The "drive" wheel.
The wheel that turns another is called a drive wheel. The wheel that is being turned by another wheel is the driven wheel. The wheels could be v-belt or flat belt driven in which case the wheels would be pulleys. They could also be driven by chain in which case the wheels would be sprockets. The wheels could also have direct drive in which case they would be called gears.
A bicycle wheel is considered a wheel and axle simple machine. When the wheel turns, it enables movement with reduced friction and effort. The axle acts as a fulcrum for the wheel to rotate around.
Rolling friction occurs when a wheel turns on its surface. This type of friction is caused by the contact between the wheel and the surface it is rolling on, which resists the movement of the wheel. Rolling friction is generally lower than sliding friction, making it easier for the wheel to move.
We can answer better is you tell what you are comparing a burner with. Heat is heat and one kind may be faster and than another kind.
A Ferris wheel typically uses electrical energy to power its motor, which turns the wheel. The electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy to rotate the wheel and provide a ride for passengers.
It depends what kind. With the ones with the raised back you could put a chainsaw motor on it. 45+

One science experiment is "Does ice melt faster in water or in air?". Another one is "What kind of bread molds faster? Wheat or White?"
Sprockets are a kind of wheels that have teeth to keep a chain in place an moving from the action made by another sprocket. Sprocket wheels are used for bikes and on roller chains.
Wheel and axle.
Water is boiled in a boiler and the steam is used to force a piston up and down. The crank of the piston is attached to the outside of a wheel, like a railway engine. As the piston goes up and down, the wheel turns. The turning wheel can drive a locomotive, or any kind of tractor, grinding mill, pump etc.
Don't, it will come off whatever you do. If you don't like the colour, best to get another cover.
