Power generation using the potential energy stored in our tanks?

[Blom]

Tony you are completely right, there is nothing "green" about this. The initial conversation between my friend and I was to do with trying to take the tank "off the grid" so to speak. The idea was an initial solar input feeding the system. Energy would be used to pump the water to the tank, and partially recaptured for use again using the turbines. there were some other additions is there as well, but like I said it was a little to ambitious for me for this upcoming tank. But it did get me thinking more about it than I care to admit. This would be more for a project of interest than any real environmental gains. But as I find it interesting it could turn into more of an experiment for a future design on a "green" system. Truthfully though... I just find it more interesting then my current design project in school. Procrastination
