Hi Folks,
Got me to wondering if you took one of these pumps and pumped water up a
hill, say about 150 ft. high to a holding tank. Then run a small
diameter line back down the hill and put a small water turbine at the
bottom to charge some batteries to run the little motor that's over
there beating on the pipe how you would come out. I've got the perfect
place to try this right here on my property in East Tx.
Is $7000 really the price of this thing? I wonder if the solar panels
are what is driving up the cost. The little hammer and motor can't be
the cause, surely. Development costs I guess.
Well looks like another project to begin. Thanks for the info.
