I develop my film with an electric vibrating paint mixer mounted on a 78rpm record player, which is bolted onto an old Chevy V8 engine that is out of balance and has a dead cylinder. I can develop a roll of 35mm in 48 seconds.

Yeah, but is it better than Ansel Adams?

That's an interesting rig. I use trays, and I've fastened the tray to the cone of a subwoofer consisting of an 18" driver in a one cubic yard box. You can determine how your pictures look by the music you play into the subwoofer.
I'm working on an agitator for 35mm, it will be a film tank fastened to the connecting rod of a Fairbanks-Morse YZ engine.
