Stream Wheel Mechanism and Rotation

An illustration showing a water wheel interacting with a flowing river. The lower section of the spoked wheel is submerged in the water, which is clearly marked as 'River' with an arrow indicating its flow direction. An accompanying arrow labeled 'Rotation' demonstrates the counter-clockwise turning motion of the wheel, driven by the force of the water against its paddles. This visual explains the basic principle of how a water wheel harnesses the energy from a stream to produce rotational power.
