Lifting the Water
Gentlemen,
I encourage you to try your experiments. The numbers look good, but I still have my doubts about using "off-the-shelf" components.
Having looked at this situation quite a bit over the years, I came to the conclusion that some process was needed to lift the water against gravity where the actual LIFTING FORCE was provided by something other than the INPUT ENERGY supplied by the system. In these investigations, I came to the conclusion that Centrifugal Force was the best candidate for that force.
While these ideas are still crude, I refer you to this page and the two articles linked there; Free Energy | Messias Machine
This at least illustrates the idea that it is possible to raise the water to a higher level without actually having to supply the energy to LIFT it ourselves. This seems like STEP ONE in the process.
Next, when allowing the water to return to its lower level again, how do you extract the maximum energy from it. Most systems simply stand the water in a column above the turbine nozzle and use the WEIGHT of the standing water as pressure. The question is, can the energy quotient of the water be raised above its simple standing weight? I believe it can, if the water is allowed to flow down a vortex shaped stand pipe, the water's velocity will be raised considerably as it "spins down the drain" so to speak. A special turbine designed to intercept the momentum of the spinning water should provide an energy output above the simple standing weight. Viktor Schauberger developed a turbine like this in the 1930's, and so I think this is STEP TWO.
When these two systems are tied together, a self running system should be possible, with the production of excess energy. The physics is sound, but the components are not commercially available. Still and all, I think a system hiding in a "farmer's silo", with high and low reservoirs and special centrifugal pumps and vortex turbines, could easily power the farm.
