A '''water wheel''' is a {{L|machine component}} that provides {{L|power}} via water {{L|flow}}. To build a water wheel, select {{key|b}}uild menu and choose {{key|M}}achine components. It requires 3 {{L|wood|wood}} and generates 90 net power, which can be used for operating a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|mill}}. You can use {{L|axle|axles}} and {{L|Gear assembly|gears}} to access the power produced by a water wheel, or connect machinery like a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|millstone}} directly.

Waterwheels do ''not'' work with waterfalls, nor in magma - it takes water that is flowing according to the DF use of the term.

''For a basic overview of how the different machine parts work and work together, see {{L|machinery}}.''

== Construction ==
The {{L|Building_designer|architecture}} and {{L|Carpenter|carpentry}} labors are needed for the construction.

A water wheel occupies 3 adjacent tiles (N-S or E-W axis, no diagonals). It is the color of the first wood selected for it, so you could build a red wheel with one piece of goblin-cap and two of fungiwood.

Although you can build a stable water wheel on solid ground, this isn't going to do you any good. For this reason, water wheels are almost exclusively built in a hanging state with gaps in the floor below. To do this, build the water wheel on the z level directly above a water tile. The tile where the wheel is built should be open space (you can channel out a tile if necessary). A gear assembly or horizontal axle built on an adjacent tile will be necessary to support the wheel. Do not hang it from a gear assembly you wish to control with a switch, as a disconnected gear assembly can't support anything and will cause the waterwheel to deconstruct when toggled.

{{L|Power}} is generated from a water wheel as long as it has {{L|flow}}ing water at a depth of 4/7 or greater under at least one of its tiles. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing the water wheel over a {{L|river}} or {{L|brook}}. With a brook you must first channel through the surface since brooks have a floor of sorts over them.

You can transport the power wherever it is needed via horizontal and vertical axles and gear assemblies. It is possible to support a waterwheel by building its center next to a preexisting water wheel's center.

This is by no means the limit of water power from one location, depending on the width of your river/brook/channel you can stack many waterwheels side-by-side (really big assembles will need to be artificial as there's a limit to how wide the game created water flows get). Just remember to make sure there's a support structure in place before you place the next wheel.

== Perpetual motion ==

Due to the relatively low power draw of a {{L|screw pump}}, a ''self-powering'' assembly can be made with a water wheel that still leaves plenty of excess power for other uses. This is an {{L|exploit}} (violating basics principles of physics), and possibly a bug, but this is also Dwarf Fortress, so...

To get it working, you must start the pump manually.*

:''(* Exceptions are {{L|aquifer}}s, which can sometimes have naturally occurring {{L|flow}}. This is sometimes a good thing, because then a wheel simply works by itself - or a bad thing, if, for example, you want the wheel to '''not''' provide any power while you build a pump adjacent to it. It's not clear what causes an aquifer to have flow and then keep it - it's difficult to replicate reliably, and can be lost with additional {{L|channel}}ing, so designs will have to be adapted if such are found.)''

It is good to have a ready source of water to refill the machine, as water tends to escape and evaporate, and once the water falls below a certain level, the machine stops. Below an earlier level, the power supply becomes intermittent.

Dig the V-shaped channel and fill it with water (either from an outside source or by designating it as a {{L|pond}}). Meanwhile, construct the pump, pumping from the South. Construct the two water wheels. Start the pump manually ( {{k|q}}, {{k|Enter}} ) - if there is enough water*, the "reactor" will start immediately and the pump operator will leave. The water from the north end of the pump will spill over the top-most floor tile, filling that to 7/7 and the two tiles east and west of it to ~5/7, but will not overflow back past the water wheel to the walkway area. Note that for the upper level, no southern walls are shown as none are needed, unless you don't follow the design and do something to create water pressure.

*''(* Estimated minimum depth to prime the reactor is 3/7 to 4/7, though this is not guaranteed.)''
* The ideal amount of water in this design is apparently 63 units of water. In other words six tiles below in the V are full up to 7/7 and three more above are also full up to 7/7 which will generate reliable flow permanently without ever losing any of that water to evaporation. An easy way to do this is to simply leave your pond fill command on after the reactor activates. They will eventually fill it up to the optimal level and stop.

The reactor can be safely halted either by blocking the tile the pump draws water from or "overloading" the reactor (since drawing more power than the reactor supplies will stop the pump that keeps the cycle going until the load is reduced and the pump is manually restarted by dorf-power), More drastically, the reactor will obviously be halted by deconstructing the pump. Deconstructing one wheel will cause a flood (and almost immediately cancel any job order to deconstruct the other components), and deconstructing the pump will cause both wheels to collapse (unless they are attached to {{L|machinery}} outside them, not shown).

