THE POWER TRAIN / EXPLAINED

Water becomes a hammer stroke.

Water descends through a timber headrace onto the wheel's buckets. Torque turns the oak axle and its iron lift cams. Each cam lifts the hammer helve; once released, the head falls under gravity to shape heated metal on the anvil. The model separates established principles from undocumented local dimensions.

ABOUT THIS RECONSTRUCTION

This is an original interpretive 3D artwork, not a scan or measured replica. Historic dates and authentic measurements are attributed in the full educational article. The physics calculator is illustrative; conditions at the monument vary with river flow and equipment state.
