    Hydro Electric requires that you get water pressure working for you to spin the turbine
    Here is a diagram of a project in NZ I had the privilege of touring

    If the goal is to make some serious power it gets complicated. Average annual output-4800GWH
    Water pressure at turbine 325 psi. I could be wrong

      Beware of perpetual motion schemes. We are all missing something here and it has to depend on the energy caused to make the water flow in the first place. Can't possibly get more energy out than is in water in first place.

      Something about potential energy and kinetic energy


      I would think. Just musing again
