History of a water mill house.

You can see a water mill house operated on the power of running water In Kangwon Province, South korea where there was a good source of water.

Waterwheels generally use the energy of moving streams.

The design of traditional water mills is centuries old. The traditional Korean water mill is of the vertical shaft type. It can be found alongside the rivers. To run these mills a channel is dug along the river to carry the water up to the mill-house. The gradient of the channel for the flow of the diverted water is less than the gradient of the river. In this manner water from the stream is tapped and routed through the chute, which then falls on the flat blades and makes waterwheel working.

It? a simple but an ingenious construction and can be maintained with simple understanding of the principles involved.

Children can make this model kit easily and have the understanding of the principle involved.
