUAL EXPERIMENTATION instead of conjecture! And like some one else commented, no flights of fantasy with aliens n what not. Favorite quote: human illusionment @ 19m 5s, it pretty much sums up other videos on the subject. Thanks for a nice, informative and realistic half hour. Time NOT wasted.
Great work dude, I thought the music was in background was quite enjoyable, well done 👍
State of Florida needs to give this gentleman a decent salary and budget to be a tour guide and design models so people can visualize what's going on.
wow, so cool that you figured out, on a practical level, what so many so called 'experts' could not... you deserve our respect, just like Ed does...thank-you
Scott, hello once again! I texted you years ago when having discovered your video on youtube! I just once again wanted to PRAISE your ingenuity and intellect AND perseverance! You single-handedly solved this enigma! What I find amusing is people don't even bother to look at all of the videos and photos of Ed using enormous block and tackle! they do zero research to learn that he was a stone mason who came from a stone mason family! You proved beyond a reasonable doubt how and what all the "gear" was being used for! PERIOD! I remember watching "in search of" with Leonard Nimoy and being irritated by the prospects of "unknown" magical powers creating this work...like "floating" the rocks with his mind power! etc...the true unknown "irritates" me because I want to really know the truth! And you my friend solved the mystery! again! THANK YOU!!!
Really cool! The amount of practical and physical engineering knowledge Ed had is staggering! No wonder so many people are confused!
Ed was electromechanical genius...wow
Not him (Edward), but his friend Nikola Tesla !
FRIEND? The fuck. Just shut up you blind fool.
@@jojolafrite90 yes i dont see even the slightest mention Ed and Tesla knew each other, perhaps professeur essef was not being literal? I think he just meant that what we have lost from Ed was the same knowledge that we have lost from Tesla. Being dismissive can be distinguished from being derogatory. If you have a good analytical mind youre always going to be pissing people off anyway, the swears will just lessen the impact and let people dismiss the truth behind what youre saying.
@@lecinquiemeroimage prove it. Do not claim what's already in the school books that lead us to dead ends!!!! Physics need rewriting !!!!!!!!! History TOOO!!!
Thank you for putting this mystery to bed for me. I have remembered this tale for decades. I understand electronics and everything you presented is factual in your explanations. I am happy to see that technology prevails here.
This is the best video on this subject, thanks
How am i only seeing this video 8 years later. Amazing research, you must be a very smart man (:
IKR Maybe ppl skipped this vid bc the other theories were so much more fun just like the Ancient Aliens hype back then
The time and dedication in this video certainly deserve the number of views it has got in these 4 years. It is true that the guy in this video uses almost the same kind of things they let him see in the old vintage videos and the remaining of the museum, however with the machines he has built in this documentary never in this world he or anybody can build a Coral Castle like Ed did, in fact with those tools from this video he couldn't build even a wooden house. A real mystery solver would be a real cutting on the rock or a real lifting/moving of a 40-ton rock. I agree that was all his opinion of how it could be done not mystery solver at all.
Not to take anything away from Ed by any means, I'm a huge fan, but it's doable without secret methods. I move monstrously huge, heavy things frequently, and I do it alone (and at night usually) because other people get in the way, have a horrible understanding of force, and are a liability. So much easier to do work like this alone if you are so inclined.
I respect your knowledge and dedication to recreating this technology. Awesome work!
Ed was the man,May his soul be at peace,with the lord. Good job,brilliant work.
Well done, Scott Russel. Your work goes a long way in explaining convincingly the methods used in creating the Coral Castle along with Ed's writings and the many materials and artifacts found on site. Bravo.
No, it doesnt...lol. His 'engineering solution' is all but bunk. How did Ed charge those batteries? Did he put ANY type of power measurement into this? He just 'plugs in the wheel', shows it spinning...and says 'this is how it works'. Yeah well, how many batteries did it take? Did he cut ONE rock with this method? Do you know how many batteries it would take to cut rock in this way? How did Ed charge those batteries? With his tiny 'hit and miss' engine he had (most don't even know he had this). This is extremely inefficient. You would be better off using the mechanical energy from the generator its self to cut the stone. Ed only had ONE cutting device, which is seen at his 'at work' photo. This guys explanation above is all but a distraction from the 'real' technology used. Just like Tesla...they don't want you to know the real stuff.
