Default Crazy idea number 423

Well, would this not rather reduce the flow rate?. If you had to pump the
water up to a holding tank it would obviously be using up more power than
you were generating. also of course, if you were not filling a tank or using
water at other times, you would not make any electricity.

What you would need is to tap into a main some place so water is more likely
to be being used constantly, but I suggest that doing that might just be a
little bit illegal.


I've often wonder about speaker phones powered by the telephone line
voltage. I used to have one that was quite loud, but one I bought more
recently from Argos is pretty rubbish on the volume side. However I did
notice that one could get enough current legally to trickle charge some
batteries of the aa type.

Connect your mains water supply to a generator and get a constant free 150
watts.
