Powering off and then own causes its own stress. Case in point the older light bulbs. Where if you never turned them off worked for years and years. But on and off could cause a faster burnout. While I am fond of water power it seems the research in this field is lacking. |

Hydro seems to be the closest you can get to 0-pollution energy, but the Enviro-activists object to interfering with the fish.

I was thinking more of a close system type. Say a 4 to 8 inch pipe, curved standing maybe 10 feet high? Not sure just how many "power" wheels would be needed to power a light bulb or a whole house. It has been on my mind since I was a kid watching the fire department when it flushes a fire hydrant. That high presser could turn a water wheel faster then a river could.

So is this like a water wheel redesigned? Or something requiring a power source?

Sort of, but fully enclose in a (4" 8" 12") pipe. Unlike the link listed which shows pumping water up hill to a storage area. What I am thinking of would be like one motor pushing water in a pipe with 7 other motors to produce power. Of course the amount of power needed would set the amount of motors needed. Think of your water hose. How much presser does it have? Could it turn a small turbine to produce power? How many turbines would be needed to power your house? www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-21/pumped-hydro-renewable-energy-sites-australia-anu-research/8966530So is this like a water wheel redesigned?

Pumped would be good for places lacking in rivers or elevation for conventional hydro to work. No idea why mountainous counties would need it.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but supposedly solar panels cost more energy to make them they will ever produce.

PS: Regular people see through the smokescreen of phony science. They work too hard to have their livelihoods ruined by expensive overregulation that doesn’t solve anything.
