Question. Electricity can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen is lighter than air and will naturally rise. Hydrogen, when combusted, produces water. This power plant uses the power of falling water. If they used this generator to split water, could the hydrogen then be allowed to rise up to a great height, combusted and the resulting water collected and could that water then be used to power a series of such power plants all the way down?
@meshyx I'm assuming you have your electric plate on 24hrs a day then...! Electric plates are used for short periods of time. 10-15kws is the average demand of 20-25 houses averaged over 24hrs..... There are times (dinner etc,) that instant demand is obviously much higher. At midnight - 6am I would hazard a guess it would be almost zero. Unless of course they were using cheaper night rate power....

"between 10 and 15 kilowatts of energy. That's enough energy for 20-25 Swiss households."
ONE electric heater or cooking plate uses 2 kw on full power. These Swiss households must be hobbit houses that cook and heat with firewood.

base on kct ( The Kouris Turbine Generator) - 1996 technology- i think.

That´s the way to go. Masses of such little river power generators will be the replacement for many of the dangerous and dirty old power plants.
Thumbs up!
