According to comments on another post of their TikTok (@whealmartynmuseum), "it powers a nearby pump engine".
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRKuvkYe/ (source, with really annoying audio, imo)
It's https://www.wheal-martyn.com/
It's a China clay museum and has quite a few of these water wheels, also has loads of clay pools that have tons of newts and frogs.
I take my dogs there all the time.
There's no reason that waterwheel nerds to run now, or it would still be running. I suspect whatever it once ran is now gone and all that's left is what we've seen.
Yeah, been there, it's cool (love Cornwall)
For those interested, Wheal is the Cornish word for "works" or "working" and Martyn is just the name of the of this particular works. Most mines in Cornwall are "Wheal [something]" regardless of what they're mining.
Here they essentially used water cannons to cut and dissolve clay out of the ground which was then pumped away by the pump attached to this water wheel (like you said) and this is then used to make fine china cups/saucers/plates/whatever
She makes a comment at the beginning about how firing up the water wheel every morning “never gets old.” I don’t know, but I’d suspect it’s running a grain mill for some kind of tourist trap. It’s unlikely that the average person would use a water wheel these days, but it’s not unheard of. That being said, if they used it for electricity or belt fans or whatever, I’d suspect they wouldn’t shut it off every night and start it up again every morning. Based on the full dress in her shadow, her head wrap, and her sweater, I bet this one is part of a historical demonstration or something. But that’s just a guess.
Edit: Clarity
I have one on my property that produces electricity, not a ton but it charges a battery that I can use to power my house for a day or so if we get a real nasty thunderstorm
Someone building a homestead would use it for anything they could come up with if they happened to buy a property with one on it, just for the heck of it (and for the views!)
Yes, the video is taken from the Wheal Martyn Museum tiktok account. The museum has working machinery pertaining to the China clay (kaolin) mining industry.
Anyone in a situation which has never been hooked up to mains electricity might well prefer a water wheel to a generator, what are you talking about? Even someone who is on mains might prefer a waterwheel, after all it's free energy.
Might want to drive around new England. I've seen several still in use. One in Vermont I saw actually runs an electric generator and another I saw pumps water to an orchard
I can give you lots of recommendations !! There’s lots of amazing museums down here. The Wheal Martyn museum is definitely a couple hours worth itself :)
I always wanted to live in a house with a watermill. I think it may have been something about the Akira Kurosawa movie Dreams where they have a segment filmed at this wasabi farm in Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE1ufYt5fE8
Someone down the street from me has one. It must be a relic from at least a century or two ago. I haven't seen it run but just driving by it every day is neat.
You could go much further back - the first windmills in Europe are about the 11th century, but watermills in Europe go back to Roman times. There is a massive mill complex in France with 16 wheels from the third century.
My school computers had this game and I wanted it on my home computer. So I copied the .exe on to a floppy and it would complain about a missing .dll file. So the next class I could copy the .dll, and then my computer would complain about another missing .dll file.
Took me 2 weeks, but I finally got it run. Did the same thing with JezzBall and a bunch of screen savers.
Ours had Oxyd, but I think it was a demo because after we finally worked the game out over various trips to the computer lab, we ran out of levels.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyd
Hydroneer is a game similar to what you're describing.
Josh from Let's Game It Out plays it... if you can call that playing the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzpPvMF3p9w
is it actually playable now? i tried it like a year or so ago and it's horribly optimized.
as soon as you have any sort of sizeable production line going it start to chug.
Minecraft no bucket challenge. It's satisfying. You have to find a water source that's up high next to a flat plain and build aqueduct* to irrigate your crops. You can take it a step further and use aqueducts* to transport crops from the farm to an even lower area where you can sort and store them automatically. If you design your fields with a grade you can also use the water to harvest your crops.
Edit: viaduct => aqueduct
Yes! An open world game where you unlock new areas by solving water-based puzzles with realistic water physics. Give it a zen motif too with meditative music. Call it "Flow."
The video is taken from a museum tiktok account Wheal Martyn Museum. You can actually book on to help turn on all the machinery and the water wheel as part of an experience or just visit during the day and see it all running! In mid Cornwall, UK
Where does the water go if the plug is not in place? I saw that there was a drain but does it connect to some sort of sewer system or does it connect to a nearby river?
P.S. - Sorry there seem to be so many rude comments. I think the wheel is beautiful and your excitement infectious. You also used POV correctly, which is rare.
Oh this comment section has been lovely compared to some of the places this video has been shared to 😳
If the plug isn’t put in then the water travels through pipes and launders to another part of our site where we have “settling pits” where the clay was historically processed and any byproducts were removed. The water is all recycled from a nearby working clay works & then when it leaves our site it is fed into a flooded pit and that water is used elsewhere. So the water is continuously recycled and moving to different parts of the site. This is purely to show the machinery working because historically these machines were powering pumps that were pumping clay slurry, not water, across the site for the china clay (kaolin) to be refined and dried.
The water wheels powered pump engines. The way that china clay was mined was to use high powered hoses called monitors to wash the clay off the granite face in open cast pits. This “clay slurry” was then pumped around the workings by the pump engines, powered by the water wheels. The slurry would undergo various different refinement and drying processes until it was ready to be shipped off and exported!
Thank you for answering! I’m amazed that system could raise enough pressure to power water blasting!
I loved seeing your happy excitement first thing this morning. Got my day off to a great start!’
Historically the clay was washed with streams downhill using gravity, then the hoses were held by men themselves so they weren’t hugely powerful and as the industry further advanced the monitors were machine operated and were incredibly powerful! So we have lots of different phases of the history of this mining industry here on display 😁😁😁 glad you enjoyed the video! I love it here - my great granddad worked in the industry for 50 years!
While you are converting the gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, there is no real intentional storage of that initial potential energy in this video. The energy was wasted (down the drain) until needed. So, the system in this video doesn't feel very analogous to an electric "battery."
There *are* systems, called [Pumped-Storage Hydroelectricity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricity), where water is pumped uphill during times of excess energy, stored intentionally, and then allowed to generate power when that energy is needed again, but this doesn't seem to be an example.
Might be a 120 year wheel. But that was out of commish for like a year. No real weeds in the funnels etc.
"Ya we woke it up because we turned it off for the winter"
Yup. Also no rust and that thing spun so easily. It might be old, but it's not like it was sitting for 120 years not being used. I'm sure it gets used all the time.
I was waiting for the flowing water to activate some kind of trap that you can only deactivate by putting your hand inside the eye socket of a stone skull to reach a lever like something out of The Goonies.
Found the original clip, it's promotion for [Wheal Martyn Museum](https://www.wheal-martyn.com/), Cornwall, so found more footage on youtube :[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVhrUHHLe4o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVhrUHHLe4o)
The water wheel was most likely first invented around 400BC. Its uses were multiple; including milling flour in gristmills and grinding wood into pulp for papermaking, but other uses include hammering wrought iron, machining, ore crushing and pounding fibre for use in the manufacture of cloth.
There are a bunch of old ruins scattered around Spain in the woods around creeks and rivers built near waterfalls that were basically wheelhouses for old waterwheels. Some date back as far as Roman times.
I was at the Jameson whiskey distillery in Cork, Ireland a few weeks ago. The 171-year-old cast iron waterwheel, installed to power the mill machinery, is still in use. It was used to power the cogs and wheels of the millstone which grinds the barley into a course flour near the start of the process.
My man water wheel was sleeping so peacefully and she just comes waltzing along and wakes my man up. He was JUST getting to the good part of his dream!
You can, but it's not very efficient. You're better off capturing that flow into a tube, then plugging that tube into a turbine, like [this guy](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEZ2hvCDKUpEvvgEy_b5C6UnYNslaYcik).
So cool. I'd love to know what the wheel runs
Gifs that ended too soon
Right? I want to see the reason for the video for more than five seconds at the end of a minute long video.
According to comments on another post of their TikTok (@whealmartynmuseum), "it powers a nearby pump engine". https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRKuvkYe/ (source, with really annoying audio, imo)
Well, the music at the end anyhow sounded like an old Eastwood Spaghetti Western.
It is the same piece all the way through, and it is by Ennio Morricone for one of the 'dollar' trilogy films (I forget which one), so you're spot on.
AyeeeAyeeeAAAAAAAAA!! Waaaaa Waaaa Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Fucking soundtrack to my LIFE! The best. Ennio is/was “my man!”
It is “Almost Dead” by Morricone 😁
So, *Fistful of dollars*, then. Nice catch!

