The Roman Water Machine

Ғылым және технология

A Roman water machine in action at The Ancient Technology Centre, Cranborne, Dorset. Visit www.ancienttechnologycentre.co... to learn more.
This machine is a replica based on evidence of a bucket chain mechanism found in London and dated to the early second century A.D.
The machine is one possible interpretation of a mechanism that may have driven the excavated bucket chain. The original bucket chain was discovered at the bottom of a deep well (eastern well) during excavations at 20-30 Gresham Street in London. It is believed that the water from the well supplied the Roman bath house at Cheapside, around 400 metres away.
Built by the Museum of London, and McCurdy & Co. in 2002, the water machine became the focus for a Time Team special which is still being repeated. The machine was donated to the ATC by the museum of London in 2010.
We have modified the main drive wheel with fruit-wood "shoes" that bear the weight of the chains. We have also installed a counter on the windlass gear to record the volume of water moved.

    It´s mellowed nicely; when Time Team first built it there was a lot of stark new wood and iron. It was impressive to see how the archaeologists managed to piece together the design from a few pieces of timber and some heavily-rusted scraps of iron. Now it looks superb, as if it were hundreds of years old : )

    The teeth in the cogwheels would likely have been made from hornbeam, as it's also used in wind and water mills as well as cart axles.

    @Carlo Canti No. Chinese knew how to use differential gears before Europeans. The knew water wheels for a long time and had gears in them. The water wheel turns out to be present in North Africa before it was Middle Eastern. Egypt and other cities below had it before Mesopotamia. Wikipedia is not always right.
