Abstract: This paper describes an old ironwork placed in the Spanish village of Teixois-Taramundi (Asturias). The air supply and the hydraulic wheel are studied. The minimum area in the water trumpet for an adequate air flow is calculated, along with the power supply by the hydraulic wheel to move the hammer with a required frequency