{{L|Power}} can routed up from the pump or off to the side from a wheel; the bottom of the pump is difficult to access without danger of water escaping. Routing power from a wheel is typically safe in practice, but it's not impossible for a small amount of water to escape the reactor if it is temporarily overfilled. Power can also be routed out of the reactor via a gear or horizontal axle over the pump's intake tile; while this does not interfere with the pump's operation or present a danger of flooding, it makes it more difficult to shut down the reactor. In either case, it's typically wise to place a {{L|gear assembly}} linked to a {{L|lever}} early in the power train in order to allow disconnecting the power at that point, as opposed to needing to halt the entire reactor to stop the power supply.

Expanded versions can produce more power, and can be added later with minimal advance planning; such extensibility is easily attainable by placing disengageable gears on either side of the two water wheels, then attaching minireactors at your leisure, or halting the original reactor by other means. Alternatively, it may be easier to simply produce a second reactor, then connect to the power train at another location.

''Note: If created in an aquifer, there is a chance that the channeled tiles will have a natural {{L|flow|water flow}} - this will cause the pump to start the moment the first wheel is finished, flooding the work area for the second.''

===Mini Water Reactor===

This even more compact design is quite similar to the original Dwarven Water Reactor, but can be used in tight spots that do not need more than 80 surplus power. This plan can also be considered an extension unit to the DWR, in that it can be added to one or the other side to provide an additional 80 power to the resulting power train. Safely constructing a mini reactor to add to a previously built reactor without potential flooding and/or loss of power is possible only if you first turn off the original reactor. Planning ahead is a much better option, so if you're going to need more than 170 power, build a larger reactor to start with.

As stated previously, the design below produces 80 surplus power (less additional power train).

Construction of the mini reactor follows the same order as for the DWR, though the channel is slightly different and only one water wheel is needed. If this is an addition to a full size reactor or set of reactors, all channels will need to be fairly full with water to start the reactor.

walkways shown are sufficient
for construction and later
access to pressure plates
from north or south, all
without walls outside of
the four-tile width.

turn any hallway in your
fortress into a machine of
madness effortlessly!

this is the best tested
design, if you couldn't tell.

space must be channelled
though both the floor above
the pump and the floor
between the two uncolored
gears. (the grate shown
is to circumvent the
walkability issue that this
would otherwise produce.)

it's completely possible to
fill the reactor chamber to
the brim after it's been
started; this may make it
slightly easier to insure it
never goes dry.

i don't think a full reactor
is necessarily necessary
here. only one of the
repeater pumps should be
running at any given time,
and as such a mini reactor
should do just fine.

if you'd like to connect all
the pressure plates on the
bottom level to the same work
area as the middle level,
connect them with six doors,
then put one additional door
north of the red plate, and
a ramp north of that.

A water wheel occupies 3 adjacent tiles (N-S or E-W axis, no diagonals). It is the color of the first wood selected for it, so you could build a red wheel with one piece of goblin-cap and two of fungiwood.

Although you can build a stable water wheel on solid ground, this isn't going to do you any good. For this reason, water wheels are almost exclusively built in a hanging state with gaps in the floor below. To do this the water wheel must be attached to a nearby machine component on either side of its center tile. Do not hang it from a gear assembly you wish to control with a switch, a disconnected gear assembly can't support anything and will cause the waterwheel to deconstruct.

{{L|Power}} is generated from a water wheel as long as it has {{L|water_flow|flowing}} water at a depth of 4/7 or greater under at least one of its tiles. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing the water wheel over a {{L|river|river}} or {{L|brook|brook}}. With a {{L|brook}} you must first channel through the surface since brooks have a floor of sorts over them.

You can transport the power wherever it is needed via horizontal and vertical axles and gear assemblies. It is possible to support a waterwheel by building its center next to a preexisting water wheel's center.

This is by no means the limit of water power from one location, depending on the width of your river/brook/channel you can stack many waterwheels side-by-side (really big assembles will need to be artificial as there's a limit to how wide the game created water flows get). Just remember to make sure there's a support structure in place before you place the next wheel.

== Perpetual motion ==

Due to the relatively low power draw of a {{L|screw pump}}, a ''self-powering'' assembly can be made with a water wheel that still leaves plenty of excess power for other uses. This is an {{L|exploit}} (violating basics principles of physics), and possibly a bug, but this is also Dwarf Fortress, so...

