About this clipart

This diagram depicts an overshot waterwheel, where water is delivered via a headrace to the top of the wheel, filling buckets and using gravity to generate torque. The wheel rotates clockwise (as shown), discharging water into the tailrace below. Unlike undershot designs, overshot wheels achieve high efficiency (up to 80%) by leveraging both kinetic and potential energy of the water.
Used in educational content on renewable energy history, hydropower fundamentals, or engineering curricula; ideal for users researching traditional water-powered machinery or sustainable pre-industrial technology.
