It does involve large quantities of water. Here's my design. Version 0.2:



The opposing paddlewheels are interleaved so they move a large volume with minimal turbulence going into the diffuser. Version 0.4 would have a single return and a single paddle wheel at the far end from the diffuser. Big return channel, small test section.
I really like this, however the cost to build would be as much as the project itself. I'll probably stick with software and best practices.
