Summary[edit]
DescriptionCoal mill.jpg |
English: A water wheel for pumping out the Beamish Colliery, County Durham, north east England.
Although little known, these prime movers, then called coal mills, were more efficient than early steam engines, though they required a large catchment area to collect runoff water.. They are described in "The Coal Mills of Northeast England: The Use of Waterwheels for Draining Coal Mines, 1600-1750", by Eric Clavering, Technology and Culture , Apr., 1995, Vol. 36, No. 2 (Apr., 1995), pp. 211-241, The Johns Hopkins University Press and the Society for the History of Technology. |
