ive had a thought today.
while adding extra itchy rockwool insulation to my loft i had a thought staring at all the empty space up there where a rather large water tank used to be.
i could store up rain water in my loft. take a long hose from the tank down to my garage.
then because of gravity the water would be under higher pressure and i could run it through a small turbine/generator.
i live in england. i heard it rains on average over 150-200 days a year in my area. so i figure this is very good potential free energy source. my house has a good 35metere squared of roof space and im wondering what kindof usable eletricity i can make from it
i need a good suggestion for a turbine generator. or someting i can retrofit to do the same job. i was thinking maybe a drill powered pump and a gutted power drill turned into a dyno. good idea?
let me know your thought ideas and questions.
