It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "IMM"
saying something like:

You could have a large tank at high level and one at low level.
The mains water turns the genny to produce power to heat a thermal
store of water. The genny turbine would have another pump on the
same shaft. This pump, pumps water from the low tank to the high
level tank. When the high tank is full the water from the high
tank is released to turn the genny and flows into the lower tank.
Start all over again. You are getting the power to raise the water
free ( the water companies pumps in fact).

That's a wonderful way of wasting the precious resource of clean
water.


It's the same water being pumped from tank
to tank. Pay attention.


An 'infinity' engine?


No. Pay attention.

Water drives genny to power pump
to replace water? And enough spare energy
for an immersion heater.
I'm impressed but reckon you should get
a patent on this asap.


It is quite clear what it is. Focus please.
