Working Models of Ancient & Medieval Water Raising Machines.

The two main functions of water wheels were historically water-lifting for irrigation purposes and as a power source. When used for water-lifting power can be supplied by either human or animal force or by the water current itself.

Water wheels come in two basic designs, either a vertical or a horizontal axle. The latter type can be subdivided, depending on where the water hits the wheel, into backshot, overshot, breastshot and undershot wheels.
