I'm going to tell you about watermills.
The watermill is a machine that is used for water. The watermill has a water wheel to drive a mechanical process such as grinding, milling and hammering. It also be used in the America and the United Kingdom. I saw a watermill in St Augustine a long time ago. It may be gristmills, sawmills, paper mills, textile mills, hammermills, trip hammering mills, rolling mills and wire drawing mills.
The parts of the water wheel has hub, paddles, water trough and running stream. Inside of the water mill, it has a drive shaft, vertical gear, lantern gear, spindle and millstones. It also has gearing mechanism. Gearing is a the transmission of rotation between contacting toothed wheels. It has a cylindrical teeth. It also known as a tide mill. Tide mill is in Portugal.
The water can hit the wheel paddle and into the undershot, overshot, breastshot and pitchback. Some of the watermills in Italy is Shipmills. A Ship mill is on a floating platform. It is similar to the paddle steamer. I wonder if Mom and I can go see the Tide mill in Portugal this Summer. A Ship mill is a Italian water mill and Tide mill is a Portuguese water mill. Watermill is for English.
