Does anyone know whether anything has ever been written on what diameters of water wheels are suitable for particular numbers of spokes? A project I'm involved with recently acquired a water wheel axle and hub with slots for 12 spokes per side. I'm aware that 18' whhels often have 8 spokes and I've seen a 35' wheel with 16 spokes, but can't find any technical literature on them.
