Wow! Thanks for the calcs Alan, but the waterwheel notion isn't really a serious contender.

What's so darned annoying about this project is that we have mains power all around. It's not as though the place is miles from anywhere. If it wasn't for the guy in the house at the back end of the field I'm sure we'd have gone with the original plan.

Using a hill to create a head of water for the machine, say a hill 6ft high.( Modest, but this is Norfolk after all!)

6 ft. isn't a hill around here -- It's practically a mountain! [Linked Image]
