Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Abel explains as she turns the little water wheel in her hand in a circle.

"We were told to make a model of the water wheel, and we first thought about determining the size of the water wheel. It is generally said that water wheels should be larger if they are larger, but we wanted to know exactly how large they should be and how different their performance can be when they are larger."

Inquiry alone seemed to say the lord couldn't, so I can afford to just pinch a light mouth.

"Because if it's just one unit, you can build the biggest one you can on the site you plan to build, but when it comes to building 10 units, and building a water wheel of the same size, you thought you needed to carefully determine the diameter of the size.

Uh, why make it the same size, this is the deputy's request, but what did you say... "

Abel tells the story here, so I'll answer.

"Standardization, right? The idea is to use the same materials, weights, and shapes to allow for mutual exchange."

"That's the one called standardization. If you ask me, waterwheel boards and frames use several parts of the same size and shape, or else the center will be uneven. We're just talking about making that the same thing with other waterwheels, right? That's why I decided to build water wheels of various sizes and try them out"

What Abel's doing is the experiment itself.

"So, first of all, I thought I couldn't measure specifically how efficient the water wheel is. The water wheel turns the stone molar to mill the wheat, so we tried to measure how much we could turn the stone molar in a determined amount of water. Specifically, you decide to flush a glass of water into the pipe, and you put yarn and light weight on the axle of the water wheel to see how much yarn you can wind up. Words alone are hard to understand, so let's give it a shot."

Set the water wheel to the model, and when Abel signals Craig, Craig tilts the water bucket and runs water down the woodwind.

Then, the water that came out of the tip of the pipe in momentum turns the water wheel in circles.

The turning water wheel winds up the heavy yarn.

"This, how much weight you can wind up, is going to be the efficiency of a waterwheel, so to speak. Measure this and you'll see efficiency. That's how we decided to make the right water wheel, the right size."

The story so far has been surprising enough, but what Abel went on to say was more than that.

"So, at one point, the woodwind came off because of too much water, and the way the water was run was wrong. As you can see, the woodwinds represent the flow of the river, so we try to flow water under the water wheel, but the pipe came off, so the water flowed from above. Here, let there be water on the water wheel."

In line with the description, Abel moves the position of the water outlet of the woodwind to the top of the water wheel.

The spilled water hits the model's water wheel and turns it out.

"Then, we got around to it with unprecedented momentum. I'm not sure how it works, but I thought it would be easier to turn around because the weight of the water would be on the water wheel, and I tried it at some heights. Then again, the most efficient method is to call from the top. It was surprising, but even from the heights along the way, even from the top of the water wheel, efficiency increases. However, it is definitely more efficient to come from a higher place"

Release your hands from the model and tighten the explanation for Abel's lengthening.

"In short, to conclude, I believe that the diameter of the water wheel should either be aligned with the waterfall of the river in the territory or not at all. If there is a high altitude on the hand side of the water source, or mountain, wait for the results of the survey to determine the water wheel according to the height from there to the river level. If there's no difference, it's going to make the water wheel as big as possible."

In other words, the installation of efficient waterwheels is key to the waterway construction of the territory.

Indeed, I remember that the water wheel I had seen in the original world had something like water on it.

Does that mean that was efficient?
