Abstract

This article gives an idea about the operative use of waterwheels in a river flow, which offers power generation with low cost. It also defines the working principle, calculations and design, challenges and applications beside the future scope of using Overshot and undershot waterwheels. In order to cover the enlarged demand for power in rural areas of Iraq, generated hydropower from waterwheels are one of the most promising solutions to produce electricity. Modern water wheels are made from steel which promising no harmful effects on the environment. In this research, two types of water wheels (Overshot and Undershot) are used to produce the electricity through fastening the waterwheel to a generator with the support of a belt and pulley arrangement, so the electrical energy resulted from mechanical energy. The full bridge rectifier is used to transfer electricity in its most effectual form while the regulator is used to adjust the current.
