The 15 pages that link to Water wheel, each with the reason it gives.

• Steam engineCompared with: It provides mechanical power directly from moving water, without boiling a working fluid.

• HamaNarrower topic: The norias belong to the wider family of water-powered wheels.

• TurbineCompared with: Water wheels are historical predecessors that generally use simpler, slower flow interaction.

• Water frameRelated: Water wheels supplied the motion that drove the frame’s rollers and spindles.

• Archimedes' screwCompared with: Water wheels harness a stream’s motion directly, whereas the screw usually lifts or conveys water along an incline.

• Water pumpCompared with: It extracts energy from moving water, whereas a pump consumes energy to move water.

• WatermillBroader topic: Its blades or buckets capture the water’s force and turn the mill’s drive shaft.

• WheelBroader topic: It converts a water source’s motion into power for mills and other machines.

• Cromford MillRelated: Water from the Bonsall Brook drove the mill’s machinery through a water wheel.

• Water turbineCompared with: It is a simpler predecessor that converts water motion into rotation by a different design.

• Samuel SlaterRelated: A waterwheel transmitted river power to the spinning machinery in Slater’s mill.

• Saint Anthony FallsNarrower topic: Waterwheels show how the falls’ drop could be converted into mechanical energy.

• Stamp millRelated: Water wheels powered many early stamp mills where streams supplied dependable energy.

• ShadoofCompared with: Water wheels can lift water continuously, while a shadoof requires repeated human operation.

• Trip hammerRelated: Water wheels supplied the power that drove many historic trip hammers.
