Junk Created Water Wheel

…mostly out of scrap material as are most of my projects. The steel center portion of the wheel is made from a used electrical spool cut down from about 3′ to 1′ in width. Then with a whole lot of scrap wood laying around, I built the wheel and the water trough. The ponds are made from an old 500 gallon fuel tank cut in half and sunk into the ground. A small pond pump which my neighbor gave me, pumps around two gallons a minute which is plenty to get this thing moving.

I borrowed his picture and the information above from his post: Water Wheel on his blog: Pointless Projects.  (Thanks, Ren!)
