BigDWater has powered industry for centuries. This undershot waterwheel powered a flour mill. One of a number on The Whanganui river, but the only one restored.
Something about waterwheels, belts and flywheels is so simple yet so productive in producing power.
And it is a constant source in a river.
Just like generating electricity, but with no middle man.
Hmm.

"While no longer common, #WaterWheels have an ancient history for use in #blacksmithing, #milling flour, and more.
"In the late 1800’s, they started to see commercial use for generating electricity.
"Though they are not as popular for energy generating today, many people still build them for use in low-flow areas, or as a fish-safe alternative to dams."
