I chose the fountain pump (actually it's for a parts washer) for my water-cooled version of Paul's controller, because it is maintenance-free - no brushes, silent, last forever, and it was inexpensive (I already had it... ). Also, I was planning on using the inverter for powering some transformers to create some isolated 12 volt DC power supplies for my digital instruments - so using the inverter for other functions was relatively simple.
I'm also thinking of running my oscilloscope in the car during a road test.
