About this document
History and Function of Water Wheels by Iis Nurjamilah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Water wheels are machines that convert the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of power, often used to grind grain or power other machines. They consist of a large wheel with blades on the outside that are powered by moving water. The Romans developed water wheels extensively and used them for irrigation and mining. They later spread across Europe and were a major power source before being replaced by turbines in the Industrial Revolution.
