The Segner wheel, also known as the Segner wheel or water wheel, is a type of hydraulic machine invented by the German engineer Jacob Segner in the 18th century. It is primarily a water-driven turbine, designed to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. The Segner wheel consists of a horizontal wheel with a series of curved blades or cups attached to its circumference. Water flows over these blades, causing the wheel to rotate.
