🌊 English Watermill: Overshot Wheel Bucket Fill, Spill and Torque Lab

Open the sluice above a Georgian mill's overshot wheel and watch 32 wooden buckets fill, carry and spill the water: bucket geometry sets how long the water is held, the torque and shaft power follow from the weight and lever arm of the water, and a live ODE finds the speed where the millstones balance the wheel. Includes an rpm sweep and an energy-bound check.
