- Description
Irrigation of fields has long been a tiring part of daily farm labor. The wind-powered waterwheel—proposed by the Research Office for Agricultural Tools of the Agricultural Ministry of Jiangxi Province that has built on earlier models taken from Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province—can also provide electric light when a generator is installed.
