The Norse water wheel, often referred to as a watermill, was primarily used for grinding grains such as wheat and barley into flour. It harnessed the power of flowing water to turn a large wheel, which in turn activated a series of gears and mechanisms to facilitate the milling process. This innovation greatly increased efficiency and productivity in food production, significantly impacting Norse agricultural practices. Additionally, it could be adapted for other uses, such as sawing wood or processing ores.

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.
