WorkHe has constructed a concrete Stonehenge-like structure using only materials and techniques that do not rely on any modern machine-powered technology. He has demonstrated this technique[1] on the Canadian science television program Daily Planet[2][3] and also for the Discovery Channel[4]. TechniqueHis technique uses simple machines such as levers aided by counterweights and pivots. He says that he has successfully singlehandedly "walked" a twenty-ton barn and multi-thousand-pound concrete blocks using a beam lever and two pivots beneath the object and near the center of mass. These techniques might be comparable to those used by Edward Leedskalnin when he had single-handedly constructed his massive Coral Castle in Florida.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Web Site Shows Old Skills Moving Mountain Of Rock|url=http://www.accessmylibrary.com/premium/0286/0286-6259563.html|author=Mike Wendland|date=2004-10-04 | work=Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCvx5gSnfW4|title=Daily Planet clip}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://sciencestage.com/v/951/building-stonehenge.html|title=same Daily Planet clip with moving pictures}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K7q20VzwVs|title=Simple building.
