Perpetual motion: Grinding mill driven by horizontal water wheel, which is itself
Perpetual motion: Grinding mill driven by horizontal water wheel, which is itself driven by water from a cistern. The wheel is supposed also to raise water to the cistern by an Archimedean screw. The wheel, C, has curved blades, an early form of water turbine. Engraving from Theatrum Machinarum Novum by George Andreas Bockler (Nuremberg, 1673)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1673 showcases an early invention that aimed to achieve perpetual motion. The print features a grinding mill driven by a horizontal water wheel, which itself is powered by water sourced from a cistern. In an ingenious design, the wheel also utilizes an Archimedean screw to raise water back up to the cistern. The centerpiece of this remarkable contraption is the curved-bladed wheel, resembling an early form of water turbine. Its purpose is not only to drive the grinding mill but also to generate enough force to lift water through the screw mechanism. This intricate interplay between physics and mechanics demonstrates the ingenuity of George Andreas Bockler's creation. Located in Nuremberg, this groundbreaking invention symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of perpetual motion and harnessing natural resources for practical purposes. Bockler's engraving captures both the beauty and complexity of his design, showcasing his mastery as an engineer. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of humanity's ceaseless quest for innovation and scientific advancement throughout history. It serves as a testament to our innate curiosity and determination in unraveling nature's mysteries while seeking solutions that improve our lives.
