Power of Water to Move Mountains with a Stream
Pittsburg Dispatch describes the hydraulic monitor and its capacity to erode earth and rocks. A six inch nozzle with 76 feet fall could carry a ton weight block 50 to 100 feet, creating massive eroding force and even lethal projection. At 400 feet, a 375 foot tall jet could shear trees, cut through bark, and hollow banks, forming caves and causing collapses. The piece cites large-scale demonstrations in rivers like the Yuba and Bear, estimating tens of millions of inches of water used and vast material moved, claiming mountains could be removed into the sea with sufficient water flow.
