Waterwheel
The waterwheel serves a dual purpose in Ararholm.
The first is the same task that waterwheels have been used for throughout the ages: grinding seeds and grains down into powder -- flour, etc. The second is electrical power. Jonas ( the Aeon Priest for Ararholm ) set up a small generator and a wireless power distributor so that anyone can have power in their homes or tents with the right equipment.
The waterwheel is showing its age though. Made from wood, it is not standing up well to the rigours of time ( or the water-rot settling into the wood ). At some point the wheel will have to be replaced, either by another wood wheel or something more durable made from synth.
The amount of power generated is not much; basically enough to power a few handfuls of lights. Larger or more power-hungry devices are usually wired into a generator of some kind, although some folk say it should be possible to dig down and wire into the power circuit of the Ship.
