Project flow was a multidiciplined Arts Council Funded Scheme conceived and developed by Ed Carter, Architect Nicky Kirk and the Owl project artists group. It was made by the Amble Boat Company staff and subcontractors. Owl group made all the internal exhibits and we designed and made the Waterwheel, the power transmission, PM Alternator electrical conditioning and integrated it all.  

The wheel took 10 days to detail design, the primary transmission 4 additional days. The electrical cabinets took 2 days to design,  and a 40hr weekend to make once all the part arived!

This is the largest light duty wheel wheel Ive made to date  - David Willcox.
