I'm away from home for a little while and whilst I hope to continue some lapidary activities, it wouldn't be polite to free-load the power supply where I'm staying, even while my hosts say - and they're probably right - it would be no problem. So this is my stop-gap solution and for some reason - possibly the right? reason - I always wanted to power my tumbler with solar. It was just something I saw happening and now it is.

I have often thought of a water wheel power tumbler and or power generator.

Curious.

What makes it the 'right' thing?

LMAO Gunner.

We all know that people who don't really know what is going on and cant justify things say the are "doing the right thing"

But I guess we can let the feel good people thing they aren't just following the rest of the sheep and are doing glorious things for man kind.

William Hearst powered his castle is San Simeon California with a water wheel generator. It was surprisingly small, but his power needs for lightbulbs was also small, no doubt.
