Largest water wheel in the world

Post by Windcatcher530 Dan »

My brother sent me a video of the Burden iron works that used to be in Troy NY in the early to late 1800s. They were the largest producing anything from horseshoes to train rail and even the steel for the monitor ship. The impressive thing is the water wheel was 62ft high and 22ft wide and produced millions of horse power over a year.
