[QUOTE="DirtyBob, post: 225401, member: 5386"] Just wondering if there is any science or recommendations behind how fast a trommel should turn? I've been thinking about a pelton drive trommel add-on to my Walbanker. I think you could make a pelton drive reasonably easily from metal scraps (or maybe spoons :) ) and you wouldn't have to lug a battery providing your pump has enough pressure/volume. They spin pretty fast so would need to be in balance but geared down might have enough grunt to drive a trommel. [/QUOTE]
