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.
A turbine or water wheel,
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.

Yes, Sumerians did invent the water wheel. In fact the Sumerians invented the wheel.
A water wheel with buckets is called a noria
The Tagalog translation for "Norse god" is "diyos ng mga Norse."
A water wheel uses the force of flowing water to turn its blades. As the blades rotate, they transfer this mechanical energy to a shaft connected to machinery or a generator, allowing the water wheel to perform work such as grinding grain or generating electricity.