To get it working, you must start the pump manually.*

:''(* Exceptions are {{L|aquifer}}s, which can sometimes have naturally occurring {{L|flow}}. This is sometimes a good thing, because then a wheel simply works by itself - or a bad thing, if, for example, you want the wheel to '''not''' provide any power while you build a pump adjacent to it. It's not clear what causes an aquifer to have flow and then keep it - it's difficult to replicate reliably, and can be lost with additional {{L|channel}}ing, so designs will have to be adapted if such are found.)''

It is good to have a ready source of water to refill the machine, as water tends to escape and evaporate, and once the water falls below a certain level, the machine stops. Below an earlier level, the power supply becomes intermittent.

Dig the V-shaped channel and fill it with water (either from an outside source or by designating it as a {{L|pond}}). Meanwhile, construct the pump, pumping from the South. Construct the two water wheels. Start the pump manually ( {{k|q}}, {{k|Enter}} ) - if there is enough water*, the "reactor" will start immediately and the pump operator will leave. The water from the north end of the pump will spill over the top-most floor tile, filling that to 7/7 and the two tiles east and west of it to ~5/7, but will not overflow back past the water wheel to the walkway area. Note that for the upper level, no southern walls are shown as none are needed.

*''(* Estimated minimum depth to prime the reactor is 3/7 to 4/7, though this is not guaranteed.)''
* The ideal amount of water in this design is apparently 63 units of water. In other words six tiles below in the V are full up to 7/7 and three more above are also full up to 7/7 which will generate reliable flow permanently without ever losing any of that water to evaporation. An easy way to do this is to simply leave your pond fill command on after the reactor activates. They will eventually fill it up to the optimal level and stop.

The reactor can be safely halted either by blocking the tile the pump draws water from or "overloading" the reactor (since drawing more power than the reactor supplies will stop the pump that keeps the cycle going until the load is reduced and the pump is manually restarted by dorf-power), More drastically, the reactor will obviously be halted by deconstructing the pump. Deconstructing one wheel will cause a flood (and almost immediately cancel any job order to deconstruct the other components), and deconstructing the pump will cause both wheels to collapse (unless they are attached to {{L|machinery}} outside them, not shown).

{{L|Power}} can routed up from the pump or off to the side from a wheel; the bottom of the pump is difficult to access without danger of water escaping. Routing power from a wheel is typically safe in practice, but it's not impossible for a small amount of water to escape the reactor if it is temporarily overfilled. Power can also be routed out of the reactor via a gear or horizontal axle ''over'' the tile the pump draws water from with neither interference in the pump's operation, danger of flooding, nor increased difficulty in designating and using pond zones to initialize the reactor. In either case, it's typically wise to place a {{L|gear assembly}} linked to a {{L|lever}} early in the power train in order to allow disconnecting the power at that point, as opposed to needing to halt the entire reactor to stop the power supply.

Expanded versions can produce more power, and can be added later with minimal advance planning; such extensibility is easily attainable by placing disengageable gears on either side of the two water wheels, then attaching minireactors at your leisure, or halting the original reactor by other means. Alternatively, it may be easier to simply produce a second reactor, then connect to the power train at another location.

''Note: If created in an aquifer, there is a chance that the channeled tiles will have a natural {{L|water flow}} - this will cause the pump to start the moment the first wheel is finished, flooding the work area for the second.''

===Mini Water Reactor===

This even more compact design is quite similar to the original Dwarven Water Reactor, but can be used in tight spots that do not need more than 80 surplus power. This plan can also be considered an extension unit to the DWR, in that it can be added to one or the other side to provide an additional 80 power to the resulting power train. Safely constructing a mini reactor to add to a previously built reactor without potential flooding and/or loss of power is possible only if you first turn off the original reactor with floor hatches. Planning ahead is a much better option, so if you're going to need more than 170 power, build a larger reactor to start with.

As stated previously, the design below produces 80 surplus power (less additional power train).

Construction of the mini reactor follows the same order as for the DWR, though the channel is slightly different and only one water wheel is needed. If this is an addition to a full size reactor or set of reactors, all channels will need to be fairly full with water to start the reactor.

Implementation of bridges appears to have changed significantly since earlier versions -- Dwarven atom smashers are now functional only in a small subset of their previous roles.

A DAS still works fine as a trash compactor to smash boulders, items, and fluids straight into oblivion.

