Pictures

[edit]

It sure would be nice to have some pictures--I can envision at least 3:

  * one showing the shape of the blade
  * one showing how the blades are positioned on the wheel (orientation with respect to a radius), and, ideally, the ideal immersion depth of the blades
  * one showing the complete wheel, and showing things like the depth of immersion

It would be nice if one (or more) of the pictures clarified this statement (from the article): "His design used curved blades positioned so the water met the blade flat to its edge instead of the side."