Honestly I'm blown away by your work and research attention to detail and commitment to parts of this incredible mystery. Just sorting through the electrical parts and all the other info many of the other on here have not come across or have ever seen some of the details and connections presented in this work. You deserve respect just for that alone! Just this documentary is great! Theres still enough mystery to go around but you've added to it in my opinion
AWSOME!!! Thank you for taking time and creating this.!!!
+Dmitri Soroka (Metallolomka) It actually sucked me in and when I saw all the misnomers I had to try my shot at it and It came to me. thats all I can say. Thanks Scott R
this all makes complete sense great logical and practical video
Thank you. I will update what few things are wrong like the boxes had sawdust and engine oil to preserve the poles not Batteries. Ooops.
Nice, that’s about as close to explaining what he did as u get besides watching how he did it in person . Explained perfectly thanks
I appreciated the work you put into this video. It would be useful that have more animated diagrams of what you are attempting to explain. I had a hard time following why these devices were particularly help in Ed performing these tasks.
Wow!! I just watched RFB yesterday with this on there! I'm so interested and would love to go see this! Thanks bunches!
I watched the same video!!! Wow another RFB follower!!!
I seen RFB video as well. It was an awesome video. The guy who showed up.and explained all about it. And had Richie as the lookout. Indiana Jones he called him. LOL.
i saw that on Marfoogle i think ritchie mirrored Marfoogles work
I just finished RFB's video too. Wish I could go see it
@@miked5256 no he didn't wtf
Have you visited his original homestead? Northeast of its current location. I was given permission to view the land where he originally set up his "castle". The area contains hundreds of metal pipes. A newspaper article in the office gives the clue to how Ed cut the coral. He used water pressure to cut and move the large pieces of coral. There are large square holes in the ground where he had removed the coral. This motorized contraption could not get under the pieces of the coral, so he developed a high pressure water system to undermine the coral. The devices you show are tinker toys and would not stand up to the daily work load that he produced.
@Ebony Hayes ...Without being mean, and just to get you thinking... The Easter Island statutes are just as heavy, and not compact like Ed's blocks. Yet they were moved. There is that video of a man using round stones and levers only, to move 20+ton blocks across his backyard...then lifting them upright. Used a GoPro? camera and invited all his family to watch him prove it could be done.
he used it to generate power for his radio array but no one want to hear what the local seen first hand. you sir did one of the honest takes on ed thank you.
Excellent - the first "normal physics" explanation of Ed's work that I've seen that did not have major holes in it. Your analysis and circuitry all make sense.
I've been to the Coral Castle and live in Fl. One enduring story is that Ed would have these huge stone blocks delivered via truck and would not unload them until the driver left. According to this video, Ed would have had to set up his tripod/block and tackle (?) mechanism over the truck, lift the blocks off, then disassemble the tripod and move the blocks via rolling logs around the site. It's possible, but it sure sounds like a lot of work.
Another thing, my understanding is that many of the myths or whatever were started by Ed himself. He would say things like "I figured out how the Egyptians built the pyramids" and so on. Good marketing, I'd say.
The testimony from some of the flatbed truck drivers that moved the massive stones stated that they went around the corner to an area that prevented them from seeing how the blocks were loaded on to the back of the flat bed truck. The real kicker here is that the truck drivers stated that it took Ed but a few minutes to accomplish loading each block onto the back of of flatbed truck. This does not give Ed anywhere near enough time to assemble and disassemble a massive tripod over the back of a flatbed truck of which would take hours if not possibly days. As we can see from this video simply erecting a tripod made out of trees is a massive undertaking. There is simply not enough time during the loading process of the block to assemble a tripod crane over the back of the truck and then disassemble it and accomplish that in just a few minutes. This video completely and absolutely overlooks this very simple fact.
