English term or phrase: waterwheel of eight horsepower
Bonjour,

Il s'agit de la chronologie d'une distillerie.

Working with an architect, he designs the distillery to be independent of steam power – using a natural slope to drive a waterwheel of eight horsepower.

Merci pour votre aide,

Suzy

roue à aubes de huit chevaux-vapeur


Explanation:
Note that as the 'roue à aubes' isn't specifically ONLY a WATERwheel, you'll need to work the 'water' bit into the sentence as a whole.

I think the 'de' makes it a bit 'bald' in FR, you'll probably want to expand it to make it flow better, something along the lines of '...producing a power of 8 hp' etc.

Roue+force de l'eau=une certaine vitesse à l’alternateur selon le rapport d'engrenage
Si bien calculé pour la bonne vitesse on a une énergie utilisable pour le réseau

Le cheval vapeur est une force avant d'être des KW

Les notices des constructeurs indiquent depuis assez longtemps des KW car pour une voiture ça faisait drôle de parler de chevaux vapeur pour un moteur à éxplosion