The performance of a DAS on creatures is a bit of a draw bag. It's well known that special creatures with a certain size will make it impossible to raise a drawbridge they are standing on as well as cause a drawbridge to immediately deconstruct if lowered upon the creature; however, it also appears to be true that groups of lesser creatures which are individually subject to atomizing death may be similarly immune to the DAS when in sizeable groups.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down, and it's also
quite difficult to have the
reactor under the repeater
because one can't get past
the pressure plate layer.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

i don't think a full reactor
is necessarily necessary
here. only one of the
repeater pumps should be
running at any given time,
and as such a mini reactor
should do just fine.

if you'd like to connect all
the pressure plates on the
bottom level to the same work
area as the middle level,
connect them with six doors,
then put one additional door
north of the red plate, and
a ramp north of that.

walkways shown are sufficient
for construction and later
access to pressure plates
from north or south, all
without walls outside of
the four-tile width.

turn any hallway in your
fortress into a machine of
madness effortlessly!

this is the best tested
design, if you couldn't tell.

space must be channelled
though both the floor above
the pump and the floor
between the two uncolored
gears. (the grate shown
is to circumvent the
walkability issue that this
would otherwise produce.)

it's completely possible to
fill the reactor chamber to
the brim after it's been
started; this may make it
slightly easier to insure it
never goes dry.

:The "tall" and the "wide" designs are really just standard dwarven reactors thrown all-up-ons a four stage repeater perfected elsewhere.

:The "two-step twink" design pattern is a significantly more optomized and compact two stage repeater design, and planned with walkability during and after construction in mind.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down, and it's also
quite difficult to have the
reactor under the repeater
because one can't get past
the pressure plate layer.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

i don't think a full reactor
is necessarily necessary
here. only one of the
repeater pumps should be
running at any given time,
and as such a mini reactor
should do just fine.

if you'd like to connect all
the pressure plates on the
bottom level to the same work
area as the middle level,
connect them with six doors,
then put one additional door
north of the red plate, and
a ramp north of that.

i don't think a full reactor
is necessarily necessary
here. only one of the
repeater pumps should be
running at any given time,
and as such a mini reactor
should do just fine.

if you'd like to connect all
the pressure plates on the
bottom level to the same work
area as the middle level,
connect them with six doors,
then put one additional door
north of the red plate, and
a ramp north of that.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down, and it's also
quite difficult to have the
reactor under the repeater
because one can't get past
the pressure plate layer.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

It makes sense that short-trigger devices stay in the ON state permanently or near-permanently. If you examine the state of the pressure plate in a thought experiment, it stays ON for 100 steps after having its water removed, then switches to OFF, toggling the pump above . . . and replacing the water on the plate within a very few steps (probably less than 3), setting it immediately back to ON. --[[User:Shinziril|Shinziril]] 04:24, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

I just tested it, and it doesn't appear to work in v31.06.

The bottom pump readily grabs water falling from the top pump before the water ever has a chance to touch the bottom pressure plate, and the two pumps just end up juggling water in midair and creating mist (and creating more water out of nowhere as they run, interestingly, but that's another matter).

I've tested my implementation and I'm fairly certain my diagnosis is correct; nothing attached to the bottom plate ever triggers unless I disable power to the pumps, thus giving the water time to fall, at which point the system operates normally when restarted for the next fraction of a cycle before becoming re-wedged. --[[User:Hash|Hash]] 04:48, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

this fucker has serious
issues... the bottom pump
happily grabs falling water
before the red plate is ever
touched.

walkways shown are sufficient
for construction and later
access to pressure plates
from north or south, all
without walls outside of
the four-tile width.

turn any hallway in your
fortress into a machine of
madness effortlessly!

you'll want to be careful
to build and link the red
gear assembly before
finishing the adjacent
screw pump. Nothing else
is terribly sensitive to
build order.

alternately, dig a ramp
next to the red gear and
the channel before the
axle is built on above.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down, and it's also
quite difficult to have the
reactor under the repeater
because one can't get past
the pressure plate layer.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

i don't think a full reactor
is necessarily necessary
here. only one of the
repeater pumps should be
running at any given time,
and as such a mini reactor
should do just fine.

if you'd like to connect all
the pressure plates on the
bottom level to the same work
area as the middle level,
connect them with six doors,
then put one additional door
north of the red plate, and
a ramp north of that.

walkways shown are sufficient

without walls outside of
the four-tile width.

turn any hallway in your

you'll want to be careful
to build and link the red

finishing the adjacent
screw pump. Nothing else
is terribly sensitive to

alternately, dig a ramp
next to the red gear and
the channel before the
axle is built on above.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down, and it's also
quite difficult to have the
reactor under the repeater
because one can't get past
the pressure plate layer.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down.

I didn't bother placing all
access paths necessary for
construction on this plan,
obviously.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down.

I didn't bother placing
access paths on this plan,
obviously.

v0.31:Water wheel

2010-06-16T00:30:18Z

Hash: /* Dwarven Water Reactor */ Note the possibility of slight transient overflow if routing power out via wheel.

