  2. Level sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_sensor

    Rotating paddle level sensors are a very old and established technique for bulk solid point level indication. The technique uses a low-speed gear motor that rotates a paddle wheel. When the paddle is stalled by solid materials, the motor is rotated on its shaft by its own torque until a flange mounted on the motor contacts a mechanical switch.

  3. Paddle wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddle_wheel

    The paddle wheel is a device for converting between rotary motion of a shaft and linear motion of a fluid. In the linear-to-rotary direction, it is placed in a fluid stream to convert the linear motion of the fluid into rotation of the wheel. Such a rotation can be used as a source of power, or as an indication of the speed of flow.

  4. Sail switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sail_switch

    A sail switch, vane switch or flow switch is a mechanical switch that is actuated on or off in response to the flow or non-flow of a fluid such as air or water. [1] A sail switch typically operates through the use of a paddle or a diaphragm which gets displaced due to the force of fluid or air moving past it.

  5. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    The paddle wheel is a large wheel, generally built of a steel framework, upon the outer edge of which are fitted numerous paddle blades (called floats or buckets). The bottom quarter or so of the wheel travels underwater. Rotation of the paddle wheel produces thrust, forward or backward as required.

  6. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Magnets in the paddle spin past the sensor. The electrical pulses produced are proportional to the rate of flow. Paddle wheel flowmeters (also known as Pelton wheel sensors) consist of three primary components: the paddle wheel sensor, the pipe fitting and the display/controller. The paddle wheel sensor consists of a freely rotating wheel ...

  7. Waterladder pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterladder_pump

    The water ladder was built as an alternative to the paddle wheel to get around the problem that to lift water to a greater height, a bigger wheel is needed. [1] Despite the emergence of new pumps that operate on other principles, the water ladder remains an important tool as some of its other benefits are that they can be built and repaired easily at a very low cost.

  8. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    Propeller walk (also known as propeller effect, wheeling effect, paddle wheel effect, asymmetric thrust, asymmetric blade effect, transverse thrust, prop walk) is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about a vertical axis (also known as yaw motion). The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.

  9. Raceway pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raceway_pond

    Raceway pond used for the cultivation of microalgae. The water is kept in constant motion with a powered paddle wheel. A raceway pond is a shallow artificial pond used in the cultivation of algae. [1] [2] The pond is divided into a rectangular grid, with each rectangle containing one channel in the shape of an oval, like an automotive raceway ...
