  • Quaranta, Emanuele
  • Revelli, Roberto

Abstract

Breastshot water wheels were in widespread use in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth century for the production of energy; although they represent an economic, efficient and sustainable technology, only a small amount of research has been paid to water wheels nowadays, in particular to the breastshot ones.
