A water wheel with radial blades B rotates around a horizontal axis S. The blades seal against a curved bed section C. The wheel is driven (i.e. works in reverse) and pumps water, raising it by a vertical distance H. The wheel lifts water with high efficiency over low head differences, e.g. for algae ponds or irrigation schemes. The blades of the wheel can be radial, inclined or curved. |
