You can do this with a long enough hose and height difference by just using river water
Why not set something up by the river instead and just route the power?
That requires a much bigger river, that carries enough water to drive a big ass wheel, which limits your options for location a lot. If you take a look at the video i linked in the neighboring comment you can see what is possible with just a little water stream if you have the right setup.
what? Something like a Water Mill? You are crazy!
I don't think you'd get enough water pressure that way.
Just a question of height difference. 100m = 10bar
I just remembered this video i watched a while ago with a 2.5kW generator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_5wpkMmCOY
That one just has a head(height difference) of 60m so 6bar and it works just fine
Ahh, I see now. That all makes way more sense lol. Thanks for sharing.