THANK YOU this was very informational.
the man was a GENIUS.
yeah, how about " Made by one man?" this dude has got, ...uh what one might consider "HIS SHIT TOGETHER!!" KEEP YOUR VIDEOS COMING!!!
Brilliant!!! I bet he read a lot of Tesla's books! I have to admit, your explanation has been the best ever " No Brainer!" Now we can also see how the Pyramids were done......who says they did not figure out magnetic energy, or steam.....the Romans had steam baths and fountains fed by the gravity of water from the downward slope of water off the mountains. I watched a scientist show a long lost self made stone pipeline at Machu Pichu that ran several miles to keep water flowing through out each home, the external fountains for plants and wildlife and this water fed to a high mountain top was fed from another mountain along this stone cut groove all perfectly aligned and with just enough flow rate to not cause pressure damage along the way or at the end. Nobody knew of this until this one man figured it out that it had been overgrown out of sight.
Although I do like the music could you please consider making one without the music? I can't hear everything you say sometimes!
Agreed! It was very distracting!
The music is terrible in this application.
Great show. Great explanations to the mystery, plus he came from a Mason background. I think he was a very smart man. Good job!
Well put together! Ed was a genius “junkyard” engineer! I keep thinking even the great pyramids were built the same way! People using tools to make big work small!
You know, if you listen to a large steam or oil or hit and mis engine you realize where the industrial music from the 80s came from!
Thomas Edison made the first recording of magnetic noise industrial machinery being the sound, this was truly said to be the inspiration for early 80's industrial music♥️
I've been to Coral Castle and marveled at the construction performed by one man! you have done an amazing job of recreating the technology and methods used!
great work explaining coral castles mysteries.
amazing, the things that people could get done before we all started sitting around watching tv and staring at the internet.
Tim vickers Indeed!😊
This is gold, no nonsense magical power
Seems to me quite plausible. The idea of using a band/cable saw makes a lot of sense. Add in some moisture to keep the band/cable cool and the coral rock a bit soft/brittle and I like it. If you notice the coral is quite porous, unlike granite and other harder stone. I have found some coral to be quite hard but not as hard as many stones are. Excellent presentations. I'm going to give it a big thumbs up.
How every video ever should be. Straight to the point.
Interesting, and entirely plausible, it makes a pleasant change from the usual levitation/aliens (magic) nonsense normally put out on TH-cam.
Well done.
+Andrew Holdaway I know right? Thank you much for that. you have no idea how much crap I get though. I don't know anything cause vibration is the key, or sound will levitate rocks. I just have to duck.
+Andrew Holdaway Xln't job. However, disappointing. I came to see magic ice cream cones that levitate stones. :-(
Danny Boy 🍦I know, floating stones and ice cream, my favourite 😁 too.
+Made by one man Wow..is this even you? I was gonna say how fascinating and thought provoking this was....and then " I know right"? In any case, Thank You for posting. A highly entertaining and educational video . The mechanics and physics were excellently described and kept my attention throughout. In any case, Thx for posting and would like to see more~
Thanks. I am sorry your post didn't get to me till now. I though we conversed but sometime you tube drops things. I Don't delete comments. someone else does behind the curtains. (i think) Scott R.
WOW! this was the BEST video explanation by far!! Amazing that you actually re-did almost all of Ed's inventions and set up. That is some Major Dedication! Can you please do a video on Explaining Ed's "book in every home" and his"Magnetic theory book" I think you might be the only person to explain it clearly and "accurately". Thank you!
Thanks Much. I HAVE read both book a number of times each. I have also had strange "parallels" as many others have had with the girls, boys etc. and magnetic universal potential space/time correlations.
As for Magnetic current I have actually done the calculations with declination and the change in the earth magnetic field with regards to NASA's actual modern measurement of the shifting North and South poles. Also Ed discoveries could be related to maxwell and others so on that?:::::::::::
Someday I will write a book and there will be a "sub appendix" for the "potentially enlightened" open minded folks including leyline theory, anagrams of alien orientation, and a few "contraversial" spiritual subjects and commentary etc. That will probably be about the book in every home.
@@madebyoneman5006 I had the chance to visit the castle one time myself - you have put all mystery in my mind to rest! Amazing work and dedication sir! You're a hard-working man.
