Obviously i can't say anything about how they were powered, but looking for example those core drilled holes, the feed rate achieve machining marks on the parts way they are, would've needed something VERY powerfull. Looking at the core sample photo, i would say the feed rate of cutting would have been around 0.5 to 1mm per revolution, and to achieve that even in a modern machine shop to relatively soft aluminium with a core drill that size, would be hard pushing.
So i would have an educated guess and say that with man power you would never do that.

I've really enjoyed the intelligence of the posters on this thread. Learned much and have even more to share. Two way street after all.
Been watching the youtube Pyramid Code and it's a great series.

This is Chris Dunn & Edward Malkowski at Abu Rawash. (part 1 of part 1) This is the "New Rosetta Stone" This is ultra significant in the double arc cut in that a straight saw cannot cut this.

This is coming out in Edward Malkowski's book "Ancient Egypt 39,000 BCE" due out in April. Great book in that it has Schoch, Dunn, some guy named "Cadman" and others in it. Lots of pictures of machined artifacts.
Chris went a bit tangentially and started working on the statue artifacts - mirror imaging and the like.
Got to see Hakim (in the vid) and that was cool. Hakim said that the pump set up is correct. Hakim also said that it produced hydrogen for the upper machine. I can't prove that part yet.
My favorite Chris Dunn precision is the boxes of the Serapeum:

It's very "Chris" in that it's technical but it is correct and profound (but a little dry). Only people that actually produce things can understand what 0.00005" actually is and absolute parallel and square sides on multiple granite boxes the size of a small room.
Considering the tolerances, there must have been temperature control for variances and cooling for whatever type cutting mechanism (diamond tip?).
Also the corner radii are outstanding. Chris visited me a few years back while Dr. Jack Kolle was here. Chris and Jack talked a lot about precision laser cutting in manufacture industry etc.
The one thing about the pulse gen that baffled Jack Kolle was the heart beat pulse. It's specific to the design and has something to do with overlapping compression waves travelling in the system. I can observe it but don't really understand it. Same with Jack.
It was amazing to have Jack watch the ink flow model and start calculating the velocity in the room and if it would be a turbulent flow. All off the top of his head and it did confirm my calculations. I had to use a physics book and calculator, though! (The water shoots across the room with a max velocity of 100 ft/sec - not bad for a 3 foot square water jet)
