Pelton wheel-powered machine shop - video

[Altair]

Nineteenth century machine shop powered by a 2" Pelton water motor. Invented by Lester Allan Pelton in the 1878, the Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water, as opposed to water's dead weight like the traditional overshot water wheel.
