1832 Reg. Arts & Jrnl. Patent Inventions 6 273 The grain..falls by a small opening..into the eye of the stone. In its passage it is acted upon by an air wheel, or fan, to which the requisite motion is to be given.

1853 Sci. Amer. 4 June 300/3 Another means of compressing the air..will be by thrusting the air below a sufficient head of water..by means of an air wheel shown in fig. 2—that is, a water wheel inverted in a tank of water.

1876 Scribner's Monthly Feb. 597/2 The new canal boat propellor consists of a large sheet-iron screw..hung in the air at the stern, just clear of the water... The practical results obtained with this air-wheel were [etc.].

1893 U.S. Patent 501,111 1/1 The improved air ship consists essentially of..the air wheel or propeller S [etc.].

1928 U.S. Patent 1,660,257 1/1 Figure 1 is a perspective view of a helicopter... Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal vertical section thereof, the air wheel being in side elevation.

1860 U.S. Patent 27,721 1/1 The nature of my invention..consists in winding the spring of a clock or other time piece, by connecting it with an air wheel or motor, so constructed and arranged as to be actuated by currents of air.

1882 U.S. Patent 257,166 1/2 What I desire to claim..is—1. A water or air wheel having a double row of buckets arranged obliquely on the periphery thereof.

1896 Westm. Gaz. 13 Jan. 8/2 Beneath the hopper..is an air-pipe through which nearly all the air for combustion enters. As it enters it is made to pass through the blades of an air-wheel, or turbine, and the passage of the air causes the latter to revolve.
