You need:A cordless screwdriver. A greenhouse attached. ;Pipe 1 1 / 2 inches. ;2 lid.;A metal rod. A bipolar switch. ;9-volt batteries. ;And some other small widgets. This work very well, and once work is completed, I returned my batteries inside. WATCH VIDEO HERE

Sweet, I love the worm gear/ c-clamp and gear reduced screwdriver motor Questions: What did you cut your chute mount clamps from? Do you have the running on 9 volt or 27 volt.? How did you attach the screwdriver motor to the inside of the pipe? Great job, I think you have a lot of people working in their garage now.. I saw that HomeDepot and Lowes has rechargable,sealed lead acid, 12 and 6 volt batterys with spade clip ends. These batteries are for emergency exit lights and signs... Maybe some future project could use those... Friiy

Yep Denis next step with same screwdriver for rotation chute;My mount clamp was made with plastic 1/2 inch;To hold everything in the tube, i used little stud glued with black silicone on plexiglass fixed with small screws in the back. I sanded the screwdrivwer casing and the inside of the tude to slide it in and stick it with epoxy. The electric motor is 6 volts but with 9 volts it turns. After the job is done outside I disconnct the power back and bring it inside.
