What is acrylic?
Acrylic is a kind of chemical material and is generally a kind of plastic. Our products are made of acrylic sheets of any size and shape, cut and bonded. The advantage of acrylic material is that the style can be customized freely, and it is highly adaptable and will be very exquisite through processing. The material colors are white, transparent, and can be made into colorful series.
Clear acrylic products:
The special ink is printed directly on the high-transparent PET film through a professional UV printing process and then pasted on the acrylic sheet.
The edges or parts that are not printed are clear or transparent. Therefore, it is called clear or transparent acrylic.
The surface is delicate and smooth.
The color is high-definition and bright.
The paint generally does not fall off.
The material is relatively thick, with high brightness, and very good texture.

If we are talking what the typical ferris wheel that most people think of , that's the Eli #5 or #16 Wheel, or just a "Big Eli". Until recently these wheels had but two controls. They have a clutch and a brake. These are both hand controls, utilizing a rachet and pall locking mechanism that would lock the controls into position. The operator squeezes a release lever on the top of the control lever to move either one into the desired position. It takes a fair amount of skill to operate a cable drive Eli, especially the #16 wheel, so much so that a good Eli man was paid more than the average ride jockey.
I found this discription of how a #16 wheel is handled. It's the recollections of former Mountain Park employee Jay Ducharme during the last seasons of it's operation.
I was quite nervous when Roger Fortin trained me on the big wheel. I never considered myself good with math, and this ride required some on-the-fly computation. The wheel was powered by a small motor attached to an ingenious butterfly clutch system. The clutch had two curved shoes, much like old car brakes, that squeezed against a drum (like a tire rim). The drum engaged a steel cable (about 3/4 of an inch in diameter) that looped around the rim of the wheel. Along that one side, each sweep (the piece of steel that extends out from the central hub) had two flared angle irons at their ends, through which the cable passed. The operator stood in front of the clutch mechanism, next to a long hip-high lever. The lever had a squeeze-trigger that allowed it to move forward or back to engage or disengage the clutch and activate the brake. A push-button switch would send power to the motor.
All this is important to note because the ride operator, unlike with so many modern "automatic" rides, had complete control of the wheel and had to be constantly alert. All of the seats were numbered. So if two young kids sat in seat number 1, for example, I would have to mentally note their combined estimated weight. Then I would engage the clutch and swing them around to the top of the ride until seat 9 (directly opposite seat 1) was next to me. Then from the queue line, I'd try to find one large guest or two more small guests and ask them to sit in seat number 9. I'd have to do this to balance the wheel. Since the only thing turning the ride was a relatively thin cable running around one side of a steel rim and through a small clutch, an out-of-balance wheel would cause the cable to slip in the rim, and the wheel wouldn't be able to turn all the way around. It was especially bad if the ride was wet. Obviously, the ride could accept some variation. But if it was loaded it too heavily in one area, there was trouble.
Siemens has supplied the control and drive technology for the world's largest transportable Ferris wheel. The 750-ton, 80-meter tall steel giant was built by the Munich-based company Maurer German Wheels GmbH according to a plan by Bussink Design. The 74-meter wide wheel rotates two to four times per hour and can carry up to 16 passengers in each of its 27 gondolas. Siemens supplied the drive systems, electronics, and automation technology that ensure the wheel's efficient operation and, most importantly, guarantee a safe ride.
The world's largest transportable Ferris wheel is equipped with control and drive technology from Siemens. The 750-ton, 80-meter tall steel giant was built by the Munich-based company Maurer German Wheels according to a plan by Bussink Design. The 74-meter wide wheel rotates two to four times per hour and can carry up to 16 passengers in each of its 27 gondolas. While a second R80XL-type Ferris wheel is being prepared in Munich, the first is already spinning in Mexico. Siemens supplied the drive systems, electronics, and automation technology that ensure the wheel's efficient operation and, most importantly, guarantee a safe ride.
Mobile XL Ferris wheels are not designed for county fairs, as they take three to four weeks to construct and disassemble. Instead, the giant rides serve as temporary tourist attractions at alternating locations. For example, the first of the two record-breaking Ferris wheels has been attracting visitors to Puebla, Mexico, since the summer of . Safety is the top priority in such huge rides, which have two systems to handle power outages, for example. Besides boasting an emergency power generator, the Ferris wheel has excellent bearings that ensure its center of gravity always rolls downward so that all of the passengers can be evacuated even if there is no electricity.
Safety is also ensured by two redundant Simatic S7-300F controls from Siemens that are certified to be failsafe. All of the switching technology is distributed in two redundant containers at separate locations. The controls operate the drive motors as well as the gondola infrastructure, which includes the lighting, the air conditioning, and the power doors.
The drives consist of eight electric motors with rubber tires that rotate the big wheel by pressing on various parts of its exterior. Automatic setting systems continually adjust the pressure that is exerted on the wheel to ensure it is always at an optimal level. Each motor is equipped with a frequency converter that optimally adjusts the rotational speed in order to reduce wear and tear. The motors' condition is continually monitored as well. The converters allow the braking energy to be fed back into the local grid. Because all of the drive system components are coordinated with one another, the wheel can be operated in a way that optimizes efficiency and keeps wear to a minimum.
The entry of the passengers is also automated. All of the gondolas provide the operator with information on their status through a robust industrial wireless LAN connection. On the basis of ticket sales, the operator also knows how many passengers are waiting to get on the Ferris wheel. The passengers are automatically allowed into the gondolas in such a way that the weight is always optimally distributed around the wheel.

As Henry Burden continued to expand the operations at the original Troy Iron and Nail Factory on the Wynantskill, he faced the need for increased water power. By the late s there were five water wheels powering different parts of the mill. Burden concluded that this arrangement was unnecessarily complicated, and he determined to replace the five water wheels with one large vertical water wheel.
Construction of the new water wheel started in but it is not known exactly when the first wheel went into service. That wheel was replaced with and larger and improved wheel in . And large it was. The new overshot water wheel was 60 feet in diameter.
Each of the 36 buckets was 22 feet across and 6 feet deep. The water from the Wynantskill was held in an artificial pond and then carried to the mill through a large pipe. Henry Burden and other industrialists controlled the Wynantskill, and through a series of dams and reservoirs tried to assure that all mills had reliable water power. The wheel turned counterclockwise at two revolutions per minute and transmitted its power through a series of gears to increase speed. It drove a shaft one foot in diameter that ran on the ground through the mill; power to individual machines was provided by leather belting. The wheel is estimated to have produced about 1,200 horsepower. This made the Burden water wheel the most powerful vertical water wheel in history; it is often referred to as the “Niagara of water wheels.” However, it is not the tallest. That honor belongs to the Lady Isabella water wheel on the Isle of Man, at 70 feet. But that wheel is very narrow and much less powerful.
