Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the water down to Earth, and the water in turn turns the wheel. So in effect gravity is doing all the work.

How does flowing water generate power?
A wheel is put in the water that makes it turn, generating electricity.
What motion does the torque produced by earth's gravity impart to a vertically spinning bicycle wheel?
If the wheel is balanced, then gravity produces no net torque on the wheel. The weight of every tinybit of the wheel on one side of the pivot ... trying to make the wheel turn one way ... is exactly matchedby the weight of a tiny bit of the wheel on the other side of the pivot, trying to make the wheel turnthe other way.A balanced wheel freely suspended in the field of earth's gravitation doesn't spontaneously begin to spin.
How does a pulley help in lifting the load easily?
Because - through the use of gears, the load is spread. For example, every turn of the main pulley wheel only turns the anchor wheel one SIXTH.
How can the energy from moving water be used to produce electricity?
Water can turn a wheel, which turns an axle connected to an electrical generator which generates electricity by moving magnets so that their magnetic fields pass through wires.
What is the fulcrum of the wheel?
it is the part to turn the gear round and round
What do hydroeletric power plats use to turn turbines?
gravity and water. Gravity pulls water down through the turbines.
If a wheel always stops in the same position when it is free to turn about its axis what can be said about the wheel?
its centre of gravity is not centred. or it has a gear mechanism which controls its movement
What provides the energy to turn a water wheel?
Elephants. Obviously...?
How does a rudder turn a boat?
A wheel is connected to the rudder, when you turn the wheel it turns the rudder. The water flowing by the boat is pushed in either direction by the orientation of the rudder.
How does flowing water generate power?
A wheel is put in the water that makes it turn, generating electricity.
What happens to water closest to the moon?
Water on the surface of the moon will rapidly turn to water vapor as there is no atmospheric pressure on the moon. The vapor will then escape the moon's gravity which is much weaker than the gravity on Earth.
When you turn the wheel it is worse?
Don't turn the wheel.
What happens to a watermill and the mill wheel during winter when the river freezes?
The water freezes and the wheel will become stiff and hard to turn.
Why is your steering wheel harder to turn after you drove through water?
the belts on your car get wet

How do you empty the water tank in the elemental workshop in runescape?
You don't, all you do is turn the right valve and then the left valve and then pull the lever to make the water wheel turn.
When was A Turn of the Wheel created?
A Turn of the Wheel was created in 1989.
