Harnessing the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention, documented as early as pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a design, a watercourse – natural or artificial – could easily replace human or animal muscle power, for example, to grind grain into corn. There are essentially two drive variants for watermills: Either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades. This design utilizes natural gravity to achieve greater efficiency.
