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.
