That is bloody awesome.
I like the drill-operated valve, that is very clever indeed. I wish more people did this stuff. Hell, I wish that I did this stuff.

So now the question is, where do you get the water from? I'm pretty sure that using city water to run one of these wouldn't be worth the cost of the water bill. If you have a well you have to use electricity to pump water to it, inherit inefficiencies will surely make that not cost effective. So would you need to have a stream or other source of free running water at your disposal to take advantage of something like this??