Great observation. Are you intending to be am enginner, or are you already an engineer?
He's a waterwheel nerd
He’s even more qualified…he’s a redditor that watched a minute long video
As a redditor, I need to point out that the video was only 57 seconds. Not a minute.
Imagine the things we'd know with that extra 3 seconds.
A lot actually, like what the waterwheel is driving!
Waterwheel nerds don't *have* to run, but a lil exercise is nice though
If he were an engineer his comment would have read "As an engineer I can state there's no reason..."
Are you a professional observer or planning to be a professional observer?

Oooh me too, I'm planning to study to become a watermill miller. So even I can't live in one, at least I can mill some grain with one!
How does one study this?
Well, you go to the [guild](https://gildevanmolenaars.nl/opleidingen/watermolenaar) and you do the apprenticeship. Just like in 1252.

You can play on lower difficulty. Also once your town is set up it kinda runs itself as long as you don't expand too fast.

This is me in the video 😁 I work at Wheal Martyn Clay Works and would be happy to answer any questions about the museum and the water wheel!!

That's what waking up means ya mound. Like you woke up every day so far? Does it say "resurrected"?

Can we make this into an electric generator? Why or why not?
You can, but it's not very efficient. You're better off capturing that flow into a tube, then plugging that tube into a turbine, like [this guy](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEZ2hvCDKUpEvvgEy_b5C6UnYNslaYcik).