{{AV}}
{{Quality|Exceptional}}
{{Machine_component|name=Water wheel|key=w
|construction=
* 3 {{L|Wood|Wood}}

|power=Needs 10 power. <br>Generates 100 power. <br>Net gain of 90 power.
}}

A '''water wheel''' is a {{L|machine component}} that provides {{L|power}} via {{L|water flow}}. To build a water wheel, select {{key|b}}uild menu and choose {{key|M}}achine components. It requires 3 {{L|wood|wood}} and generates 90 net power, which can be used for operating a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|mill}}. You can use {{L|axle|axles}} and {{L|Gear assembly|gears}} to access the power produced by a water wheel, or connect machinery like a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|millstone|millstone}} directly.

Waterwheels do ''not'' work with waterfalls, nor in magma - it takes water that is flowing according to the DF use of the term.

''For a basic overview of how the different machine parts work and work together, see {{L|machinery}}.''

== Construction ==
The {{L|Building_designer|architecture}} and {{L|Carpenter|carpentry}} labors are needed for the construction.

A water wheel occupies 3 adjacent tiles (N-S or E-W axis, no diagonals). It is the color of the first wood selected for it, so you could build a red wheel with one piece of goblin-cap and two of fungiwood.

Although you can build a stable water wheel on solid ground, this isn't going to do you any good. For this reason, water wheels are almost exclusively built in a hanging state with gaps in the floor below. To do this the water wheel must be attached to a nearby machine component on either side of its center tile. Do not hang it from a gear assembly you wish to control with a switch, a disconnected gear assembly can't support anything and will cause the waterwheel to deconstruct.

{{L|Power}} is generated from a water wheel as long as it has {{L|water_flow|flowing}} water at a depth of 4/7 or greater under at least one of its tiles. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing the water wheel over a {{L|river|river}} or {{L|brook|brook}}. With a {{L|brook}} you must first channel through the surface since brooks have a floor of sorts over them.

You can transport the power wherever it is needed via horizontal and vertical axles and gear assemblies. It is possible to support a waterwheel by building its center next to a preexisting water wheel's center.

This is by no means the limit of water power from one location, depending on the width of your river/brook/channel you can stack many waterwheels side-by-side (really big assembles will need to be artificial as there's a limit to how wide the game created water flows get). Just remember to make sure there's a support structure in place before you place the next wheel.

== Perpetual motion ==

Due to the relatively low power draw of a {{L|screw pump}}, a ''self-powering'' assembly can be made with a water wheel that still leaves plenty of excess power for other uses. This is an {{L|exploit}} (violating basics principles of physics), and possibly a bug, but this is also Dwarf Fortress, so...

To get it working, you must start the pump manually.*

:''(* Exceptions are {{L|aquifer}}s, which can sometimes have naturally occurring {{L|flow}}. This is sometimes a good thing, because then a wheel simply works by itself - or a bad thing, if, for example, you want the wheel to '''not''' provide any power while you build a pump adjacent to it. It's not clear what causes an aquifer to have flow and then keep it - it's difficult to replicate reliably, and can be lost with additional {{L|channel}}ing, so designs will have to be adapted if such are found.)''

It is good to have a ready source of water to refill the machine, as water tends to escape and evaporate, and once the water falls below a certain level, the machine stops. Below an earlier level, the power supply becomes intermittent.

Dig the V-shaped channel and fill it with water (either from an outside source or by designating it as a {{L|pond}}). Meanwhile, construct the pump, pumping from the South. Construct the two water wheels. Start the pump manually ( {{k|q}}, {{k|Enter}} ) - if there is enough water*, the "reactor" will start immediately and the pump operator will leave. The water from the north end of the pump will spill over the top-most floor tile, filling that to 7/7 and the two tiles east and west of it to ~5/7, but will not overflow back past the water wheel to the walkway area. Note that for the upper level, no southern walls are shown as none are needed.

*''(* Estimated minimum depth to prime the reactor is 3/7 to 4/7, though this is not guaranteed.)''
* The ideal amount of water in this design is apparently 63 units of water. In other words six tiles below in the V are full up to 7/7 and three more above are also full up to 7/7 which will generate reliable flow permanently without ever losing any of that water to evaporation. An easy way to do this is to simply leave your pond fill command on after the reactor activates. They will eventually fill it up to the optimal level and stop.

The reactor can be safely halted either by blocking the tile the pump draws water from or "overloading" the reactor (since drawing more power than the reactor supplies will stop the pump that keeps the cycle going until the load is reduced and the pump is manually restarted by dorf-power), More drastically, the reactor will obviously be halted by deconstructing the pump. Deconstructing one wheel will cause a flood (and almost immediately cancel any job order to deconstruct the other components), and deconstructing the pump will cause both wheels to collapse (unless they are attached to {{L|machinery}} outside them, not shown).