You have my attention but I would have to go back and read about the situations where he did something extraordinary in a short time when people were listening and did not hear any noises, etc to indicate he was doing things that used the kinds of energy you are describing.
Another point is that the men at that time would have been familiar with the things you are describing and if he could have done them they would have known it.
I think that he did do things with the equipment he had but I also think he did something more either with that stuff or other stuff that related to magnets.
I volunteered at UFO and free energy conferences for 20 years and I saw some amazing things. A thing on a carburator that ran a car idling for 8 hours a day of the event, and the exhaust pipe was ice cold. A device made of round magnets that copied the 'wedding cake saucer ' that Billy Meier in switzerland photographed, and when the guy stood it up it began to rotate wildly on only the power from the magnets. And I have seen videos where things Ed had were moved to make a magnetic change and did something I forget, but it was impressive.
I agree with other commentors that although impressive, you theories have not shown they can do the moving of the coral slabs, and if they could as you say, five men could not do it in the time he did things.
It is like the Japanese team that moved a huge block by ropes, but they never got it up to anyplace that showed it could be done and was an explanation for how the pyramid was built.
I also have videos where Yul Brown barehanded with regular glasses and smoking a cigarette welded glass to tungsten, bricks to steel, etc with browns gas. Having worked as a fitter to a welder who cut 35 inch steel pipes, I know a bit about how welding does and does not work, and abiut how much one or two people can do when things are very heavy, etc
I think he could have done what you say but in months rather than hours, and if he did the people who tried to see how he did things would have heard motors and seen lights, etc,
Great reply. I've been to Coral Castle several times. Almost everything in this video's on point, except I don't remember seeing a reciprocation engine or a locomotion attachment or any heavy machinery. I think he was using the generator to do a couple more things that's missing in this video
Absolutely astounding analysis of the whole coral castle "mystery"! Thank you very much! It demonstrates tremendous undertaking by an ambitious and brilliant individual!
After watching this clip, I was furious and felt compelled to voice my utter disapproval in the comments portion area section. You should be ashamed of yourself for uploading this clip. Where do you get off making a clip that poses a hypothesis and back it up with sane, credible evidence? This is TH-cam! Hello!? Since when did it become acceptable to clearly use the scientific method properly on TH-cam? Hey?
You know, I've watched a lot of crap on TH-cam in my time. It gives me great joy to make fun of their ridiculous claims and point out any glaringly obvious flaws to them. How dare you take that away from me.
How do you sleep at night? If you wake feeling tired, with aching muscles after a night tossing and turning, perhaps a new mattress is what you need. I get you good price for mattress. You want? Yes? Only Three fitty.
Karma dude. You make a valid rational clip and back up your theory properly, I have no choice but to use my words to make you smile at least, at best, you will cry. At least I have hope. Peace. Exceptional clip. Well researched and executed properly. Do you have any frikkin idea just how rare you are on TH-cam?
Duncan Disorderly lol
Bravo!
Any proper TH-cam video requires a few basic things:
1. A bad techno stock music soundtrack.
2. A robot voice narration, or inane captions without narration.
3. A lot of smug, smirking, marijuana-induced paranoia from the video's creator about being smarter than "mainstream science", "Illuminati", "big government", and "the military-industrial complex", mixed with....
4. A lot of goofy New-Age pseudo-science and/or magical woo, preferably involving aliens, crystals, chi, and pyramid-power.
Duncan Disorderly, you could have used your talents to describe the horrible music. Lol
@Duchess Of Ravenhall. Talents? I love when a stranger uses that word. Why... thank you.
Incidentally, I am blushing, the blush of the modestly flattered.
How did I miss seeing this comment?
@Pietyr Ayday. Only saw this for the first time today. I love it! You hit the nail on the head. Nine Inch Nails preferably. I love that frikkin group! NIN is the way to my heart, both literally and figuratively.
