waterwheel
Alternative spelling of water wheel
a large wheel that is turned by water and is used to drive machinery. Machine for tapping the energy of running or falling water (hence a prime mover) by means of a set of paddles or buckets mounted around a wheel. The force of the moving water against the paddles, or the weight of water poured into the buckets, rotates the wheel. The resulting power is transmitted to machinery via the shaft of the wheel. The waterwheel was perhaps the earliest source of mechanical energy to replace that of humans and animals, and it was first used for such tasks as raising water and grinding grain. See also waterpower
a wheel that rotates by direct action of water; a simple turbine a wheel with buckets attached to its rim; raises water from a stream or pond
{i} wheel turned by the flow of water thus producing energy
