This would be highly interesting with the mini-pumps hooked up to a motor
outside of the water reservoir, pumping water up to the top of the waterfall
where it could trickle down back into the reservoir... however, how much water
could you push out? Are the motors strong enough to suck in water and pump it
out, not to mention pushing it up a tube? Would it be useful at all? (i.e. if
you need to gear it down too much, you would barely get a trickle out of the
waterfall) Perhaps 2 or 3 motors working in unison with 2 or 3 different pumps?
Anyone tried it before?
