Clipart images of methods for producing power by water, including dams and water wheels.


Barker's Mill
The barker's mill is a device that rotates as water is poured in at top and comes out in opposite directions at the bottom....
Breast wheel
"In this water, instead of passing over, or entirely under the wheel, is delievered in the direction of its centre. This is one of the most common wheels, and is employed where there is not a sufficie...
Breast Wheel
"Water enters the wheel halfway up and flows against the slots on the wheel. The wheel rotates with the flow of the water and the stream continues out the bottom of the wheel." —Quackenbos 1859...
Breast-Wheel
Waterwheel....
Breast-wheel
"A wheel turned by the force of water which is level with its centre." — Williams, 1889...
Chain pump
"It consists of a number of square pieces of board, or of thin iron, connected together through their centres by iron rods, so that they can have no lateral motion..The ascending side of this chain pa...
Dam
A bank of earth, or any wall, or a frame of wood, to obstruct the flow of water....
Dam, Simple
An illustration of a simple dam; a dam is a barrier that impounds water or underground streams. Dams generally serve the primary purpose of retaining water, while other structures such as floodgates, ...
Mill
A watermill generating power....
Mill-Wheel
A mill wheel to generate power....
Overshot Wheel
"The Overshot wheel is a form of water wheel in which the water flows upon or near the top of the wheel. It acts principally by gravity, though some effect is of course due to the velocity with which ...
Overshot wheel
"This wheel of all others, gives the greatest power with the least quantity of water, and is, therefore, generally used when circumstances will permit, or where there is a considerable fall, with a li...
Overshot Wheel
"Wheel consists of flaps in the shape of buckets that are equally spaced. As water flows onto the wheel, the weight of the water in the buckets causes the wheel to rotate and empty the buckets." &mdas...
Pump, Suction
"A contrivance for raising liquids or for removing gases from vessels." -Marshall...
Tourniquet
Hydraulic tourniquet, also called Barker's mill. It consists of a vessel of water free to rotate about a vertical axis, and having at its lower end bent arms through which the water is discharged hor...
Turbine
"The most efficient form of water-wheel is the turbine, one form of which is shown." — Avery, 1895...
Turbine Wheel
"A waterwheel which the water enters and leaves at all points on its circumference." -Foster, 1921 ...
Turbine, Girard
"The general sectionl elevation of a Girard turbine, in which the flow is axial. The water, admitted above a horizontal floor, passes down through the annular wheel containing the guide-blades, G, an...
Turbine, reaction
"Professor James Thomson's inward flow or vortex turbine has been selected as the type of reaction turbines. It is one of the best even in normal conditions of working, and the mode of regulation int...

Turbine, water
"Water enters through J and K following into G and H compartments. Afterwards the water is forced into the outside compartments thus turning the wheel." —Quackenbos 1859...
Undershot wheel
"Thus constructed, this wheel moves equally well whether the water acts on one or the other side of the boards, and hence is employed for tide wheels, which turn in one direction when the tide is goin...
Undershot Wheel
"Waterwheel where the lowest flat-board is submerged in the running water. The water is often given its power from a slight inclination. This wheel is also often powered by the running water issued by...
