    That wheel is stunning! There's enough of it visible now to measure an arc segment and come up with a fairly accurate estimation of the overall wheel diameter.

  • @britannia-foundry
    @britannia-foundry Год назад +3

    They were the stationary engine of the day, within a 10 mile radius of where I live there were at least 50 at the begining of the 20th century, there are at least 2 still left, one helps power the woolen mill and the other is restored and on the front of Dave Bicks book Old Copper Mines of Snowdonia, waterwheels would make a good subject for a book, as you say underground one are even rarer to find so I apreciate your need to protect it's where abouts, great job, All's opp has obviously knocked his health and his confidence, both I am sure will return because he enjoys the exploring, as they say slow and steady catches the monkey.

    The one at Nenthead is a horse whim on it's side. There is another one in the area, it's very impressive, large, but only 2/3rds survives, we have video of that one, we will be re-filming and 3d modelling the horse whim soon. Nice find :)

    That water wheel 🛞 is amazing to see cause they are very rare to see in mines , is it possible to uncover it some more so we can see more of it in detail but safely , always enjoy your videos and looking forward to seeing the 2nd water wheel if you find it 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    I'd be fascinated to know more about these waterwheels. What timber was used? I wonder if Larch or Spruce for the spokes. Would the buckets originally have been tarred?

  • @AussiePom
    @AussiePom 4 месяца назад

    In a gold mine in Australia I was told if timber stays bone dry or is soaking wet then it can be preserved for hundreds of years. If the timber gets wet then dries out and then gets wet again that's when it rots and falls apart because the timber it constantly expanding when wet and contracting when drying out. They had timber in that mine from the 1840's and it was constantly wet and in the same condition to when it was installed.

  • @daleferrier3050
    @daleferrier3050 Год назад

    I am thinking you could make a pretty good calculation of its diameter by measuring the chord and arc length of the exposed section.

  • @simontay4851
    @simontay4851 Год назад

    All the crap that the wheel is burried in has probably helped to preserve it by stopping oxygen and water getting to the wood. What if excavating the crap around it causes the wood to rot. What condition will it be in, in another 10-20 years.
