Experiment

Build the London Eye

In 1999 a 135-metre wheel was put together lying flat on the Thames, then hauled upright with strand jacks. Build the Millennium Wheel yourself in eight steps: each one is a tap, a hold or a swipe.

A simplified model: the order of the work is real and the scale is close, but the detail is not. How many sections the rim came in, and exactly how the second phase of the lift worked, are guesses.
