"Oh god! No! I want to live!"
From season 4 of tv's Futurama, she's an obsolete robot that needs to refill her water wheel or powers down forever.
I had this decorative house with a working water wheel that broke. I disassembled and the parts sat on my desk for years until I saw the light. I also needed a project to force me to learn FreeCAD.
Under the grate, is a small quiet low flow 5v submersible pump (Vipe Mini Micro Submersible Motor Pump) that pushes water up hidden channels in her left leg,hip, and torso where it pours out and continuously spins the wheel.
Most parts should fit snugly without glue. I haven't modeled the wheel (yet). Mine rests on a stainless bar that I needed to drill through.
