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.

What device was developed to harness the power of moving water?

The device developed to harness the power of moving water is called a water turbine. Water turbines are mechanical devices that convert the energy from flowing or falling water into rotational mechanical energy. This energy can then be used to drive machinery or generate electricity in hydroelectric power plants. Water turbines come in various types such as Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines, each designed for different water flow and head conditions.
