Power

Good Morning,
Living on a year round creek is great. We can experiment with different ways of producing power with water.
Last year we built an undershot water wheel with wood and put it in the creek where an old beaver dam is.
The water wheel produced a bit of power, but not what we could use for anything.
It could be that the wooden paddles are too heavy, as it doesn't turn fast enough.
This summer we may try using metal paddles. The paddles would be a lot lighter and perhaps then we could generate enough power to run something.
