(1) It is no different in function from the waterwheel on the old mill.(2) Because of the size of the engine, it is started using power from the waterwheel , which is on the opposite side of the mill, through the main drive shaft.(3) By 1812 Jefferson had three threshing machines in operation, two powered by horses and one by a waterwheel .(4) A sluice gate, half hidden behind the roof of the mill, controls the water to power the waterwheel .(5) The huge waterwheel drove two pumps and the lathe.(6) A stone basin, sealed with pitch, was added later, to combat the problem of silting, and this provided drinking water for ships; it also powered a small waterwheel used to raise water from the basin.(7) Near the bridge is an old mill complete with a waterwheel which has been restored by the same Trust which looks after the Heritage Centre.(8) The lower stone was fixed and the upper one turned by the machinery (driven by a waterwheel in this case).(9) On weekends, you can witness the mill in operation; the waterwheel provides a never-ending display of splashes in the sunlight.(10) Power was needed, so he slung a waterwheel in a nearby stream and added a steam auxiliary generator for good measure.(11) The remains appear to represent the base of the wheel pit for a vertical waterwheel .(12) Her father eventually made a waterwheel down by the river to charge a car battery and ran a radio from that.(13) Surviving machinery includes a waterwheel , shaft and stones, although it hasn't worked since the 1920s.(14) In early medieval Europe, waterwheels powered olive presses, crushed mash, drove pumps, and operated the bellows of the blacksmith's furnace and forge.(15) He also designed waterwheels in Ulm and made mathematical and surveying instruments, particularly ones with military applications.(16) He applied mechanics to improve turbines and waterwheels more than doubling the efficiency of the waterwheel.
