Izzenhood 3 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Hint: It is a noria, but where? And how does it work. What is the mechanism? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Izzenhood 3 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 OK, I don't know where this particular Noria Alta is either, but I was hoping someone could tell me. There's no need to solve this, please post the next photo. Here's a photo of the noria and acqueduct near the Noria Alta community just outside of Guanajuato City. The structure is so large in diameter I wondered whether it had some kind of water lift inside rather than having a water wheel. In the old photo below there is no water wheel. The photographer would have been standing near the creek. https://www.google.com/search?q=historic+water+lift+mechanisms&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjw9rvjmrLrAhWjip4KHSVyBB8Q2-cCegQIABAA&oq=historic+water+lift+mechanisms&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoCCAA6BggAEAUQHjoGCAAQCBAeOgQIABAYUKB_WPmfAWD1pQFoAHAAeACAAbQBiAHjFJIBBDQuMTeYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=etdCX_DRFqOV-gSl5JH4AQ&bih=804&biw=1707 The link above shows a variety of water lift devices.
