paddle wheel造句

Now you could do a similar sort of thing, but instead of having a candle, you have a paddle wheel, and the paddle wheel is spun by a weight that's dropping from here to here.

Now I'm really fantastic at drawing this mechanical device, but you can imagine that dropping a weight can cause a paddle wheel to turn.

So, it's a trivial matter, by looking at what is the weight and how far does it drop, to say OK, how much work is done by the paddle wheel.
