In this model the rotation of a water wheel is transferred to another wheel with the help of a belt. A more simplified model may include a water wheel and a wooden bar that spins when the water wheel spins. Procedure: 1. Cut 2 same size circles of heavy cardboard with the radius of 4.5 inches each. 2.

When the wind blows, a vane/blade can be used to "catch" the wind and cause a shaft to turn. This energy can then be used to drive a mill, water pump, electrical generator, etc. Although beyond the scope of this project, windmill generators in practical use have rechargeable batteries to store the energy for times when the wind is not blowing.

Norse mill. (Show more) waterwheel, mechanical device for tapping the energy of running or falling water by means of a set of paddles mounted around a wheel. The force of the moving water is exerted against the paddles, and the consequent rotation of the wheel is transmitted to machinery via the shaft of the wheel.

Use a smaller bit like a 1/4-in bit for the four corner screw holes. Use a larger bit, like a 1/2-in drill bit, to make a pilot hole in the center of the 3-in hole. Then use the 1 3/8-in step bit to widen the hole. Go back to the 1/2-in bit and carefully shave off the extra material until the hole is 3 inches wide.

Waterwheel. A waterwheel is a type of device that takes advantage of flowing or falling water to generate power by using a set of paddles mounted around a wheel. The falling force of the water pushes the paddles, rotating a wheel. This rotation of a wheel can be transmitted to a variety of machines through a shaft at the center of the wheel. [1]

Wind is a free resource. It can be used to make electrical power. A wind generator is a machine that takes the forces in wind and changes them into power. A wind generator does a better job of making power if it is in a good location, which means one that has an average wind speed of 10-13 miles per hour, or better, for over a year.
