Various Methods of Motorizing The Country Living Grain Mill
While the advantages of using a electric grain mill have been demonstrated, there are many reasons why someone would be interested in using a hand driven or human powered grain mill. Any kind of emergency power outages, natural disaster or civil unrest will mean that your grain mill will need to be run manually. There are plenty of options out there for human powered kitchen mills, but there is one that sits head and shoulders above the rest due to its high quality and the ease with which it is able to be powered.
Clearly hand operation is needed for emergency use of the kitchen mill, but providing a different means of powering it for every day use is a big deal . It is true that The Country Living Grain Mill company offers a motorization kit that can be directly attached to the unit, but it is costly. Thanks to a belt drive flywheel that has been incorporated into the design, the Country Living Grain Mill is very simple to motorize. Please take note that placing a motor on your unit will void the warrenty provided by Country Living. Simply following the requirements for operating speeds will provide for an excellent experiance and will also protect your Country Living Grain Mill.
The proper layout of the pulley transmission is critical to the proper powering of the mill. Many general use motors that run around 1750RPM can be pulled from old clothes washers or dryers, or a new one can be purchased for a reasonable cost. If a slower motor can be procured (around 1150RPM) it is possible to direct attach this motor to the flywheel of the Country Living Grain Mill. Experts do believe that this speed is still to fast and present the possibility of excessivly heating the grinding wheels. In order to guarentee that the proper speeds are met for the life and longevity of the mill, a pulley system will have to be used. 120 is the absolute maximum that the actual burrs should be rotating, with 60 turns per minute being the optimal speed.
Following in the footsteps of those before us shows us that both a vertical and horizontal pulley setup will work for these purposes. Your specific layout and space availability will help you determine the best way to configure your Country Living Grain Mill.
It's possible that the motorization process you select won't invovle a motor at all - it is entirely possible to attach the Country Living Grain Mill to an old exercise bike which has been outfited wtih a drive belt pulley. In just the same way you would connect a motor, drive pulleys and a belt can be used to connect the two. Legs provide much more energy and power than arms, and so the speed and quantity of ground wheat increases. This application is especially useful in large scale disaster relief or third world situations where electricity is prohibitively expensive or unavailable altogether.
There are many different choices and techniques available to your Country Living Grain Mill. All of the benefits of an electric mill combined with the critical aspects of a hand powered mill are present in the homemade motorized Country Living Grain Mill.

What is the best low priced bicycle to put motor kit on?
If you are going to buy a bicycle and a motor kit, you might do better to simply buy a motorized bicycle. Buying a cheap bike and putting a motor on it is probably not going to work very well. A cheap bike will barely be able to cope with the stresses imposed by a person. The additional power generated by a motor will probably break it. A bike robust enough to withstand these stresses will be much more costly
