These things could be useful

Alright! Finally finished the big kahuna concept! If I did this right each slide will be able to generate north of 700kw per day. Many things need to be engineered and ironed out for this to work but for now - assuming it does - this might be a new way to use hydro-power. For reference if the scale was brought down to the size of a backyard - using two shipping containers for pools and using the same idea, the backyard sized pools could generate 1kw per day. It may not sound like much but It's generated 100% passive energy, It's green energy and if connected downriver to a lake this could create much more energy for much less cost. OH yeeee! (re-post pics where blurry lol)

A basic concept for a water slide that powers water generators in order to create electricity. There are many things to improve and change to make this idea possible. Feel free to share any thoughts or take my idea and make it useful however you see fit. Basically an array of passive water heaters carry warm water from one pool to another in a higher elevation. That water then pours back into the original pool down a water slide that powers generators along the way. Might add a simple water purification zone in the next one. In the surrounding area any type of vegetation can grow depending what is best in your area. This version of the design is best for warmer climates near the equator. Adding a black pool cover or something might make it possible to work in colder regions or in winter. Again this is just a beginning stage concept. This is my first shared design lol! It's a bit rough but it gets the idea across. Ahuevo!
