It's 53x10 (? correct me if I'm wrong), so you'll need about six waterwheels, or 14 windmills with maximum power (40).

Also, first post, hi.

Don't forget, you also need to power the gears and axles connecting the pump stack to the power source.

Throw in a bit more -- waterwheels use up 10 power themselves, so each wheel only gives you 90 power.  In addition, you need gears and axles to connect the power source to the pumps.  Hooking up one of the gears to a lever is also nice to cut the power.

So you're probably looking at 7 wheels.

Windmills depends too much on how much power each produces.  I'd go with waterwheels.

Also, you can manufacture vomit at a smelter.  Subsequently removing the smelter spews vomit over a surprising area.

Just for safety I'm gonna go for 8 or 9 as I'm pumping for the perpetual motion so I need another pump or 7 going as well.
