With their understanding of torque, the students were able to build better waterwheels by considering the impact of radius and volume during the engineering - design process. (edutopia.org)
The two other areas that the researchers analyzed — the historic waterwheels of Hama, which raised water up to aqueducts for drinking and irrigation, and the ancient site of Ugarit, a mostly stone city that connected the ancient empires of Mesopotamia with those of the Mediterranean — do not appear to have been damaged.
