way that has lessimpact on the environment than fossil fuels. There are several different types of water wheeldesigns, such as undershot, overshot, pitchback, breastshot, and pelton wheel. This project wasfocused on the design and implementation of an undershot water wheel. The water wheel wasassumed to be set into a river system with an assumed flow of 10 ft/s. The components designedfor the water wheel system are wheel, shaft, belt, pulley and bearing. The wheel shaft is to beconnected to a generator with a belt system. A journal bearing was selected based on the loadrequirements. The waterwheel’s vanes encountered bending moment and shear force from thetangential flow of water to its circumference. A shaft was designed for torque