{{L|Power}} can routed up from the pump or off to the side from a wheel; the bottom of the pump is difficult to access without danger of water escaping. Routing power from a wheel is typically safe in practice, but it's not impossible for a small amount of water to escape the reactor if it is temporarily overfilled. Power can also be routed out of the reactor via a gear or horizontal axle ''over'' the tile the pump draws water from with neither interference in the pump's operation, danger of flooding, nor increased difficulty in designating and using pond zones to initialize the reactor. In either case, it's typically wise to place a {{L|gear assembly}} linked to a {{L|lever}} early in the power train in order to allow disconnecting the power at that point, as opposed to needing to halting the reactor to stop the power supply.

Expanded versions can produce more power, and can be added later with minimal advance planning; such extensibility is easily attainable by placing disengageable gears on either side of the two water wheels, then attaching minireactors at your leisure, or halting the original reactor by other means. Alternatively, it may be easier to simply produce a second reactor, then connect to the power train at another location.

''Note: If created in an aquifer, there is a chance that the channeled tiles will have a natural {{L|water flow}} - this will cause the pump to start the moment the first wheel is finished, flooding the work area for the second.''

===Mini Water Reactor===

This even more compact design is quite similar to the original Dwarven Water Reactor, but can be used in tight spots that do not need more than 80 surplus power. This plan can also be considered an extension unit to the DWR, in that it can be added to one or the other side to provide an additional 80 power to the resulting power train. Safely constructing a mini reactor to add to a previously built reactor without potential flooding and/or loss of power is possible only if you first turn off the original reactor with floor hatches. Planning ahead is a much better option, so if you're going to need more than 170 power, build a larger reactor to start with.

As stated previously, the design below produces 80 surplus power (less additional power train).

Construction of the mini reactor follows the same order as for the DWR, though the channel is slightly different and only one water wheel is needed. If this is an addition to a full size reactor or set of reactors, all channels will need to be fairly full with water to start the reactor.

A '''water wheel''' is a {{L|machine component}} that provides {{L|power}} via {{L|water flow}}. To build a water wheel, select {{key|b}}uild menu and choose {{key|M}}achine components. It requires 3 {{L|wood|wood}} and generates 90 net power, which can be used for operating a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|mill}}. You can use {{L|axle|axles}} and {{L|Gear assembly|gears}} to access the power produced by a water wheel, or connect machinery like a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|millstone|millstone}} directly.

Waterwheels do ''not'' work with waterfalls, nor in magma - it takes water that is flowing according to the DF use of the term.

''For a basic overview of how the different machine parts work and work together, see {{L|machinery}}.''

== Construction ==
The {{L|Building_designer|architecture}} and {{L|Carpenter|carpentry}} labors are needed for the construction.

A water wheel occupies 3 adjacent tiles (N-S or E-W axis, no diagonals). It is the color of the first wood selected for it, so you could build a red wheel with one piece of goblin-cap and two of fungiwood.

Although you can build a stable water wheel on solid ground, this isn't going to do you any good. For this reason, water wheels are almost exclusively built in a hanging state with gaps in the floor below. To do this the water wheel must be attached to a nearby machine component on either side of its center tile. Do not hang it from a gear assembly you wish to control with a switch, a disconnected gear assembly can't support anything and will cause the waterwheel to deconstruct.

{{L|Power}} is generated from a water wheel as long as it has {{L|water_flow|flowing}} water at a depth of 4/7 or greater under at least one of its tiles. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing the water wheel over a {{L|river|river}} or {{L|brook|brook}}. With a {{L|brook}} you must first channel through the surface since brooks have a floor of sorts over them.

You can transport the power wherever it is needed via horizontal and vertical axles and gear assemblies. It is possible to support a waterwheel by building its center next to a preexisting water wheel's center.

Dig the V-shaped channel and fill it with water (either from an outside source or by designating it as a {{L|pond}}). Meanwhile, construct the pump, pumping from the South. Construct the two water wheels. Start the pump manually ( {{k|q}}, {{k|Enter}} ) - if there is enough water*, the "reactor" will start immediately and the pump operator will leave. The water from the north end of the pump will spill over the top-most floor tile, filling that to 7/7 and the two tiles east and west of it to ~5/7, but will not overflow back past the water wheel to the walkway area. Note that for the upper level, no southern walls are shown as none are needed.

