Depends on what parts you avaiable.
One easy way is to attach a 'Technic Rotor 2 Blade with 4 Studs' (32124) on
top of the Propeller blades. I also asume that the helicopter rotor you want
to use is this: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3461
You can find a description of the 32124 here :

The 2711 is similar type but have only two studs.

There are probably lots of ways to do this, I tried with gears, but nothing
I had matched the studs on the helicopter rotor.
But why use this brick at all? Why not start with a technic gear instead of
the helicopter rotor, eg the Techninc Gear 24 tooth (3648) or maybe the
Techninc Wedge Belt Wheel (4185) or a bigger gear?
As I said it depends on what parts you have avaiable. I can see a few other
ways of making a waterwheel that attaches to a technic pin.
