The Waterwheel


 * ** The waterwheel was invented to make flour for food by grinding corn until it is in a flour form. **
 * ** It was invented by Bi Lan in the Han Dynasty. **
 * ** Waterwheels were first invented in 400 BC. **
 * ** Waterwheels were first invented for grinding flour until later when the chinese used it in water for helping with irrigation. **
 * ** It was made in China by taking a wheel and putting slabs of wood all around the outside of the wheel to lift water or grind corn into flour. **
 * ** Then it was used to grind flour and lift water for irrigation, but now we can make them generate power. **
 * ** Waterwheels work by the wooden slabs lift the water up, so there is irragation. **
 * ** While rotating the slabs of wood would smash and grind the corn into flour.[[image:kronerinventions/water wheel.jpg caption="A waterwheel generating power for a home"]] **