*''(* Estimated minimum depth to prime the reactor is 3/7 to 4/7, though this is not guaranteed.)''
* The ideal amount of water in this design is apparently 63 units of water. In other words six tiles below in the V are full up to 7/7 and three more above are also full up to 7/7 which will generate reliable flow permanently without ever losing any of that water to evaporation. An easy way to do this is to simply leave your pond fill command on after the reactor activates. They will eventually fill it up to the optimal level and stop.

The reactor can be safely halted either by blocking the tile the pump draws water from or "overloading" the reactor (since drawing more power than the reactor supplies will stop the pump that keeps the cycle going until the load is reduced and the pump is manually restarted by dorf-power), More drastically, the reactor will obviously be halted by deconstructing the pump. Deconstructing one wheel will cause a flood (and almost immediately cancel any job order to deconstruct the other components), and deconstructing the pump will cause both wheels to collapse (unless they are attached to {{L|machinery}} outside them, not shown).

{{L|Power}} can routed up from the pump or off to the side from a wheel; the bottom of the pump is difficult to access without danger of water escaping. Power can also be routed out of the reactor via a gear or horizontal axle ''over'' the tile the pump draws water from with neither interference in the pump's operation, danger of flooding, nor increased difficulty in designating and using pond zones to initialize the reactor. In either case, it's typically wise to place a {{L|gear assembly}} linked to a {{L|lever}} early in the power train in order to allow disconnecting the power at that point, as opposed to needing to halting the reactor to stop the power supply.

Expanded versions can produce more power, and can be added later with minimal advance planning; such extensibility is easily attainable by placing disengageable gears on either side of the two water wheels, then attaching minireactors at your leisure, or halting the original reactor by other means. Alternatively, it may be easier to simply produce a second reactor, then connect to the power train at another location.

''Note: If created in an aquifer, there is a chance that the channeled tiles will have a natural {{L|water flow}} - this will cause the pump to start the moment the first wheel is finished, flooding the work area for the second.''

===Mini Water Reactor===

This even more compact design is quite similar to the original Dwarven Water Reactor, but can be used in tight spots that do not need more than 80 surplus power. This plan can also be considered an extension unit to the DWR, in that it can be added to one or the other side to provide an additional 80 power to the resulting power train. Safely constructing a mini reactor to add to a previously built reactor without potential flooding and/or loss of power is possible only if you first turn off the original reactor with floor hatches. Planning ahead is a much better option, so if you're going to need more than 170 power, build a larger reactor to start with.

As stated previously, the design below produces 80 surplus power (less additional power train).

Construction of the mini reactor follows the same order as for the DWR, though the channel is slightly different and only one water wheel is needed. If this is an addition to a full size reactor or set of reactors, all channels will need to be fairly full with water to start the reactor.

Pour water into starting the
reactor first; some of it
may leak down the axle into
the repeater, but this
should stop as soon as the
reactor starts running
unless you continue to
overfill it.

This could be arranged much
more compactly in the y-
coordinate if one didn't
mind the control gear in
the reactor being submerged,
but that would also require
redesigning the gear layer
of the repeater so that
gears are only on top of
the dark green pump areas.

Unfortunately, the two pumps
in the reactor still can't
be unified in any design
where you have an axle
going down.

A '''water wheel''' is a {{L|machine component}} that provides {{L|power}} via {{L|water flow}}. To build a water wheel, select {{key|b}}uild menu and choose {{key|M}}achine components. It requires 3 {{L|wood|wood}} and generates 90 net power, which can be used for operating a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|mill}}. You can use {{L|axle|axles}} and {{L|Gear assembly|gears}} to access the power produced by a water wheel, or connect machinery like a {{L|Screw pump|pump}} or {{L|millstone|millstone}} directly.

Waterwheels do ''not'' work with waterfalls, nor in magma - it takes water that is flowing according to the DF use of the term.

''For a basic overview of how the different machine parts work and work together, see {{L|machinery}}.''

== Construction ==
The {{L|Building_designer|architecture}} and {{L|Carpenter|carpentry}} labors are needed for the construction.

A water wheel occupies 3 adjacent tiles (N-S or E-W axis, no diagonals). It is the color of the first wood selected for it, so you could build a red wheel with one piece of goblin-cap and two of fungiwood.

Although you can build a stable water wheel on solid ground, this isn't going to do you any good. For this reason, water wheels are almost exclusively built in a hanging state with gaps in the floor below. To do this the water wheel must be attached to a nearby machine component on either side of its center tile. Do not hang it from a gear assembly you wish to control with a switch, a disconnected gear assembly can't support anything and will cause the waterwheel to deconstruct.

{{L|Power}} is generated from a water wheel as long as it has {{L|water_flow|flowing}} water at a depth of 4/7 or greater under at least one of its tiles. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing the water wheel over a {{L|river|river}} or {{L|brook|brook}}. With a {{L|brook}} you must first channel through the surface since brooks have a floor of sorts over them.

