Connect your mains water supply to a generator and get a constant free

Not constant, only when using water.

He could use water constantly, if you regard generating power from
water as "using" it.

Realistically, though, could it work, for those with high incoming mains
water pressure? Obviously not constantly, particularly if metered (!),
but could not the incoming main be routed via a dynamo of some type,
perhaps to charge batteries which would provide a constant power source?

Probably only practical for those home all day (more/regular water
usage), but would the power generated be sufficient to make the project
worthwhile?

Someone here (Tim?) has high water pressure. Project for this weekend?
You've got three days, too! :-)
