The Poncelet wheel was invented by Jean-Victor Poncelet while working at the École d’Application in Metz in 1824. It roughly doubled the efficiency of existing undershot waterwheels through a series of detail improvements. The first Poncelet wheel was constructed in 1838 and quickly became common in France.
