The Trick Fountains, Floating Crown and Water Theatre of Markus Sittikus' Hellbrunn Palace in Salzburg have thrilled and inspired for over 400 years. We go behind the scenes to discover what makes them work and how this technology has shaped the modern world.

KZfaq recommends me 10 year old 10-second videos instead of quality content like this. Way to go, algorithm.

You have no clue, because while watching this I stumble in my recommedation feed over a playlist of all 150 Ducktales 2017 videos. Go figure - I have no idea where that comes from, why it is there when the last time was I even watched something remotely related to DuckTales

@@SahilP2648 I disagree. People didn't get more or less intelligent. They merely gained some convenient tools for exchanging information, beliefs, etc... Although I AM willing to say that the world as a whole is more educated these days, only problem is the education system doesn't teach you how to filter information so that job is left for parents (if they exist). Just my opinion

​@@SahilP2648 Just because we hear a ton about the idiots doesn't mean that that's all there is nowadays. Dumb people have existed back then as well, you simply have not yet heard of them yourself. Lots of funny stories you could find on the internet about the past Consider the insane things we nowadays have managed, tiny computers, great medical advancements, being able to explore space or the deep seas It's not about being more or less intelligent in general, it's about having knowledge available as the other person has said. Although the average education rate nowadays is not even comparable to how low it was back then.

When Louis IV was building the palace of versailles it had so many fountains they were never able to power them all at once. Different servants would run around turning them on and off as he walked within view lol. They diverted Different water sources and even started to build a Roman style auquaduct. All futile efforts.

@@unvergebeneid That's fair. I guess I'm not sure why they decided to go with human labor without any mechanical assistance. Maybe the distance between the different water features or some constraint of the palace's design would have made a screw, bucket lift, whatever impractical. Also, I doubt the fountains ran 24/7 in the palace's early days. It's perhaps better to get the servants to fill up the tank before a big party rather than have a pump that runs only 1% of the time.

Sorry, great concept, but I dont like this video. Why? You are in too much of a hurry, you talk too fast and there is way, way too many cuts, its like watching an annoying music video rather than a calming film about fountains. Even ignoring the cuts you are barely allowing your viewers time to take in what is happening or the beauty of the setup before you hurry to explain it. Please calm down!
