Abstract: Some embodiments of an exemplary manual or electric grain mills may include a mill body; a mill mechanism disposed within the mill body, the mill mechanism including a mill shaft and a shaft coupling; a hand crank having a hand crank driveshaft configured to be selectively coupled to the shaft coupling to drive the mill mechanism when the hand crank is manually operated; and a motor assembly. The motor assembly may include a motor housing, a motor disposed within the motor housing, and a motor driveshaft operatively coupled to the motor, the motor driveshaft being configured to be selectively couple to the shaft coupling and drive the mill mechanism when the motor is powered.

Abstract: Exemplary sprouters may provide automatic water level adjustment for soaking seeds and growing sprouts from those seeds in trays formed from a hydrophobic material and with holes in the bottom surface of the tray sized such that the surface tension of pure water and the hydrophobic properties of the tray material resists passage of the pure water through the holes. The automatically adjusting may be facilitated by germinating seeds soaking in water changing the surface tension of the soaking water and reducing the resistance to passage through the holes.
