How does a water wheel run a grist mill?
A water wheel converts the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. When water flows over or into the wheel, it causes the wheel to turn. This rotational motion is transmitted to a series of gears and shafts connected to the mill's machinery, which then grinds grain into flour or meal. The efficiency of the water wheel's design and the flow rate of the water directly influence the mill's productivity.

Who made the water wheel?
The water wheel, an ancient technology for harnessing water power, does not have a single inventor but has been used since antiquity across various cultures. The earliest known water wheels date back to the Greeks in the 3rd century BCE, with Archimedes often credited for popularizing its use in irrigation. The design evolved over time, with significant contributions from Roman engineers and later medieval European innovations.

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 made the gristmill wheel turn?
The gristmill wheel turned primarily through the force of water. Water from a stream or river was diverted into a raceway, where it flowed over the wheel's blades, causing it to rotate. This mechanical motion was then harnessed to grind grain into flour. The efficiency of the wheel's design and the flow of water were crucial for effective operation.
What is a mill pond?

What is water wheel irrigation?
Water wheel irrigation is a method of using a water wheel, typically made of wooden or metal slats, to lift water from a river or canal to irrigate fields. The wheel is turned by the flow of water, and as it rotates, buckets or containers attached to the wheel scoop up water and release it onto a higher elevation for agricultural use. This technique is often employed in areas where traditional irrigation methods are impractical, providing an efficient way to harness natural water sources for farming. It has been used for centuries in various cultures around the world.
