  • Publication number: 20090230687
    Abstract: It is common for the generation of hydroelectric energy, that the use of waterfalls and dams be utilized to drive a turbine for the creation of electricity. In this concept for generating hydroelectric power from water, if one could divert the water, say from a lake by means of a funnel or trap door below the water line of a large lake and have it drop onto an impeller by means of gravity, that one could produce a safe 24/7 renewable energy source. The diverted lake water used to drive the turbine, would then be pumped back into the lake by means of a corkscrew driver, thus creating a void in atmospheric pressure at the bottom of the chamber, where by creating a recycling flow of water which produces no green house gasses, such as coal fired generators.
