What's even more amazing is that with the press of a button marked

I think that's from in sync spinning in air, rather than stationary.
The switch round from fully pumping to full generation is the one
that is really impressive. It's not that much longer than the in
sync/spinning in air one but there is an awful lot of water that has
to change direction of movement.
