How does an undershot water wheel work?

In an undershot water wheel, the wheel turns as a result of the weight of the water. The water flows into the wheel, stops and then when the wheel turns the water flows out underneath the wheel. It is used when you do not have a big head of water. In the overshot wheels the water pushes the wheel and then flows over the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel uses both the weight and the momentum of the water and so are more efficient and powerful.

How does a water wheel do work?

A water wheel uses the force of flowing water to turn its blades. As the blades rotate, they transfer this mechanical energy to a shaft connected to machinery or a generator, allowing the water wheel to perform work such as grinding grain or generating electricity.

What would happen to the rotation speed of the water wheel If distance is reduced?

If the distance from the water source to the water wheel is reduced, the rotation speed of the wheel would likely increase. This is because the water would flow more freely and quickly to the wheel, providing a greater volume and pressure of water that can drive the wheel. Consequently, the increased water flow would enhance the wheel's ability to rotate faster, assuming other factors, such as the wheel's design and water flow rate, remain constant.


How was the overshot wheel an improvement over the undershot wheel?

The overshot wheel was an improvement over the undershot wheel because it allowed for creating more force on the water so the wheel moved faster. The undershot wheel has a drag factor because water is gotten at the bottom of the wheel and has to be carried up to the top of the wheel. The overshot wheel has water flowing into the buckets at the top of the wheel forcing it downward.
