Waterwheel (Part-2)

Alexander's choice of angle 45 was easy- Because it was the most optimal one.

This is because any less and the water would fall out before reaching the maximum bottom of the wheel, thus losing out on some of the gravitational potential energy.

And any more and some of the water will be leftover even when the bucket reaches the lowest point, making the apparatus waste energy by again bringing the water up.

"That's all there is to the milling wheel- just take some wood, make them carved on the inside to make them like buckets, attach each of them at 45 degrees with one other, and then hold the entire thing together with thick wooden panels," Alexander finished explaining the most important structure of a waterwheel.
