-A '''water-powered machine''' captures [[kinetic energy]] from running water with a waterwheel and uses it to do work of some sort. To be of any great use however, such machines must be built where there is a fairly constant flow of water, at least when they are to be put to use, or where water can be captured and stored as [[potential energy]], available for conversion into [[kinetic energy]] when needed. The smaller and less constant the source of running water, the more likely such a machine will rely upon a [[mill pond]].
