Water Wheels

Overshot Water Wheel

Use the 'Combine Shape' options to construct your water wheel. Experiment by trying and testing different designs.

Does adding a wall improve the design?

Water Turbines

Modern turbines use higher water pressure and spin faster than traditional water wheels.

Use 'collision layers' to construct yours so that it is as efficient and effective as you can make it.

This one (in the video) doesn't work particularly well. How can it be improved?

Algodoo Script Menu

The script menu gives great control. This website give an overview:
