A waterwheel is an age-old mechanical device that harnesses the power of flowing water to generate rotational energy. It consists of a large wheel, made of wood or metal, with a series of buckets or paddles attached to its periphery. As water flows into these buckets, they fill up and become heavy, causing the wheel to rotate. This simple yet effective invention has been used for centuries in various applications, including powering mills and irrigation systems.