You can transport the power wherever it is needed via horizontal and vertical axles and gear assemblies. It is possible to support a waterwheel by building its center next to a preexisting water wheel's center.

This is by no means the limit of water power from one location, depending on the width of your river/brook/channel you can stack many waterwheels side-by-side (really big assembles will need to be artificial as there's a limit to how wide the game created water flows get). Just remember to make sure there's a support structure in place before you place the next wheel.

== Perpetual motion ==

Due to the relatively low power draw of a {{L|screw pump}}, a ''self-powering'' assembly can be made with a water wheel that still leaves plenty of excess power for other uses. This is an {{L|exploit}} (violating basics principles of physics), and possibly a bug, but this is also Dwarf Fortress, so...

To get it working, you must start the pump manually.*

:''(* Exceptions are {{L|aquifer}}s, which can sometimes have naturally occurring {{L|flow}}. This is sometimes a good thing, because then a wheel simply works by itself - or a bad thing, if, for example, you want the wheel to '''not''' provide any power while you build a pump adjacent to it. It's not clear what causes an aquifer to have flow and then keep it - it's difficult to replicate reliably, and can be lost with additional {{L|channel}}ing, so designs will have to be adapted if such are found.)''

It is good to have a ready source of water to refill the machine, as water tends to escape and evaporate, and once the water falls below a certain level, the machine stops. Below an earlier level, the power supply becomes intermittent.

===Dwarven Water Reactor===

This compact design, once started, can only be stopped (without complete de-construction of all components) by blocking the tile the pump draws water from, since the pump is directly linked to both wheels - deconstructing one wheel will cause a flood (and almost immediately cancel any job order to deconstruct the other components), and deconstructing the pump will cause both wheels to collapse (unless they are attached to {{L|machinery}} outside them, not shown). {{L|Power}} is routed up from the pump or off to the side from a wheel, where a {{L|gear assembly}} can be placed early in the power train, linked to a {{L|lever}}, to disconnect the power at that point. Power can also be routed out of the reactor via a gear or horizontal axle ''over'' the tile the pump draws water from with neither interference in the pump's operation, danger of flooding, nor increased difficulty in designating and using pond zones to initialize the reactor.

The design below produces 170 surplus power (less additional power train), almost twice that of earlier designs in less than half the space. Expanded versions can produce more power, but should be planned in advance unless you're willing to tear it all down to change the configuration (such extensibility is easily attainable by placing disengageable gears on either side of the two water wheels, then attaching minireactors at your leisure). Alternatively, it may be easier to simply produce a second reactor, then connect to the power train at another location.

Dig the V-shaped channel and fill it with water (either from an outside source or by designating it as a {{L|pond}}). Meanwhile, construct the pump, pumping from the South. Construct the two water wheels. Start the pump manually ( {{k|q}}, {{k|Enter}} ) - if there is enough water*, the "reactor" will start immediately and the pump operator will leave. The water from the north end of the pump will spill over the top-most floor tile, filling that to 7/7 and the two tiles east and west of it to ~5/7, but will not overflow back past the water wheel to the walkway area. Note that for the upper level, no southern walls are shown as none are needed.
*''(* Estimated minimum depth to prime the reactor is 3/7 to 4/7, though this is not guaranteed.)''
* The ideal amount of water in this design is apparently 63 units of water. In other words six tiles below in the V are full up to 7/7 and three more above are also full up to 7/7 which will generate reliable flow permanently without ever losing any of that water to evaporation. An easy way to do this is to simply leave your pond fill command on after the reactor activates. They will eventually fill it up to the optimal level and stop.

''Note: If created in an aquifer, there is a chance that the channeled tiles will have a natural {{L|water flow}} - this will cause the pump to start the moment the first wheel is finished, flooding the work area for the second.''

===Mini Water Reactor===

This even more compact design is quite similar to the original Dwarven Water Reactor, but can be used in tight spots that do not need more than 80 surplus power. This plan can also be considered an extension unit to the DWR, in that it can be added to one or the other side to provide an additional 80 power to the resulting power train. Safely constructing a mini reactor to add to a previously built reactor without potential flooding and/or loss of power is possible only if you first turn off the original reactor with floor hatches. Planning ahead is a much better option, so if you're going to need more than 170 power, build a larger reactor to start with.

As stated previously, the design below produces 80 surplus power (less additional power train).

Construction of the mini reactor follows the same order as for the DWR, though the channel is slightly different and only one water wheel is needed. If this is an addition to a full size reactor or set of reactors, all channels will need to be fairly full with water to start the reactor.
