The overshot wheel was an improvement over the undershot wheel because it allowed for creating more force on the water so the wheel moved faster. The undershot wheel has a drag factor because water is gotten at the bottom of the wheel and has to be carried up to the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel has water flowing into the buckets at the top of the wheel forcing it downward.

How does an undershot water wheel work?
In an undershot water wheel, the wheel turns as a result of the weight of the water. The water flows into the wheel, stops and then when the wheel turns the water flows out underneath the wheel. It is used when you do not have a big head of water. In the overshot wheels the water pushes the wheel and then flows over the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel uses both the weight and the momentum of the water and so are more efficient and powerful.

How a Egyptian waterwheel works?
The Bible says the Hebrews watered their gardens "with thy foot". They walked a water wheel to raise water from a canal up to an irrigation ditch or sluice. So as not to walk in the water, they built an inner wheel ("a wheel within a wheel"). The larger-diameter wheel carried buckets down into the canal. These tipped at the appropriate height, spilling water into the ditch which would carry it to the field.

My 6 day old bull calf is undershot why does this happen and what causes it?
Undershot jaws in animals (according to the Merck Veterinary Manual, this is when the lower jaw or mandible is too long and juts out in front of the maxilla or upper jaw) is hereditary, and is caused by a recessive gene that only pops up when two parents that are heterozygous for undershot jaws mate. This can be a result of inbreeding or linebreeding, or just pure coincidence between two unrelated parents. In young animals, especially in your 6-day-old bull calf, this will often correct itself over time.

What is the combination of all four alleles required to create a severely overshot jaw in a dog?
The combination of all four alleles required to create a severely over shot jaw in a dog would be a recessive gene (dd) in both the upper and lower jaws. This means that both parents must be carriers of this recessive allele to have offspring with a severely overshot jaw.
Can you suggest an interesting algorithm in AI and an improvement of it?
Offcourse.Its MINIMAX Algorithm to construct game tree.The improvement is made by inventing Alpha-Beta Pruning.Another improvement over it is to apply Iterative Deepening Search(IDS) over it.
Who thought slavery was an improvement over life in Africa?

Is there any improvement in the concept time travel?
Improvement needs a time scale. It means an amelioration over time. The time travel, by removing the time-scale rigidity, forbids further improvement - if I improve tomorrow, the machine will bring the improvement yesterday, thus it was not an improvement.
Why did eagle land on the east crater of the moon?
It didn't. They overshot their intended landing point and were heading for West Crater and Armstrong took over manual control of the lunar module and landed it about a mile beyond to an area not covered with boulders.
