Nice, now he needs to have some sort of winch system that will hang it up in that super tall ceiling space out of the way.

That IS a big pump. At first, before I saw the caption, I thought it might have been a turbine in a hydroelectric plant. Twil and I toured a hydro plant (she arranged the tour as a birthday gift for me--I love that woman) . The shaft was gargantuan. There are pics, I'll find them.

I've climbed down into the swirl cage of a water-turbine generator being repaired at Grand Coulee Dam, when I worked for Westinghouse. Big and scary inside.

Yes, the swirl cage is a shaped concrete cage with curved walls, having small steel sliding windows around the periphery. These windows, many many feet below the surface, hold back the whole damn lake. When they open the water enters at an angle with great force, driving the vertical water turbine and the generator above it. If those widows opened when you were in there, even without a turbine in place, you wouldn't stand a snowball's chance it hell.

I found it, not homemade, it's a 1901 Slinger. Was 5 hp, one gear, 35mph. Copper radiator around the cylinder.

That is pretty cool.
There are loads of interesting designs out there for toys and tools that simply lacked lightweight motors... Maybe I should just build an aircraft.
