Flutter Wheel

Narrow waterwheel of moderate diameter with radial floats placed at the bottom of a chute, it worked by the impact of the water. Used primarily in up-and-down saw mills, it was capable of providing as many as 120 strokes of the saw per minute (so called because of the birdlike sound it makes).
