Water wheel design

I didn’t study the physics of water wheels, but it seems correct to me

Seems right? It is magically turning against the flow of the river.
oh yeah, I didn’t even notice that…
Well, that’s interesting how could they manage to put it in like that

You’re right – but technically, I think the problem is that there should be a channel of water that goes over the top of the wheel, and drops water DOWN onto the wheel. These are called “overshot” wheels and use gravity to help move the wheel; they’re more effective than the standard “undershot” wheel.
So it’s probably that the original design had this channel, and the current design has it missing – mainly because of that water particle effect.
yeah, i’v seen that kind of water wheel
but those aren’t usually placed on rivers, they’r used on calm waters
that’s why i found this one so weird, hahahaha!!
and it even has the water effect of the “overshot”, but no overshot in it!
