The device, which pumped water from the depths of the mine, was water-powered itself. It was powered by the Idrijca river stream from the water channel, which was built at the end of the 16th century – at the time of the mine production’s big modernisation. This 3.5km long channel provided a constant and sufficiently strong water flow to various mines in town, especially the “Kamšt”.
