good job, did you make them and install them yourself or buy them somewhere?...

[jagggster]

umm we just had the idea we haven't actually installed them yet. Hopefully they can be used in new houses being built, it wouldnt be very much more expensive

brad isn't using less electricity........he is generating electricity on site! there is a big difference, get your terminology right.

Well, first of this wouldn't make any money it would just lower the cost of electricty by a little bit. Yes Im personally designing my own turbine a little like that. I understand why and were you got this idea but it wouldn't work for one reason. If you were to put energy into the pump that pumped the water through the pipe you would lose power and or energy. Then your saying your trying to gain it back by a turbine, well that also lowers the energy returned to you because of effiecent reasons.

good stuff, good luck
