1940 Bomb Destroyer Test for Panama Canal

The video discusses an artist's conception related to the Panama Canal locks, highlighting how they can be protected from aerial bombardment using the Wilford lattice invention. A model demonstrates the lattice's functionality, showing how cables can dissipate energy effectively.

What is the primary purpose of the Wilford lattice as depicted in the artist's conception?

• To generate electricity

• To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Panama Canal

• To protect vital spots from aerial attacks

• To improve the efficiency of canal locks

Which of the following is a key feature of the Wilford lattice mechanism?

• It relies on water pressure to function

• It uses solar panels to generate power

• It employs whirling cables to dissipate energy

• It is powered by wind turbines

How does the Wilford lattice protect against bomb destruction?

• By deflecting bombs with a magnetic field

• By absorbing the impact with reinforced concrete

• By using whirling cables to dissipate energy

• By creating a smoke screen

What does the model demonstrate about the Wilford lattice?

• It can be used to build bridges

• It requires constant maintenance

• It can completely dissipate the energy of a projectile

• It is ineffective against modern weaponry

What happens when a projectile is fired at the Wilford lattice model?

• The projectile is deflected back

• The cables completely dissipate the energy

• The projectile passes through unhindered

• The model collapses
