Water wheel powering a hammer and bellows
Water powered forge. Water wheel (at right) powering a hammer (at lower centre) and bellows (at centre left) in a forge. The wheel is connected to the hammer and bellows by a crank system. This mechanism lifts the hammer and allows it to fall under its own weight onto a sheet of metal which a worker has placed on an anvil.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the technological marvels of the 16th century. In this historical image, we are transported back to a time when water wheels were harnessed to power essential machinery in forges. At the heart of this scene stands an impressive water wheel, positioned at the right side of the frame, diligently churning away as it harnesses the energy from flowing water. The ingenuity lies in its connection to a hammer and bellows through a meticulously designed crank system. This mechanism allows for precise control over lifting and dropping the hammer onto a sheet of metal resting on an anvil. The weighty force generated by gravity alone is enough to shape and mold these metals under skilled hands. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, one cannot help but be captivated by how such innovative technology was employed centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity and resourcefulness in utilizing natural elements like water to drive industrial processes. This remarkable image taken from J. de Strada's "Kunstliche Abriss allerhand Wasser- Wind- Ross- und Handt Mullen" (1617) offers us not only insight into early engineering feats but also reminds us of our rich scientific heritage that paved the way for modern advancements in energy utilization.
