Water Wheel

A water wheel is a mechanical device that converts the energy of flowing or falling water into rotational motion. Typically made of a wheel with blades or buckets attached, it harnesses water’s kinetic energy as it moves. When water flows over or into the wheel, it causes the wheel to turn. Historically, water wheels were used to power various machines, such as mills for grinding grain or sawing wood. They played a significant role in early industrial processes and are seen as an essential development in the use of renewable energy.
