In order to prevent the waves from shirking that duty, the wily inventor has fixed the paddle wheel on sliding supports so that it can be raised or lowered to meet any whim of the tide. The pier can also be turned in any direction so that the waves cannot successfully execute a flank movement on the paddle wheel and by such a simple subterfuge escape perpetrating perpetual motion.
