it is perfect for both large and small setups, it will not work unless it is full of flint so it may take a while to start working. you can change the speed at the speed controler to adjust for your power situation and easily place both the water and the lava into the drill setup. the tilable section is here you do not need to put an end peice on both ends, if you do, remove all cogs and gearboxes from the end that will not be powered.
