Magnetic Tumbling

I was looking at making a wet tumbler for my brass and came across this video:

Has anyone tried anything like this for reloading? It looks like it may work, but before I go scraping any electric wheelchairs for parts, it would be nice to know if anyone has tried it.

Interesting. Seems like with water in it (or dry) there would be a huge vortex and no agitation of the media against whatever is attempting to being polished. Just everything circling the toilet bowl in unison. I'm gonna bet it doesn't work.

Reinventing the wheel. But, heck, go for it

That is interesting, but better? IDK

You have a very good point. Even with water, the magnets would keep the media at or near the bottom. Thanks for the input. Disregarding this project and on to making a home made tumbler. I just need to find a suitable motor.
