The Persian wheel, also known as the "sakkia," is a traditional water-lifting device used primarily in arid regions for irrigation. It consists of a large wheel mounted on a horizontal axle, with buckets attached to its circumference. As the wheel rotates, the buckets dip into a water source, such as a river or well, and lift water to the surface. The water is then poured into irrigation channels or storage tanks, enabling efficient agricultural practices in areas with limited water supply.
Cast iron
The base is made of aluminum.
Iron is not commonly used to make water pipes due to its susceptibility to corrosion, especially when in contact with water and oxygen. This corrosion can lead to rust formation, which not only degrades the pipe material but can also contaminate the water supply. Additionally, iron pipes can be heavy and difficult to install, making alternatives like PVC and copper more favorable for plumbing applications.

water wheel or water turbine
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.
In a water turbine.
Provide energy.
for me
It can be used to actuate a mechanism, such as a water wheel or water turbine.
Water wheels make electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water to turn a turbine connected to a generator. As the water flows over the wheel, it causes it to rotate, which in turn spins the turbine. The spinning turbine then generates electricity through the connected generator, which can be used to power homes and businesses.
Beach scarves make good towels, but check the material first to make sure it can handle the water.
The water runs into cups and the wheel rotates under the weight of it
Copper used to be very common, now many kinds of plastics are used. PEX is one of the most popular.