It would takemore than a lifetime to do it the way they claim...they didn't solve anything
I guess if ur a lazy @$$ roofer who works two hours a day and then goes for a beer or an entitled finger pointer with a degree in No Practical Experience, then,yeah, it might not get done. But there are plenty of people who can work smart AND hard. If this is all still a mystery to you after watching this video, you failed to understand what you saw. He comes from STONE MASONS! He probably knew more about working stone than us by the age of 5. And this is EXACTLY how big stones have always been moved and built with. Simple mechanical physics. Planes, levers, pulleys, wheels. Granted that the Egyptian deeds we're a magnitude larger they would probably have needed to construct wooden cranes that could swivel and be broken down for mobility. Only someone with a great fear of doing actual labor would fail to understand how this is all inevitably the only way to accomplish this kind of building. It's not even really hard work. It would just take dedication and persistence and trade education. He took what he could from the current science of the day and improved on a trade that is as old as the pyramids
This was the same principle that Mago Merlin used with builders of the Stonehedge. Magnets and timber pulleys using ropes.
There are NO Alien beings there is only Jesus God. The gift of science and technology that he gave us.
@@justincase5032 Yeah exactly! Have you seen the guy who figured out he could move giant blocks of concrete by placing pebbles under them to get them to move smoothly? It's incredible. All the simplicities of smart thinking and basic magnetism and most people can't comprehend the simplicity of it all and either conclude it's BS because it's not complicated enough or they stick to their alien stories lol the truth is boring.
Man I would love to just hang out and watch a man like you in action. Good job, very impressive. Just accidentally found this video, glad I did.
I am in Vermont come on by. SERIOUYSLY. I am fiddling with the cutting saws right now. Finding I need to HURRY UP the saw. Come on up. Where are you? UK, AUSTRALIA, USA? Scott R
+Made by one man way down here in Austin tx. If I didn't have 4 kids and a wife to boss me around, I would be packing my bags. Lol keep it up, I want to see this thing in its complete form!
I will continue to keep up the machine just in a lull right now. Some batteries and magnet wire is my only restriction. Time and $$$ of course too.
+Made by one man
You are really One man with Brain. If I was Soros, I'd give to you $$$, not for abortion promotion. A lot of $$$.
Now I just can wish you luck! A lot of luck.
Mr.Russell, fabulous video! Like you I was born in 1961, so our experiences on a large scale are similar. Without getting into a diatribe on the failings of our educational systems the past 40 years I’d like to commend you on your use of language to impress or educate.
Early in the video you spoke of Ed’s appetite to read. Reading and therefore knowledge is paramount to understanding the world around us or at least the world in which we place ourselves.
Thank you.
the music is very distracting
Awesome work! You figured out almost everything about Ed and his ingenious methods of cutting his huge corral blocks. But how did he lift those heavy blocks is the big question? A wooden tripod? Pulleys lifting tons of stone? Ed said he discovered the secrets of ancient Egyptians. If it was all pulleys lifting the large stones why be so secretive about your building techniques?
he was simply saying, he thinks the Egyptians used his methods but scaled up to thousands of men, if he could do this all himself imagine what 5,000 workers could do.
when loading the truck
Ed would tell the driver to go behind the bushes while he loaded the big rocks on the truck.... I think there is more to this story than has been discussed
Sorry Ed = 1
US = 0
In many of those old photos of Ed's set up show those black boxes, where'd they go ???
@@victoriarose3478 the off the shelf chain hoists below the box are more important. There are still chain hoists in his workshop hanging on the wall.
@@victoriarose3478 yea I noticed I couldn't find one I saw before.
when he moved big parts of coral castle by himself on the rental truck-driver left only for 25 min. for short lunch,but his big truck was all ready fully loaded for relocation
That is perhaps the biggest clue yet. It tells that the block and tackle were not the method used.
if your erect a tower as many times as he did you get quicker at it. My dad in the early 60s pulled the tubing string and rod string from an oil well he owned using the triple beam method. Lots of people did this. See the huge trees they loaded on the wagons? Not rocket science.
It's fake story. Driver was paid to make this joke (driver thought so).
@@randytucker3083 if it was they simple people would have figured it out long ago.
I've never been there but always wanted to visit. This is the best explanation on how it was actually made that I have ever seen in my 62 years
