Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could simply be replaced by a natural or artificially created watercourse, for example to grind grain grains into grain. There are essentially two different types of drive for water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the watercourse is guided above the wheel and falls on the blades, with this design the natural gravity gives a higher efficiency.
