Certain discord server ended up expressing some doubts that I misidentified the location of the lift on the full view of New Berk. While it turns out that I didn&#8217;t misidentify the location &#8230; let&#8217;s be completely fair and honest, 5 kilometers <em>is<\/em> a ridiculous height estimate. With 4K BluRay in my hands, the time has come to do a second round of calculations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seeing the forest for the trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to eyeball the size of Berk is to take a look at the trees. There&#8217;s spruces growing all over the island. Setting-wise, it would be reasonable to expect that these are the European kind of spruces \u2014 and these can grow up to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Picea_abies\">35-55 meters tall<\/a>. Do spruces on New Berk grow this tall? Quick sanity check says they do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-213\" width=\"1920\" height=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc-300x128.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc-768x326.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc-1024x435.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/berk_winter_spruce_calc-1200x510.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>Note that I didn&#8217;t bother correcting calculations for the fact that trees farther away from the camera appear smaller.

Turns out yes &#8230; but we&#8217;re gonna need math. For starters, we need four points on the image that we know real-world coordinates of. Since we know how tall the boathouse is, we can quickly pull four points out of thin air.<br><br>Now, I haven&#8217;t watched enough Rick&amp;Morty to understand the sort of math needed to calculate the FoV and direction in which the camera is pointing, but <a href=\"http:\/\/). They were even nice enough to writ\">someone over at stackoverflow has<\/a> \u2014 and they were nice enough to write their answer in Python \u2014 a language that I know a <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/xternal7\/gimp-autobubble\">very<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/xternal7\/gimp-outline\">tiny<\/a> bit. That answer doesn&#8217;t give us everything, though, but let&#8217;s not worry. There&#8217;s also <a href=\"https:\/\/math.stackexchange.com\/questions\/82602\/how-to-find-camera-position-and-rotation-from-a-4x4-matrix\">this math stackexchange post<\/a>, which pretty much seems to cover the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know what you&#8217;re thinking. That&#8217;s a lot of math, and I really want to avoid having to do said math. Especially since I haven&#8217;t watched enough Rick&amp;Morty to even figure out how my datapoints translate to solutions described in that post. That, and I&#8217;m also lazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There must be an easier way, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is. Behind Berk, there&#8217;s a lake. Lakes have one very nice property: unless the lake is particularly big, its surface is going to be flat. With that in mind, the New Berk shot was picked very carefully: when moving through the scene frame-by-frame, I found a frame where the lake that surrounds New Berk is aligned with horizon. With horizon known, we only need another point, for which we know the between horizon and the direction in which the camera faces towards said point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for us, that will turn out to be easy. We can trust that support pillars for the lifts (as well as the walkways and terraces around the lifthouse are roughly perpendicular. This means we can easily determine the directions in which the axes of the 3D coordinate system point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates-1024x653.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-227\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates-1024x653.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates-1200x765.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stuff.tamius.net\/sacred-texts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/4k_Gimp_coordinates.jpg 1717w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Since support trusses are perpendicular to each other and parallel or perpendicular to the horizontal plane, we can use a few strokes of white to highlight the coordinate system.

Let&#8217;s see if the lift we see at the end of the movie is even possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineeringtoolbox.com\/manila-rope-strength-d_1512.html\">I will use this as a baseline when calculating my loads<\/a>.  2&#8243; (48mm) rope would weigh about a kilo and a half per meter, and it&#8217;s gonna break when you hit 120 kN (about 12 tons). This means that once the rope is 8 kilometers long, it won&#8217;t be able to support itself. But while this number is significantly over the 3.35 kilometer worst case scenario, it includes only the weight of the rope. It doesn&#8217;t account for the force of the ship being lifted, additional friction created by the wheels \u2014 both on top of the lift, as  well as wheels that keep ships on tracks (you can see guiding tracks on the screenshot) \u2014 the lateral  force that the wind exerts on the rope (as rope gets longer, those forces can get very significant), and any additional stress\/force  exerted by wheel\/rope slipping and then quickly tightening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t want to run the risk of rope snapping halfway up, you  really want to treat maximum safe load as the maximum weight you can  hang from that rope. The site suggests that maximum safe load is 1\/12 of the breaking point, so we&#8217;ll take that as a  gospel. 1\/12 out of 120 kN is 10 kN or about 1 ton, which means you&#8217;ll  need to plant a lift station once every 650-700 meters along the way if  you want to lift nothing at all, and 300-500 meters (depending on how  much rope can you afford) if you actually want your lift to be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means we&#8217;re probably looking at 8-10 transfer stations along the way. One could argue that, vikings being vikings, they had no OSHA and other pesky safety bureaus and organizations. On the other hand, though, they probably knew their ropes and how much they can carry, and knew their limits. Even if they initially felt a bit more adventurous and cut corners on the transfer stations (having as few as three or two, maybe none) they&#8217;d eventually come to the conclusions that transfer stations are not optional and built a proper number of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My previous island put the settlement of New Berk at about 5 kilometers above the sea.
